ITS GREAT SUCCESS IN SUMMER is PRE-
DICTED-VEILS OF THE MO-
MENT IN PARIS.

Paris. April T.
Everything seems 20 be growing tight and close
about the shoulders. Dress sleeves are increasing
to an enormous size the bottom and there seems
no nrospect of any change in this direction But
shoulders are kept fat and long, and the upper
mart of the sleeve generally is very close This full
lower sleeve with the prevalence OF full skirts on
Jackets can hardly be generally becoming.
There is attempt to introduce short shoulder
capes but the same attempt in Paris year ago
was failure. The prettiest Of these new capes
are Of rnousseline de sole, and have a pun at the
shoulders. another at the elbows, and are kept
close between. Another pretty model comes down
close and long over the shoulders, and springs out
in lot of little rufles at the elbows. Empire
scarfs of silk will be little worn with street cos
tunes but in lace and mousseline de sole they
are certain of great success with summer frocks
At recent wedding the bridesmaids who all wore
gowns cut out at the throat, had these pretty
scarfs of mousseline de sole, with three tiny rows
Of fur at the ends.
There is really cot of variety in sleeves. A
sleeve that looks well in wolfe has close top,
trimmed with lace. and then great bag made Of
inch-and-a-half deep pleats or shingles. the bag
very broad the hand, where it is gathered
into a lace trimmed wristband. For the summer
there viii probably be seen much the same style
of sleeve that prevails now, without the
wristband. II the attempt to introduce lace mitts
succeeds these sleeves will be very attractive. A
becoming sleeve for a street gown has an en-
braidered cuff close and running almost 20 the
elbows, with strap of the same embroidery run
ming up the inside Of the arm TO the armhole.
The stuff forming the sleeve above the cuff is laid
in circular Pleats close and fiat above and loose
and half undone the elbows, the strap holding
the pleats close the inside of the

There is a revival of interest in Scotch plaids.

dressmakers have been preparing have had little
