No sleeve is prettier than the one in
raglan style. 1t takes becoming lines and,
since it il one of. the easiest possible to
make, it has a double advantage. This
kimono is quite simple one with band
trimming and it is as satisfactory cut off
to form a sacque as il is In full length.
The pretty, simple Oriental silks are
favorite materials for such garments.
There are challies that are shown in
attractive designs, there are really beau
tiful cotton crepes and great many
women find cashmere and albatross well
suited to such purpose with the trim
ming of silk that makes good contrast
or with the edges simply scalloped with
heavy floss and, since hand work always
gives a touch of distinction to any gown,
scallopcd edges are especially attractive.
