no exception. II is rumored that
one of the great dressmakers of Par
is, who is a maker of new modes and
oddities, has concoted a new sleeve
for the world of fashion. IL is full
length and sheath fitting, except at
the elbow, where there is some room

true that good many of the new
models brought from Europe this
spring do show tendency in this di-
rection.
With the long continued rage for
lingerie effects the silk petticoats
furnished with removable lace and
embroidered flounces have come to
be a prominent feature of we'll fur
nished wardrobes. The fiounces are
adjusted In a host of ways-with
headings on both skirt and fiounce
through which they are laced togeth-
er with ribbons, by loops on both.
which are also theaded with ribbon.
and by buttons and buttonholes which
fasten under a blind band at the top
of the flounce.
Some charming revivals of the
second empire effects in skirts are
promised us, brought about by the
popularity of LA Savelle" play

but the crinoline on it's old lines at
least, is not modern possibility, yet
some of the ornamental scroll de-
signs that were used on the volum-
inous skirts of the Empress Eugenie
are being used on many of the latest
models. The first design copied from
one worn by Rejane. who takes the
principle part in La Savelle," Is of
striped silk In black and white. with
cross bars in velvet ribbons. the bars
being diagonal to each other and
placed only on the wide white
stripes. On another gown-an even
ing gown this tie--the velvet ribbon
with frilled edge OF lace was ar,
ranged In a foral daisy pattern at
regular intervals around the bottom
of the dress. The idea could be car

and makes a novel and charming
suggestion for trimming the spring
or summer frocks. One more lovely
gown of point d esprit had the shirt
trimmed with hounces of net edged
with lace. The founces were set I'm
deep joints and were finished with
butterfly bows OF ribbon, while the
sash OF black ribbon had butterflies

for sash ends and fringe Is being
used discretly but with ever increas-
ing popularity both on skirt nounces
and waist.
Shirt-walsts are being shown both
fancy and plain TO suit the taste and
needs OF every one. The lingerie
blouse still holds its own in popu-
larity and is designed with tucks and
plaits In various arrangements. One
style Is tucked solid across the front
in yoke depth while the back shows
only a few at the center but extend

sleeves are also tucked. Another

tucks below. while the back has a
yoke facing matching the front In

fancy mode that is very much tucked
