SLEEVE POCKET FOR THE FAN
innovation Favored by Paris Seems to
Presage Return Of Such Re-
ceptacles to Fashion.

During the past year the pocket has
been slowly and steadily regaining its
position in woman's toilettes and even
SO daring an innovation as sleeve
pocket has now been made possible.
This Is quite the latest fashion note
from Paris, the new form of pocket
being chiefly intended as receptacle
for the tiny fan, which is SO much in
vogue at present.
The pocket Is usually inserted In the
sleeve just below the elbow, the aper-
ture being cleverly concealed with
lace or chiffon, SO that it's presence
Is not even suspected until the fair
wearer suddenly produces miniature
embroidered fan, apparently out Of
her arm.
The fan pocket Is to be found on
either sleeve of smart afternoon
gown and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs is frequently pro-
yided with a pocket after the same
style.
Although originally intended only to
hold the fan, as In China, the sleeve
pocket has been found SO convenient
that it is also used to hold a lace
handkerchief. and there is no doubt
that its dimensions will increase when
sleeves assume large proportions

lections from which already amount
