1t would seem that the attempts to re-
vive the panier and the crinoline will be

vertise the dressmaker's cravings for
novelty The only point in the spring
fashions where client and oressmaker

luding to the elbow.
Sleeves are long and mostly transpar-
emit, in mousseline de sole, in the color
or the taffetas of charmeuse dress. In
the Jackets they are also long, made also
In taffeta or in the finest Of serge. But
invariably these jacket sleeves have a
long frilling of the finest white tulIe
edged with lace equally fine. In some
instances the tulle and lace are of the
same width and cover the hand to the
knuckles. For evening dress the sleeves
are sometimes made of the thinnest Of
silk blond and wonderfully becoming
to a well-shaped arm. The very low

man ought to be smooth shaver"
Mile. Polaire being of the same opinion
writes: My personal opinion Is that
boards or mustaches are permissible only
in men who have an ugly mouth or poor

Mile. Marcelle YrYen says: What IS

smooth-shaven face? This is no matter
OF fashion but simply a matter of taste.
