NEW STYLE OF SLEEVES.
A Large Puff at the Elbow of Diff
ferent Material

A new style of sleeve has suddenly
made its appearances large puff of
different material from the rest of the
waist Is at the elbow, looking as though
that part OF the body had been injured
and consequently had to be treated with
a great banGage, says Harpers' Bazaar.
There Is nothing whatever pretty about
this fashion, which has broken out with
some virulence, for it makes the arm
look deformed, or as though there had
not been quite enough of the original
material te finish the sleeve. Write

Of the white satin pushing thro-.sh the
black lace also at the elbow while an
all-black waist with white undersIeAvas
shows the Qndersleeye first at the elbow
ana then again at the waist. The bishoo
sleeve, IN itself an ugly fashion. is bet
ter than this last fad, and even the un-
dersleeVe Is more attractive.
The fancy waises afford an excellent
opportunity for the display of strange
fashions in sleeves; besides this pjIT
that breaks out at. the elbow. there ia
a new sleeve that is slashed from wrist

pronounced as in the other styles.

HOW FASHIONS MOVE.
Harking Back to the Much Ridi-
cuied "Greefan Bend"

Fashions and customs move In cycles.
Here we are barking back to the much
ridiculed "Greclan bend Of seirty years
ago. Look on this and then on that, a
faithful representation of the figure, pose
and costume fashionable in 1870, and OF
that Of the smart young women Of today
The large hustle and the hunched-up
drapery in the back of the skirt are not
duplicated, but the dipped belt, the for
emphasize the resemblance to the bend
our mothers affected.
The walk is really the chief feature.
To acquire it girls spend hours in the
fashionable gymnasiuns perfecting them
selves IN the .ehesty'' attitude. With
the abdomen drawn in, the chest thrown
out, hips well In place and shoulder
blades fattened, the u1odish girl is ready
to swing forward with the ungraceful but
smart gait that brings out the curves OF
the bend in bold relief.
Fashionable girls seem to grow taller
now than in other days and It is the tall
girl that carries of the forward bend
and the ''ka ngaroo" walk most effective
ly. Its popularity may be traced partly
to their cultivation OF the fad, and part
" to the affectation of an attractive
young actress who carried It with her
from the stage TO Fifth avenue. where
II won the commentator or the men and
the envy Of the women, says the New
York Press. II imitation is The sincerest
aattery, then the young woman from
stageIand must have been overwhelmed
by seeing her gait SO generally copied.
The dipped belt was seized upon eager
ly. to aceentuate the new figure. The
waist line was kept well up in the back.
as that IS an Indication Of youthfuIness
the physical culturists say. but In front
the dip deepened until there was no waist
line at all only an inward curve extend
ing downward from the protruded chest
The eorsetma kers seized upon this ten
dency to get out new figure corsets. >
which help out the similarity. Even the
sleeves have helped out the outlines of
the figure Of 1870 by reshapening them
selves over the old patterns. with the
outward flare above the under sleeves
gathered into the wrist
The new century girl does not lose the
lines of the bend even when she sits
down, and her back comes no nearer
touching the back Of the chair than did
the back of the Grecian bend period.
The fashion plates OF the early '70s do
not show figures SO remotely different
from our own as those Of the first years
Of the 'ees. when the straight I'D AMI
down lines and broad shoulders extend
ed by voluminous sleeves were in vogue.
We have about completed a cycle, and
are waiting for the next mandate of
Fashion to begin another.
