ULTRA FASHIONABLE SLEEVES.
Dressmakers Are Busy s1ashing,
Putting and Adding Buckles.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE long tight
sleeve, technically known in dressmaking
circles as the Desdemona. will play no
part at all in the architecture of the new
spring gowns. The show windows are al
ready gay with spring dress patterns and
designs for their making, and the full

Eugene sleeves, as you may prefer to
call them, cover the arms of every fash

1t is no exaggeration to say that hardly

that there is every prospect that the floor

One, and the most novel of the lot is
a pouched sleeve ending with ribbon ends
and gilt ferrets just below the curve of
the elbow. This typeties the ultra fash

spring frock. Already the dressmakers
are sharpening up their needles and scis-

New York, Jan. 11.-"For the last two

earning a very scant living with her
needle and we decided to try the experi-

that all was done by hand, perfect fits

these circulars fell into the right hands

friends who were good enough to take
an interest in our success. Though we
secured the orders for several elaborate
