This year the choice of a sleeve model is
much more difficult than ever before for
one authority claims that only long
sleeVeS-and extremely long ones-wlu DE
worn while another says, Short sleeves
Will be as popular as ever Then there
are the advocates for the tight -htting
sleeves set in without fullneSs at the top,
preserving a continuous line from neck
band to elbow: while others again are
oval TO the puffy. bouffant effects.
fortunately nowadays fashions de-
mands are no longer arbitrary, so that
women who always like to follow the pre-
valling modes are allowed considerable
latitude by way of adaptations and modi-
hcatlons: therefore there is no real rea-
son why the choice may not be both up
'o-date and becoming
The very tight-fitting long shoulder is
not going TO suit every figure, neither is
the full barloon-like sleeve. but it is
quite an easy matter TO strike medium
that will be satisfactory for all.
The style of sleeves should depend
largely upon the kind of material that
is being used and whether they are put
IN as parts of d gown or d separate waist
Sleeves Must Harmonic With Frock
"A third consideration is the kind of
waist or gown-whether for morning,
street. house or evening wear.
The fad of the moment is undoubtedly
the long shoulder effect. both or gowns.
handsome waists wraps or coats. the
sleeves set in without fullness or cut in
one with the yoke or upper part of the
blouse. The woman whose figure is not
good should avoid those extremes. and
while following the long shoulder should
cut it off in mandarin effect little below
the armholes to fall over undersleeves.
CAS- far as "a coat is concerned the sleeve
cut in one with the body is not so trying
and can be worn much more gracefully
than can waist cut on this order. If
me underseeve is cut fairly full and con-
lined at the elbow with a tight band
meeting long, tght-ftting cuffs, probably
matching the yoke. the result will be a
combination of smartness and becoming
ness that will become the average woman.
This kind of sleeves is pretty model for
an afternoon house frock or for wear on
the street later in the season. and is suit
able for silk. cashmere or any of the thin
wooden fabrics in light weight.
Little puffy. frilly looking sleeves are
pretty as an accompaniment of the short
waist over the Raquin skirt, while cape
or bell shape are more in keeping with
gowns in tunic effects.
Some of the handsomest gowns in vel
vet are made up with long sleeves, full at
the top. but attached to very long Shout
der seams. then gradually clinging to the
arm so that a the wrist they are tight
lifting. The tops are decorated to suggest
a dropping of the waist by means of en-
bro.dered bands.
Leg O. Mutton Sleeves.
In fine cloths the small reg of mutton
shape fitting the arm below the elbow,
then covered with folds. is an extremely
good model for a gown. Sheer materials,
whether developed in a gown or separate
waist, may carry out the same design,
but in mousquetaire style instead of the
difficult overlapping folds.
The latter is a little more difficult for
the amateur to attempt.
Another pretty sleeve that is fashion
able reaches the elbow and is composed
of overlapping frils of lace. Folds around
the arms of the material suggest manda-
rim sleeves. and these are continued on
the waist until they outline chemisette
of lace. This is an effective style for a
young girls evening froch if the costume
is made from any Of the soft fabrics, such
as albatross. yelling. etc.
Many of the so-called dressy waists of
lace, net. chiffon. etc. show long sleeves,
but the majority are made up in elbow
length. Certainly these are smarter look
ing for theater wear with long gowns, but
the sleeves are prettfest for house dress.
Anyway. one may really take their
choice and still be quite fashionable.
When the skirt matches. the sleeve is
more dressy. For instance. one model mas
sleeve and part of the waist cut in one,
the join concealed under suspenders. Civ
ing a one-piece effect. The sleeves are
three-quarter length and cut in modified
butterfly shape, only little sloping given
under the arms to the waist line. This
is pretty for chambrays or any dainty
wash goods and can be trimmed win en-
