NEW YORK. Jan. 14-In recent
lecture given in New York by Miss
Morris. daughter of William Morris,
whose work in design has meant so
much educationally to this country,
said that our sleeves should be made
much more of and considered as a sep
time keeping in harmony with the rest
of the costume.
given much more attention in the days
gone by and the designs made for
them was an art in itself and it is a
wonder that the designers of this age
have not picked up the idea for they
have cuned everything else of any
note.
Nevertheless there is more attention
by those artists who are really dress
makers in the truest sense. 1t is not
enough to just make an arm covering
il must be more, it must be becoming
to the person who shall wear neither
too big, with that lines that bring
out the best in the arm lines and the
shoulder Especially is this true of
the reception and theater gown. One
STYLE the kimono sleeve, is empra-
sized by the waist drapery which is
really a part of the sleeve and often
falls over it like a cap of transparent
stuff. Sleeves of this description are
usually of the elbow length and worn
with a slightly open neck.
A dinner gown of brocade the waist
of which was made in surplice effect
had a sleeve of the same material and
is of the envelope mode. a triangular
piece being set in at the back seam
and lays over the upper arm as the
flap of an envelope usually having a
decorative button in the point. A cord
finish ornaments the lower edge and
also the flap on the sleeve. To this
gown was added a lace extension
sleeve which same lace filled in the
V neck.
A pretty sleeve that was part of a
theater gown made with a square neck
filled in with shocked chiffon and tiny
frills, was gathered loosely into the
armhole and the cuff at the bottom
just across the elbow resembled the
turning back of the sleeve like roll
caught with a number of little en-
broidered bands. It's original was
sleeve.
The slashed sleeve has been a fav-
orite since the early days of history
and no style gives a wider range for
decorative effects. The under sleeve
may be as decorative as ornamental
as YOU please with a partial covering
of the rich material of the gown fas-
Jennings of velvet or gold cord or rib
bons holding it together apparently.
Some of the peasant sleeves will have
good ideas for such elaboration, while
the old prints of history are sure to
disclose many odd fancies.
A sleeve of the simplest kind ac-
a beautiful gown of cream
chiffon and lace 1t was nothing more
than straight piece of the chiffon
shaped at the top to the armhole and
finished at the bottom with a narrow
band of lace and cut out with the lace
corselet of the waist was a little cap
that fell over the shoulder. 1t was
very simple but quite attractive.
A sleeve that looked as though it
had been copied from some monks
frock was at the upper portion like a
common shirt sleeve widening out
toward the elbow where splash from
elbow to wrist was made and num-
Der of folds set in the whole drawn
into a narrow cuff at the wrist Need
less to say only the slight woman can
don such a sleeve as all fullness at
the elbow or on the forearm increases
the size of the wearer at the waist
