number of very pretty models
Exceedingly well liked too, and practical
not only for the sheer frock but for any
dressy summer frock is the model whose
full upper sleeve ia untrimmed but whose
loose cuff, made Of bands of insertion and
open stitch running around the arm has at
its top several frlls Of valenciennes lace
in two inch width. mounted upon very
sheer naring foundation 80 that they flare
out upon this upper sleeve in gauntlet
fashion
Often the fulness Of this upper sleeve IL
not shirrcd into the cun with slight droop,
but narrows toward the point Of union
with the cuff and IL perhaps set into that cuff
with little vertical tuCks several inches in
length Such an arrangement gives
general line resembling that OF the leg o.
mutton rather than Of the ordinary full
upper and fitted cuff sleeve and is more
modish than the latter model.
Little tucls. running downward for
short distance from the armhole, are seen
upon some of the new sleeves, but they are
for trimming purposes not to confine the
fulness. and must on no account be allowed
to contract the full broad line OF the sleeve
at the shoulder
The very soft lingerie materials often
refuse to stand out smartly at the top, no
matter how full they may be there and it is,
of course. impossible to use any support

give them more substance and make them

long tight cuff lace was inset in similar
points but running round the cuf, with
the points ending on the outside of the

Another upper sleeve had lines OF inset

lace and embroidery cuffs requires skill
and taste.
