SHORT SLEEVES LOSING VOGUE.
Partisan Modistes Declare for Change
in Fashion.

AS usual, sleeves are Of prime I'M
portance in the warm weather ward
robe, says Mrs. Osborn in the De
lneator. More than any other de-
tail of the toilet they betray the eX-
act date of its creation. "a gown IS
as old as its sleeve is an axiom OF
the dressmaking profession.
In Pasis the short sleeve is already
passe. The American woman, however,
will not drop it abruptly for the long
sleeve. She will be inclined to tenn
pOrize on account of the heat Of our
long summer. but by autumn it is a
certainty that the short sleeve Will
have been laid to rest
One of the best examples OF the
tvpical small sleeve is used IN the
taiIleur. 1t is full length, of course
close fitting and with no pTceptlbie
fu}ness at the armhole. An eXcellenl
nhase of it is illustrated in the cos
tune of shantung in the shade called
ashes of viOlets. Inc nttle Goa
has a square scanned position oacf
and a deep V-shaped closing in the
front that IS caught to one side witt
a darker tone chou Of silk, plated ant
ruched into a clever semblance or
| double violet.
The sleeve IS most interesting ant
unusual, for it has but one seam, an'
that on the outside Of the arm. Ih'
sleeve buttons from the elbow TO I'M
wrist with bias line of great button
holes bound In cloth, and small roun'
c]oth,coyered buttons. The aTmhoI

a large boil cotton could not be grown
to yield successfully where there were
wcevils. Moreover, 1t was thougn1
that the simultaneous setting Of squares
on different c0ttNls should be folio"
ed by the simultaneous opening OF
their bolls. A similar belief, equally
erroneous, would be that cotton set

For Mourning Wear.

Some years ago movement against
Grape took place in England, Of which
the influence was felt in America.
The swing of the pendulum has now
once more brought Grape in favor for
mourning use, and it is an English
manufacture-even in Paris English
Grape is used-British manufacturers
are rejoicing. The recent death of the
duke Of Dev0nshire has thrown a
great number of families into mourn
ing. and the abundance of Grape used
is very noticeable.

FOR THE LITTLE MAIDEN.
Dainty Lingerie That Is Considered
the Mode.

Although the small maiden may
have an assortment of silk slips she
never wears separate silk petticCSt
or one trimmed with ribbons. Her
white skirts are carefully measured
an inch shorter than her frocks, and
are of somewhat heavier materials,
preferably lonsdale or cambria. These
may have deep founces or embroid-
cred muslin headed with heading, to
accompany lingerie dresses, or sew
eral rutileS of dotted and figured swiss
may be used, as this launders well,
looks exceedingly dainty and is mex
pensive. TO the white petticOat is
usually attached an underWalSt Of
similar material and beading finish,
| through which may be run very mar
row white, light blue or pink ribbons.
This waist may be Joined by means
| Of band or cut in one with the UNI
brella shaped pettiCoat, thus avoiding
unnecessary bulk about the hips if the
| child be somewhat stout. Some lit

coat a shorter skirt and drawers cut
in one piece and joined at the waist,

is worn over little spun silk or Isle

ton Of which 10 still in first hands,
may soon command higher prices than
now prevail. Statistics show that the
shortage in the worlds supply, includ-
ing the Indian and Egyptian crops,
will approximate four million bales at
the end of the season. Even with
trade conditions abnormally dull, it is
hardly to be conceived that the spin
ners will choose to face the opening
of the new season with stocks reduced
to practically nothing. Hence, many
students of the situation think that
competition for the remainder of the
present crop will soon become very
sharp and prices will ascend CORE.
