Tho New Sleeves.

The new sleeves are long not the
most comfortable mode for summer
but fortunately they are loose. on the
order Of a straight Chinese sleeve.
Some are very noticeable on account OF
their bagginess. while others are close
fitting. When they are not put into
the regulation size armhole they are
attached to an enlarged armhole,
which adds to the general baggy, loose
appearance Of the garment. The ex-
tended shoulder Is likewise shown on
some Of the new coats.
