and side accentuated by train. One
clever designer has done some very in
teresting things with her skirts. She
has given an appearance of length by
putting transparent laces and embroid-
cries at the bottom Of the skirt. She
then makes the underskirt several
Inches shorter than the outside, there
by silhouetting the legs. After ac-
complishing this on a lot Of her eve
Ing gowns, she Is using the same treat
ment on lingerie frocks. For the trous-
seau of bride she has made a sheer
lingerie frock of old lace and rare en-
broidery, ivory in tone. The petticoat
Is of pale pink satin with knee-deep
fiounce Of navy blue chiffon. This gives
the desired background at which the
designer Is aiming. The effect Is as
fascinating as 1t is original.
Abbreviated SIeeve-Echo Of 1880.
No wonder the makers of clothes
have ut last turned their attention to
sleeves! No part Of the dress allows
freer play to ones creative fancy.
In 1880 dressmakers went quite mad
over sleeves and cut up all sorts of
insane antics with them. And, since
this Is the period from which the new
short sleeve takes It's inspiration and
marks the difference between this
years frock and last, we may expect
present day modistes to do things
equally as amusing. That there was
method In the madness of these old.
time dressmakers is attested by the
beautiful effects obtained. We see
this in. every old daguerreotype and oil
portrait of that day. What is lovelIer
ed sleeves that belong to period
when women dressed more picturesque
ly than they do now2 ~
There is little doubt that the short
sleeve has come to stay. 1t will re-
main for the summer. at least. There
were few gowns or blouses shown at
openings that did not have short
sleeves, and some of them none. Even
suits have three-quarter length sleeves,
permitting the hands to be carefully
gloved. Martial ct Armand sent us an
afternoon gown Of biege colOred crepe
de chine literally covered with silken
embroidery in the same tone. Very
short is the crepe de chine skirt, but
beneath the hem is set band of law
ender and silver tissue, to fall several
inches below the skirt. This tissue Is
very loosely woven and quite rough In
texture. 1t is very different from the
metal cloth Of other seasons, and COM
bines more pleasingly with plain ma
terials than did Its predecessor. A
| lavender and silver ribbon of the same
curious and artistic weave threads its
way through coarse silk threads, form
ing a narrow belt tying at either side.
This gown has not even a suggestion
of sleeve Of any sort. The shoulder
seam has been permitted to lengthen
itself just very little, possibly per.
haps as bit of apology.
Hats Worn by French Women.
No French woman hesitates to top
her sleeveless and gloveless costume by
a hat.
In the advance guard of summer
clothes are distinctive gowns Of black
satin with cape to match. Very
often satin of another color Is COM
bined with black to make the frock.

: While waiting for q car at
Eleventh and y streets northwest,

Two unidentified negroes, who
snatched her purse containing.
$50 liberty bond and S63.
The young woman DECLARED tnat
the negroes approached her and
asked df she had change for 500.
When she said she had not, one Of

ran down the street.
This is the third case reported in
two days where white women have
been robbed in daylight by negro
men and so far none Of the culprits

police.
