GUILD you know what the
new summer blouse is to be
like? Long sleeves must it
w possess, first of all--no hope
OF cool. comfy short sleeves for this
summer, sorry as one is to make the
statement. Every woman is asking
wistfully anent the new blouses: But
are there no elbow sleeved models ?"
None at all. mesdames; and the longer
your sleeves are, the smarter you will
look. Some of the new sleeves,
stretched out with no arms within
them, seem to measure a good yard
and quarter in length; but on the
arm they are merely very long, limp
sleeves that bag over little above the
cuff.
And sleeves are full, also. No more
tight sleeves, if you would be excess
sively chic. The fullness is gathered
softly into a low shoulder, or into a
regulation small armhole and floats
about the arm, cuff of any width
i from an inch to ten inches combining
the sleeve below the elbow. One must
decide on the shape of ones sleeve ac-
cording to ones personal taste, and
this is even moro important - ones
type of figure. The material of the
blouse also counts in the matter.
Chiffon and Georgette crepe sleeves
may be very full, for the line of the
arm shows through; untransparent
sleeves must have more definite shane
illness so that the figure may not an
pear bulky. If the arm is very long
and thin, the tall cuff is most becom-
ing and some of the new cuffs point
up even as lar as the turn of the
elbow. The full bishop sleeve gath
cred into narrow wrstband is be-
coming to some women; on others it
is rather trying.
Collars Both High and Low.
One may hold out more hone of
GOODNESS and comfort where collars
are concerned. There are quite as
many blouses with Vshaped neck
openings as there are models with
high. choker collars. The latter are
perhaps smarter but only the slender
