NO COVERING FOR ARMS.
On French Evening Dresses Not the
Slightest Sleeve Is Employed.

For evening frocks the arm-finish Is
rs dainty and airy as possible If the
slightest sleeve is employed 1t is of
such shortness and lightness that it is
only an excuse for a sleeve. Women
with we'll nodded arms have had no
opportunity to show them for some
years. and now is their chance. The
best coutouriers do not like to put
even a small sleeve into their evening
or dinner gowns, and do so only when
strictly ordered by the client A pref
ty band of velvet is all that many Of
the gowns have around the armhole.
Such a garniture rests daintily on the
arm. and gives a soft finish to the
skin
Worth has some lovely arm-finishes
to his ball gowns. Flowers trim the
corsages in some cases, and then the
place about the armhole is trimmed
with flowers-preferably roses or
violets-and the effect is beautiful.
For young girls 1t is delicious. Ameri-
can debutantes have chosen many
gowns with such arm decorations to
be worn at their second parties.
French girls have the rather long,
plain elbow sleeve, for the debutante
in that country is decidedly more OF
child than her beautiful American
cousin.

that there are sundry smears and
smudges across the front, caused pos
sibly by an overcoat that is none too
clean, or gloves that are no longer

as the one which Is shown in our II.
lustration will entirely prevent any
catastrophe of this description, and
also prove a protection from cold.
1t is made in black satin, lightly
quilted, and lined with white satin, SO
that the white satin comes next to
the shirt and helps to keep 1t clean
The front is fastened with loops OF
silk cord, and the whole thing bound
at the edges with black silk braid
When this protector is in use 1t is
almost entirely hidden by the over
coat; but even should part of 1t be
visible 1t is by no means unsightly.
During the cold weather, too, such q
protection will keep the wea,er
comfortably warm, and may save
many a chill.

Quite naturally the blue and white
aprons are trimmed with fiat, white

are made without trimming or with
natural colored embroidery, which
however, is not cheap. A very good
thing to avoid is colored braid or col

either of these you take grave chances
on their running into the goods.

CLEVER SCHEME THAT FAILED.
Old Salesman's Advice Left Firm
Worse Off Than Before.

Henry Clews is telling a new story
which he says he got straight from
the Canal street district, says the
New York Times. A young jobbing
firm, the tale tells, overbought for
the fall trade. Their heaviest mistake
had been in the line of overcoats,
which 1t looked they would have to
carry over a season. Efforts to get
cash for the stock we're fruitless, ex-
cept at ruinous rates. AT last the firm
went to an old-timer in the trade for
advice. Well" said the man Of ex-
perience, you've got a pretty good
list of customers. Just divide the
coats up into lots of thirteen each,
Send a batch apiece to some Of your
sharpest customers, but make out
the bills for twelve They'll be so
tickled to get one coat for nothing
that they'll take 'em all" The scheme
had been tried before the men met
again. The old-timer waited for HIS

coats?" he asked. Eyes" returned
