sleeve is coat shaped but usually fin
with braid and. Of course, the high band

long coats boast sleeves in more fanclfui
effects. These. however. are always wrist
length, but may be cut very full, then

Picturesque Models for Wraps.
For sleeves in velvet or cloth wraps
fashioned in picturesque styles there Is
no f1xed law. These are fixed to con-
form with the mode adopted for the body

be long and flowing. or. again. the sleeve
may be only a bit of added drapery.
Coats OF this description are. of course,
only suitable for evening or carriage wear.
The long sleeve is quite as fashionable
for gowns as for wraps. though in the
more elaborate models two. and some
times three, different materials are en-
ployed in their construction. which gives
the effect quite often OF the shorter sleeve.

caught with butterfly bows or strands of
mock jewels. or simply formed from
strips OF embroidery or similar dainty
trimming.
Styles of sleeves in separate waists are
not made according to set models. The
plain. tailored morning waist of cotton or
woolen goods should always he finished

the same models. The plaid and striped
silks invariably adopt this simple fashion.
