EVENING SLEEVES.
There is a great variety in the sleeves demand
ed for evening gowns. The usual form is the short.
close shoulder sleeve. which is. however not al
ways becoming This little sleeve may quite prop
erly be puffed a trife, it may be turned into
very short, full ruffle. The elbow sleeve belongs
to dinner gowns than to gowns intended for
the ballroom. A pretty effect is gained by using
a fichu over the arms and about the decoetage
The cOrsage should in this case be attached by
straps of ribbon, lace or jewels over the shoul-
ders, and the fichu is draped about the arms and
the top of the corsage, fastening in a knot
side.

a gown of purple panne there twelve of these in
white satin hounce of purple satin. The
corsage of white lace has little jacket of the
panne with undervest that turns into a sash of
the purple satin. with white cords on the ends
There is an air of simplicity to this gown that is
rather quaint.
The popular high necked gown that shall be

with narrow black velvet ribbon and on the bottom
of the tunic some touches of black velvet add
character
