rounded and fair but the upper arm may be freckled from past summers on the beach. (Some of these sand freckles never come out.) Or the arm may be well shaped but have a red and ugly elbow. Or the whole arm may be too fat, or too thin. or too muscular and hard in outline for beauty. The slenderness of a thin youthful arm is beautiful; artists love the long, tapering line. But thinness is rarely beauty feature in an arm whose possessor is over thirty. Then the wristbone is too prominent, the elbow too sharp and the hand Is like ly to be knobby and stringy. The woman over thirty who has an arm not too thin. has almost always one too fat.
 So only youth will be able to wear most of the alluring sleeve styles this season, after all, and most of the rest of us will have to abide by the good old three-quarter, or just-below- the-elbow length which is after all wise choice since both of these lengths are becoming to most arms.
 Cuffs And Rufies Add Becomingness
 The very plain, above-the elbow sleeve is the most trying kind. Two sleeves of the sort are pictured One frock Is of black chiffon taffeta, puffed over the hips and with the new basque bodice. quite flat and youthful and buttoned at the back. The sleeves are set into armholes and are tight and quite short. They look we'll with the long. wrinkled gloves, but they are rather trying sleeves unless an elbow is very raund and white. The other frock is oc pale gray silk crepe and the sleeves are cut kimono fash ion-in one with the waist. These sleeves, too. demand very lovely arm and elbow but they are charming if the arm is pretty enough to stand the style.
 Excellent sleeves for the average woman are those on the frock of navy and white foulard: indeed the whole costume is commendable for it's conservative good style and it's quality of wearableness. The bodice. gath cred into a low-placed belt is grace fully full and the skirt. draped mod ishly at the hips and gathered in a little at the hem, is smart yet digni- fled. No woman can make a mistake about adopting this model for sum- mer wear. The sleeves, set into arm holes come below the elbow and have graceful, sloping line at the edge
 with pointed. turned back cuffs. A very pretty detail of this frock Is the deep collar of hand embroidered | linen.
 The very prettiest way to trim an
 elbow sleeve is with pleated rufles. | On frock of silk the pleatings may turn upward, like cuffs on a frock of organdy or dotted swiss narrow | dropping ruff1es are charming. Some times there are two ruffles. one at the l edge of the sleeve and another an | inch higher on the sleeve. The soft
 line of the little frill is most becom-
 ing to most arms and there Is
 demureness and feminine charm

PuGs Have Their Brief Day

One is sure that elbow sleeves will last a season or two at least-their comfort and becomingness assure that. But puffs never endure long;
 they are too trying to the average wearer Just now. however, puffs are quite the rage and many of the new frocks have sleeves puffed between shoulder and elbow. There is one thing about a puff; 1t can always be ripped off when one has tired of it, and some other trimming substituted. A frock for young girl, pictured is rather quaint with puffs finishing the short sleeves. and puffs at the sides of the skirt carry out the style. A smart feature of this costume is the flat panel running down the front of the skirt with bouffant drapery massed at the sides. This is an idea much fancied at the moment. Some times flounces or ruffies run around the skirt at sides and back. the straight panel remaining at the front.

FASHION ADOPTS GOVERNMENT
 CARTRIDGE SILK

HARTRIDGE silk is an entirely " new fabric-to fashion. This ma ~ terial has heretofore been manu-
 factured solely for Government purposes-for war purposes. Yards and yards of this excellent silk have been offered te fashion. now that the war is over and the great supply of cartridge silk on hand is of no use to the Government; and fashion has found how really stunning cartridge silk is-when made up into tailored suits riding habits and the like. It is a very strong silk and its durability makes it most economical fabric to buy It will not become shiny or crack as some silks do and it has a soft, dull surface that is very rich.

Common Sense In Heels

- HE campaign of the Y. w. c. A. against French heels has done
 something-if it has not quite - banished the French heel from woman's wardrobe. The shoe dealers laughed when this hygienic campaign was started. They prophesied that women would never take to "sensible' heels. But women have! And they have found how much more easily less tired they are after hours of shopping, how much less frequent are backaches and headaches than in the days when almot every shoe had a tall heel.
 French heels, however. retain their place-their proper place-on danc- ing slippers and on formal footwear.

 Shape is as. interesting feature as color. in the new parasols. There are many odd and unsual shapes this year and the Oriental suggestion is strong in most of them. The slightly fiat tened top with ribs curving downward toward the end is an instance of this leaning toward Oriental effects and the Oriental shape combined with vivid. color increases the impression of the Far East. There are few high, peaked shapes-or bell shapes as they have been called in past years-but the rather flat top with curved ribs is more fashionable now.

E you did not know 1t by any
 other sign, you would guess that
 short sleeves were again in fashion U by the evidence at the neckwear counter-little half-sleeves of net or sheer fabric intended for basting in short sleeves when one desires to wear frock outdoors without going to the expense of long gloves. These little half-sleeves always follow in the wake of short sleeved frocks. There was no requirement for them while sleeves came to the wrist and so they disap- lpeared--and one had forgotten all about them. But now they are back, prominently exhibited in neckwear departments; proof positive that the era of short sleeves is established.
 The trouble is, fashion is so incon- 'sistent. When long sleeves are the mode, even our gingham morning dresses must have long, tight. uncom- fortab1e sleeves. When the pendulum swings the other way. off come all our sleeves at the elbow or thereabout and even the tailored frock of serge is made ridiculous by abbreviated sleeves that do not suit it's style at all. It is safe and sane woman who sails straight course through the eddies of fashion and manages to dress smartly and distinctively with out veering her craft in every cur rent.
 Any Length Sleeve Will Do
 If you fancy the style you can wear sleeves that are mere shoulder puffs. One of the illustrations shows sleeves G a whose puffs and frills accord with the gay little sleeves. Or you can, if you choose. wear sleeves to the wrist. Some of the most famous dressmakers in the world. those authoritative couturiers in Paris. who annually establish styles. endorse the long sleeve. Jenny makes costumes with short sleeves and with long sleeves. Some of the smartest Cheruit frocks of the season have sleeves to the wrist. But the average woman. of course, is going to wear short sleeves this summer. For one thing, woman is tired of long, tight sleeves; and for another thing short sleeves are the proper and comfortable sort of sleeves to wear in summer time. Femininity has been waiting and longing for return Of the style and now that 1t is here femininity is going to make the most of it. Who knows when fashion may whisk around again and decree long, sleeves?
 Let Tho Arms Decide
 The wise and sensible thing. nat urally is to let ones arms decide the question. Here is an opportunity at fD,. loo net of themselves; and who can blame the possessor of pretty arms for hay ing every frock. blouse. tailored suit and wrap, this summer. built with sleeves that leave her arms uncov- cred?
