Many of the new enects show the
Capes leaving the arm entirely uncov-
cred to the elbow Others when a
little longer in front, have openings,
through which the hands may be
thrust, and in one cape of mink there
are mysterious sleeves appearing from
giving it an air of grace and ease
that is very attractive.
Sleeves are to play an important
part in the development of frocks as
well as wraps during the fall and
winter 1t it is recapitulation to men
ton the subjects in this correspond
ence two Or three weeks in succession.
it is because the great dressmakers
are constantly putting forward new
effects which emphasize the import
ance of the new sleeve models.
The vogue for sleeves that differ
from the frock in material is one that
demands a line or two to itself. 1t is
established beyond dispute and de-
serves its success, fer even taffeta
sleeves are too heavy for summer
wear especially when a cape is added
! to the toilette, and now that it and the
kindred silks, including grass green
are used for the corsage there must be
a lighter kind of fabric to cover the
arms. For comforts sake there are
chemisettes with sleeves made of tulle
and net and of fine lawn, and some OF
the little jackets that are worn have
piped or ruched armholes and no
sleeves.
Unquestionably the note which is
newest is the long, straight and loose
in the back. Premet has Just launch

phasize this straight cut. Just below
the waistline is a set of dark blue
floss embroidered plastron eatendeG
from hip to hip. The lower half of
the set-in, wrist-long sleeves are in
black satin. Wide bands of that ma
terial starting from the shoulder
seems cross between the bust and the
waist, and at the hips fasten with three
satin buttons to the edge of the knee
length opens front. This model is
gooa in plain linen with the crossed
bands and the lower half of the sleeves
of the material.
The polonaise adapts itself readily
to the blending of plain and striped
linens. Couturiers contrive to empha-
size the slenderness of the fashionable
figure, at the same time breaking the
long silhouette by making the narrow
skirt in the plain material and tunic-
polonaise in the striped. Especially
novel is pink white costume, the
striped coat-polonaise of which fast

ball buttons. It's mannish sleeves, but

White crepe hats are a new caprice

too large for dewdrops but suggestive
of the freshness Of early morning.
