spondence OF Tho Post. Mile, the cou-
turiere, will tell you that the sensation
of fall will be the fall sleeves. Advlcss
say that the big sleeves are coming In.
but as yet there are SO few of them that
they DO not count One OF the most fash
ionable OF the Partisan dress builders con-
structed gown with sleeves as large ss
balloons. IL was house dress for her
ladyship, the Countess Of Essex. But be-
yond one or two sporadic cases there are
no large sleeves, the tendency beins TO-
ward the sleeve that Is tight ut the shonl-
der.
Even the coat sleeve has gone out and
the fashionable shoulder is the round one.
Very like the sleeves OF the Louis XIV
coats these round shoulders look, and Ike
5de prints in the old books.
Many Of them are made with only enc
seam, and that seam underneath.
The fashionable length is to the elbow;
here the sleeve proper ends. and Is fin
ished with trimming and bralding OF va
rous kinds. 1t may tightly hug the arm
and be finished without pun OF any de-
scription; or 1t may flare out in bell shape.

One Of these new sleeves was In cash
mere Of soft, lovely old shade OF yellow
brown. The sleeve was perfectly smooth
and entirely tight fitting. A row OF but
tons extended down the outside. At the
elbow the eleeve terminated and was fin
ished with four bands OF black silk braid
ing.
From underneath the sleeve came a
pulled undersleeys OF white tafeta stiff
ened with some soft material. You could
plainly see that the taiIeta was held IN
shape by lining. although It was by no
means stiff In appearance. The UNDER
sleeve was in three puffs which terminated
at the wrist Below the wrist there was a
bell OF cashmere which reached fairly over
the hand.
Ono thing IS certain. They Will wear
very long sleeves. You can scarcely have
sleeve that rs too long. From under
meath tho cashmere falls rufhe OF lace,
with which Il is fashionable to finish q
cuff, and from out the depths of BIZ
cloth bell come the hands made twice al
graceful by being thus clothed.
There is another sleeve, one which bellt
at the elbow, and at the wrist has a turr
over cuff. Between elbow and wrist there
Is an undersleeye OF soft light material
These sleeves, the modiste will tell you
are the sensation Of the fall, and all thu
new gowns will show novelties OF th
kind
These sleeves are odd. but thero come
