of the family. We know now that IN
less we pay special attention to that
portion of our costume we are lost as
far as style is concerned. And we
have realized the fact that beautiful
sleeves can make a gown as no other
detail can.
A trifle of experimentation will show
that the design of ones sleeves can be
carried into the line of the gown in
such a way that the sleeves become
and remain the actual center of at
traction and style And now that we
have the sanction Of Paris for going
ahead with our sleeve achievements,
we should manage to do some ex-
traOrdinarily lovely things during the
coming season. We have spent a sea-
son in experimentation, as it were, and
now, after our months of education,
we are launched upon career OF ae-
tual artistic accomplishment.
The style declaration that there is
no trimming can be accepted and be-
Iieved until we consider the sleeves OF
the day. For all the decoration that
once was spread over a far broader
surface has now been concentrated
within the area of the sleeve. We ind
there not mere suggestion Of trim
ming. but an actual mass of it. The
fact is that often the sleeve is nothing
but trimming, and so greedy is it OF
the place it has come to hold that 1t
succeeds in preventing decoration in
any other place. We find embroidered
sleeves, brocaded sleeves, lattice
worked sleeves, pulled sleeves, plain
sleeves. In fact, there is no end to the
surprises that are sprung upon US at
every turn of fashions way.
Now there are certain questions
about sleeves which might as well be
settled at once. First, sleeves will be
long. They will still be full, though
not quite so extraordinarily so as they
have been. Some of them will be fit
ted. even from the elbow to the wrist
In evening dresses there will still be
only suggestions Of sleeves or indlca
lions that sleeves might be there in
that particular space if the thing had
: so happened For coats and capes
there will be those voluminous crosses
between sleeves and capes which make
the wraps look as spacious and com
Portable as can be.
Some of the Newer Sleeves.
A study of some of the newer
sleeves is a good approach to the fall
costumes, for, as has been said, they
will set the pace. And, if ones foun
dation fashion knowledge has much te
do with sleeves then the path to gen
eraI smartness of attire will be a sim
pie one indeed.
Among three interesting types OF
sleeves one is made of strips of beau
tifuIly brocaded ribbon. The design Ii
Egyptian, and the col0rs are all those
gorgeous dull ones that designate thai
period. The color of the gown is dull
blue and the material is one Of those
soft and pliable silk crepes so fash
icnabIe just now. Then the ribbon
with its dark yellow, green, red and
golden tones is applied in long bands
on the sleeves ending at the elbow
and the sleeve is faced with dull rec
silk to match that coaoring In thu
woven ribbon.
There are any number of ways o.
using ribbons in these newer and more
elaborate sleeves. They fairly blossom
forth In this particular. for all the tn
