Bias Folds Are in Vogue.

This is rather a fancy sleeve and is
more appropriate to silk than to any
very soft or thin material AS bias
folds are in vogue now one can be put
en- as a border in place of the plain
band or of the embroidery, according
to how dressy one wants the sleeve TO
appear.
Figure G is another illustration of the
popular puffed sleeve. 1t viii be noticed,
however, that practically without excep-
ton all the puffs are comparatively
small
This sleeve has a shaped cuff extend

and hanging over a small elbow pun

In figure F we have an example OF
how sleeve of the new and smart
striped silk is made UP. 1t has rather
full, square sleeve cap on the shoulder,
bordered with embroidered silk and
band of plain color, succ as viii look
best on the silk and viii match the
color of ore OF the stripes in the ma
teriaI The matching a stripe IS not
absolutely necessary, but it is chic
where lit can be effectively done.
The plain band is edged with lace.
Medallion ornaments of embroidered
silk are arranged at the corners OF the
sleeve cap. The sleeve is built in two
,,uffs, the larger one of which has a
curved, ruffied front piece falling below
the corner Of the sleeve cap and extend
ing across the front of the sleeve. 1t
is made without the color band, but has
a beraer of embroidery and edging of
lace This same trimming finishes the
sleeve fiounce at the elbow, above two
full ruffies Of lace.

Brevity and Puf6ness Are Correct.

A great many varieties of sleeves are
to be found this season, but all main
tain the general outline of brevity and
puffness of limited character.
In Figure A we have the puffed form
of s;eeve. 1t is pleated to the armhole
and gathered to a band above the ell
bow. Above this the puff Is elabora ted
with a design of stuffed embroidery and
a graceful latticework. A ruffle set on
below this band hangs over three grad
uated ones of white lace which fall
ia a point over the elbow and narrow
over the front Of the arm.
Figure B forms quite a contrast to

its points fall upon each side Of the
armhole, with a border extending over
the armhoie seam upon the top or the
sleeve puff The sleeve is built with
three puffs upon the upper arm and one
lust at the elbow. Each pun droops
over the top o. the one below IT, and
the style is one veil adapted to SORT
thin materials, such as MULE, crepe de
chine aid chiffon, batiste and chiffon
j'cIoth.
The last puff is trimmed with an IN
serting of lace and has f1ounce OF lace
below it, falling over the elbow pun

Some Useful and Interesting Hints to the Home Dressaer

When using a sewing machine, the
best way to finish OF neatly and firmly
is to turn the work round, and work
back again short way, so that the
stitches will be double.
When new evening gowns are few and
far between nothing is so useful an
either black or white, which by change
OF flowers or trimming may. be altered
out of all knowledge.
When cutting out sleeves. to avoid the
disaster of cutting both for the same
arm, fold the materiel either face to
face or back TO oS,t5sk-g glace pattern on
It and cut both togeraer. a proper pair

The small sleeve, almost fitting to the
