Snsh-likc kindred arrangements meet the eye
at every turn, the short bell sleeve being par
tjcularly prominent / snw. likewise, some bal
loon sleeves Of lace, scored by loose straps OF the
dress material, their upper ends sewn into the
armhole and their lower caught in by the brace
let band that is now applied to the majority OF
sleeves.
There were also sleeveless bodices and boleros
worn over lace chemisettes. These mostly
cut down low, both back and front, and gcner-
ally trimmed about the shoulders, the narrow
draped fichu fastened one side by bunch
of flowers being in special favor.
One of the best specimens OF this sort that
came under my notice was princess in orchid
tinted China crepe. The three tiers Of the skirt
and the fchu were embroidered and cut in fes-
toons, and the latter being held together by a
bunch OF orchids. AS for the chemisette, it was
singular in being of mauvesprigged linon.
