eATIsTE MUCH USED
FOR SHIRT-WAIsTS
AND THIN DRESSES

Batiste Is shown in nearly all of
the finer waists and thin white dress
es. Certainly It is something suitable
for the purpose and looks exceedingly
well with its natural trimming OF val
enciennes. Fancy waist sleeves for
dressy occasions are not long nor
short The puff is elbow length, with
a cum reaching about half way down
the forearm. IL is quite ornamental,
being fashioned Of tucks and insertion
and edged with lace rufles, possibly
three-fourths OF an inch wide. The
cuffs are not so wide, either, and the
pulled portions show considerable
trimming of tucks, inlaid panels of
lace and other decorative features
frequently seen in lace effects.
Mandarin materials are used for
the colored waists, though the
mandarin lines are fast disappear
ing, only where drapery in diaphanous
effects are desired for sleeve arrange
ments. For general wear the shirt
waist is strictly tailored and can be
made in practically any of the tai
lored modes. The sleeves are long
and often just a common coat sleeve
with the little extra fullness plated
and stitched at the hand or finished
with a cum. The bishop sleeve is a
standard pattern and will be seen on
many shirt waists, while the leg o.
mutton sleeve is mostly used for thin
dresses, particularly the white batiste
frocks.
