to the small pun sleeve have few single

cover styles there Is not much new; with
tho exception that they are not cut on
quite as full lines as formerly. Many of
these garments are made with peplums
In order TO do away with any super
iuous fullness over the hips. Semi
ftted corset covers are made in one piece
with the arm hole shaped out and the
top properly dipped at top and sioped
at front. the edge scalioped. and a pretty
design embroidered below the embroid-
cred eyelets. through which ribbons are

which Is the rule in the fine night
gowns. and the sleeves are usually short
and often fanclful. One of'the fanciful
effects that is charming is the lacing
of ribbon up the outside Of the sleeve
and shoulder. Dainty nightgowns are
now made with wide Dutch collars and
fine embroidery scalloped and edged with
lace. Down the front from collar TO

embroidery. Here and there are put
