Sleeves in all coats are TO the wrist
and cuffs in more or less fanciful design
are upon many new models. In some Of
the "high-style' coats that are designed
very closely after those of one or an
other historical period, the sleeves are
finished at the wrist with deep frills Of
lace such as the men OF the court and
other handles OF those times wore The
