ANGEL SLEEVE HAS RETURNED
Somewhat Different From Those OF
Another Day, but Practically
Along the Same Lines.

Angel sleeves have returned. They
are not exactly like the ones OF other
days. They show grace in the flowing
lines and cleverness in adjustment,
and they also show something new.
The regular setin sleeve has been
supplanted by the loose overdrapery.
In some cases 1t is a straight piece OF
wide lace, caught at the shoulders
under clasps, hooked in place after
being wound in scarflike lines over
the arms and shoulders; In others 1t
is sleeve with extremely widening
lines, and there need be no seams or
gathers. Tassels weight down the
edges, and jeweled landings, rhine
stones being in first favor. edge the
gauzy drapery and hold the flowing
sleeves in place.
Tulle, maline, shadow laces and ex
quisite metallic effects on GAUGES and
nets are used for angel sleeves, says
the New York Press. These are cas-
lily incorporated with bodice drapery
and arranged over the shoulders to
give the grace and use of sleeves
without undue material or trouble ir
construction.
The short kimono sleeve can be
successfully hidden by draping trans.
parent net, gauze or chiffon over ths
top catching the folds by slip stitches
here and there.
Pin all drapery first Arrange the
change until the right line is obtained
Then sew and rejoice in one Of thu
new features in evening gowns.
