edge of the belt is kept well down, or the deepest line of the basque sits jauntily out at the hips, so as still to retain a rather long-waisted effect.
 But if the shape of the corsase as regards the waist is but little modlhed so far from what it was in the winter, there is very decided new note at another point: the necessary up-to- dateness of your frock will reveal it. Self at the shoulder. For the dress sleeve proper now reduces itself to practically an epaulette-a very short puff at the utmost-and the sleeve that actually covers the arm to the elbow comes out of the arm-hole as distinct affair, making believe, as it were, to appertain to an underblouse, even though no blouse be there. This is described as "kimono" fashion, though with not much more exactitude than the existing short-waisted style is Empire" However, the Japanese "kimono'' cut is the idea, the original model, from which these new shoulder and armhole effects have ''evoluted;" that is certain The shoulder cut all | in one with the front of the bodice, thus giving a very long effect on the top of the shoulder, and the extremely wide andrlowz cut under armhole, make a very characteristic feature in the new models, and fulfill the object of our dictators, the dress-producers, in compelling us to restock our ward- robes.
 As an under.sleeve, appearing out of the wide, full, and often draped epau- letted sleeve, there usually comes, to reach to the elbow only, puff of some fancy or fragile and delicate fabric, as lace, broderie Anglaise, soft satin, embroidered gauge, or pleated tulle. This undersleeve is made of the more fragile fabric, irrespective of whether that is used elsewhere on the dress, although, as a general rule, more or less of the material of the sleeve will be seen introduced some how. The effect of the 'kimono" cut with the lighter sort of undersleeve coming out of the wide armhole, is naturally much the same as 1t would be if there were a separate blouse be ing worn, to which the under.sleeves belonged; and in fact this is the case sometimes, the corsage being bolerc without any more sleeves than the "kimono" cut gives. and a blouse i: worn beneath. showing down the front and as the elbow sleeves. Frequently however. the whole corsage is in one and a yoke. or 8 vest down the front or only a V at the throat, is of thu same material as the sleeves, al placed on one fitted lining with tn, rest of the bodice.
