New York, Feb. 22.-Interesting
sleeves were one feature observed
at the smart hotels this week.
Around tea time, when chic street
costumes gave way to crepe after
noon gowns, the sleeves changed
from the bell-like models of tall
ored effects to the long, loose, flow
ing lines of more formal frocks. A
gown of brick crepe marocain had
sleeves of black chiffon which
started off widely and CALAMITY
from the shoulder, faltered at the
elbow where they were caught by
one corner on an embroidered
brick and black band, and pro-
ceeded timorously to the wrist
where they hung by single thread
to a brick cuff embroidered in black
and gold. Another crepe costume
of petunia and ivory had sleeves
split from shoulder to cuff, the gap
bridged here and there with an
ivory and silver buckle matching
the ivory and silver girdle. 4 gown
of periwinkle georgette had cape
sleeves of chantillL lace dyed in the
periwinkle shade, one end of the
cape fastened to the back of each
cuff.
London, Feb. 22.-It was the
lowly forget-me-not which fur
nished inspiration for one of the
most charming gowns worn at the
Savoy this season. The dancing
frock was of forget-me-not tulle-
for tulle has become quite as fash
ionable as eorgette-and the neck
was square without being extreme
ly low. The gown had a rather
plain, snug bodice. Its sleeves ended
just above the elbow in a mere
picoted edge and narrow band of
tiny satin forget-me-nots edged the
square neck 1t was upon the skirt
that the gown depended chiefly for
ornamental effect. A very full skirt
of tulle was gathered into a very
low waistline and hung in soft folds
above a petticoat of bronze lace.
Around the waistline was one of
those life belt" padded girdles
made of forget-me-nots. The same
flower appeared in little knots here
and there upon the skirt
New York, Feb. 22.-The bizarre
bindings on the newer undertakings
for spring are a smart feature.
White dimity lingerie, plaided in
periwinkle, coral, and primrose
stripes, is likely to have a piping
of black and white in some bold
pattern. Brilliant bingham forms
the edging for other sets of silk
undertakings in shades ranging from
nactn1 fn ENilnf Ir;r
lace are extensively used on CANT
soles and envelopes of radium silk
and crepe black satin. Printed
georgette makes a gay binding for
other sets in dandelion, coral, peri
Wrinkle and bonfire silk. There are
exquisite bits of trousseau lingerie
in white or ivory satin brocaded
crepe. The rich material is COM
bined sparingly with lace. Some OF
the latest have tiny hip pockets,
which is either a prohibition or a
thrift reaction
Miami, Fla, Feb. 22.-Eyening
wraps srow more and more strik-
ing, till it's an unusual gown indeed
which is not outdone by its cloak.
Lengths of exquisite black chaptilly
lace formed the upper part of an
evening wrap here recently. The
lace fell almost to the knee. the
garment ending in dep border of
heavy black tulle- Spanish shawls
and canton shawls have been COP
led for a popular type of cloak.
These are often in white, with
double rows of deep silk fringe.
They are embroidered with ex-
tremely large flowers in many
bright colors. An unusual wrap
worn by young girl over her frock
of pale orchid was composed wholly
of two inch blue taffeta ribbons.
held at neck, hips, and hem by wide
bands OF gold satin decorated with
crystal beads.
