But there 4 a sleeve which is more
popular than either the leg of mutton
or the bagpipe, and this sleeve is the
one which is very full, but is finished
at the wrist with a wide band which
resembles a cuff. This cuff-like ar
rangement, far from being tight at the
hand, is very loose. and inside of it
there is set very wide lace frill.
This wide lace frill is a feature of
the new sleeves and there are a great
many kinds of frills. The most every
day one is the lace ruffie, which is very
full, and which can be set in the wrist
by any one. 1t should be graduated In
width. with the widest part falling on
the under sic of the arm.
The wrists of nearly all the new
sleeves are very wide and into them
there are set lingerie cuffs. These lin

name suggests. and are knife plated.

to be sewed in the sleeves, for less than
five dollars.
Those who do not want to pay as
much as that for the finish Of their wide
sleeves can purchase some wide lace
ruf1ing and can sew it in the wrists.

and should fall over the knuckles in a

finished by cutting them on just below
the elbow, where the sleeve is widest.
A very deep band Of ribbon is now sew

is set the wide lingerie lace RUNE. This

ordered her to bring from her brough-
am large package which. carefully
pinned uD in wrapping cloths, lay un-
der the seat
Opening it, Mrs. Paset displayed to
the Queens delighted eyes a gown
which, in all Paris. could not be beaten
in point Of chic.
There is a skirt" said Mrs. Paget
with a row Of embroidery running
around it-so. And there is a cunning
lace coat, Of half length, just over the
hips. There are cuffs and pockets and
there is q deep collar" But here words
failed, for both ladies were lost in ad-
miration of one OF the prettiest gowns
that viii be seen this season.
Its material was only a butter coll
ored linen. But it was embroidered in
white A wide band Of butter colored
insertion was let into the skirt and the
white embroidery made a border at
top and bottom Of the insertion.
The coat was made of piece lace. 1t
was tight fitting at the back and the
sides. The front hung open and loose
in a happy manner, which carries a
certain grace with it. The pockets and
the cuffs were deep and beautifully
embroidered in white and the collar
was done in the same way. OF course
the sleeves had their lace frills.
Mrs. Paget, who is the Queens con-
hdantc and favorite, went shopping
with her Majesty the other day. They
shopped afoot and nearly bought out a
shop where handsome tubbable summer
goods are sold. her Majesty purchasing
gowns for herself, the Princess Of
Wales. the Princess Kari OF Denmark
and the Princes Louise. Mrs. Paget
bought turquoise. dove colored and
a sage green gown. in linen, batiste and
lawn. And all the gowns were trim
med with lace.
This fashion for lace trimming is
leading its devotees along odd paths.
The spectacle Of a woman OF fine taste
and OF very exclusive fashions in dress
purchasing light green lace by the yard
is no unusual one. And, II you follow

forget the coat. for this Is Of supreme
Importance this year.
The coats offer as wide a variety as
the sleeves, yet all have certain points
of resemblance. All are beautifully
made, all are exquisitely trimmed and
all are finished with gorgeous sleeves
which fall away from the arm in splen-
did style.
The popularity OF the Eton coat is
unquestioned. This little coat, which
is cut off at the belt line. 10 made this
season in a wide variety of ways, one
OF the neatest of which is with the
position back. This position back
consists simply of couple of hand
some tabs, but they form finish for
the back of the coat, which Is very in-
teresting. The position finish utterly
takes away any Of the bobtail look
which is the unhappy lot of SO many
Elton jackets.
Yet one cannot criticize the Etons Of
this season, for they are too perfect for
criticism. The girl who Is little too
shol can make for herself a suit OF
cream colored cloth. She can make the
skirt in round length and she can cut
the upper part as an Eton. She will
want to slash 1t Off short enough to
show handsome belt. But the front
she can face with band Of turquoise
blue Louisine and next to this she can
set band of Persian.
there will be very deep gauntlets and
below the Eauntlets there will hang
deep lingerie cuffs. In this manner the
short girl can make herself . cream
colorcd suit which will not make her
look dumpy, but be becoming all the
season and will hold its style until
fall.

way that you scarcely recognize them
