Of Its desirability lies In the fact that

OF fashion.
There Il a heated discussion going
on about the ever-varinble length of
sleeves and skirts. Last year at this
time our skirts in America very near
~ touched the ground and chung about
the feet. Now they have sprung sky
high, and everybody--even those who
swore they could not do It's pleased
as can be over the change. VIII the
short skirt stay with us for another
seasonf French and English society
women predicted that skirts would
lengthen. but, as matter OF fact,
they do not seem TO be one whit long
err All the photographs which are be-
Ing sent from the races show skirts
that well nigh touch the knees by way
OF length, for the French always have
worn them much shorter than ours.
American women, too. have become
used TO the more abbreviated skirt
lengths. and common sense would lead
one to suppose that the skirt would
remain short for the coming season.
However. the only fault In that heavy
reasoning is that common sense does
not always rule the ways OF fnshion.
and for the actual decision one will
have 10 wait until the fall styles have
actually been created and imported.
All that can be said is that skirts are
still short. Not long one has been
seen upon the landscape.
The Sleeve Lengths.
Sleeve lengths are almost as impor-
tant. In fact, Just at this season they
are really more important. for sleeves
have taken on such tendency TO fluc-
tunte that one scarcely knows what IL
right and what Is wrong about them
Anything goes as long as II Is well
done, and whether the long sleeve OF
the short sleeve or the three-quarter
sleeve is the most fashionable Is a

of'the latest Partisan reports tell Of
sleeves which are longer than they
have been, hut then. Partisan sleeves
have always been extremely short
shorter. I'm fact. than most OF ours.
They are showing and wearing sleeves
OF three-quarter length and sleeves
that end below the elbow. having there
q wide and flowing opening.
There are some very chic new
things, too. that show long and tightly
fitting sleeves clnsplng snugly over
the hands. They look beautiful. after
so great quantity OF abbreviation az

the skirts, there is no telling what
VIII ne the wild popularity AFTER the
fall openings have actually been held
and after the winter modes have been
launched. Only. change is due. AMI
Just how Il will come or what form II
will take is hard to foretell exnctly.
Al present any length OF sleeve Is a
good length. and there is ample on.
pOrtunIty to adapt the length and the
shape OF the sleeve to the proportions
OF the individual arm and figure. In
playing with the lengths and the gen.

can be and has been accomplished this
last season. Also much that ls eNecra.
