The real audacity with which
the mode launches the new
styles and the unusual and
startling the newest conceits of
fashion will win the feminine
heart. For what lady ia there
who does not secretly yearn to
be above the commonplace and
wear the unusual and extraor-
binary, provided it has beauty
to accompany its daring?
One Of these whims Is that clever
arrangement by which one sleeve
gracefully falls over one arm and
the other arm boasts Of no sleeve
at all. This style. which confines
itself to soft fabric such an chiffon
and lace, is only noticeable, of
course, in formal afternoon and
evening gowns and is never seen
on the street.
Washington's younger set have
taken up this novelty with vim
j.
and at smart gathering places
quite . number are seen. On a
diaphanous chiffon evening gown

only sleeve hung in loose trans
parent folds, barring the arm from

but 1t was minus. Such Is the way
Of Fashion.
THE sleeves of today recall pic
lures and stories OF medieval
days when knights were bold and
fair ladies' had very young attend
ants hold their trains and draper
les when they were presented at
court. Sleeves today are becoming
no long that who can tell; perhaps
this olden custom will be revived
and Washington at its gay ban
quets will witness noble ladies' par
taking of their soup with a small
attendant at each side In dignified
posture holding UP the trailing
sleeves.
SLEEVES have become SO large
in proportion that they form
draperies on the skirt. hanging
down on the sides and lending
graceful lines to the gown.
Embroidery, too. still reigns and
serves to make many a sleeve at,
tractive. On a lovely Castor crepe
dc chine gown at Jellefrs, q gor-
xeous Persian design is wrought
in eastern colors on the extremely
wide sleeves and bodice. The
sleeves are edged with chiffon
bands in the same beautiful colors
and q steel girdle encircles the
waist, ending in long coral and
green beads.

Hughes Denies
Alleged Pact
With Britain,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Mar. 21.-
Presentation in the Senate today of a
letter from Secretary Hughes, deny
ing that any secret agreement exists
for future British-Ameriean co-opera-
ton, led today To another effort by op-
ponents of the four-power treaty to
send it back TO committee. The effort
brought on a warm debate.
The Secretary's letter, characteriz-
ing suggestions of such an agreement
as absolutely false" was laid before
the Senate by Senator Lodge, Senate
Republican leader and a member of
the Arms Conference. who at the
same time put into the records tele-
gram from Paul z. Cravath, the New
York attorney, denying the accuracy
of a statement on this subject at
tributed to him by Senator Borah.
Reiterating a denial made in a for
mer communication thai any secret
agreement existed between America
and Great Britain in connection with
the Arms Conference. Secretary
Hughes stated that he hoped to see no
further aspers.ons upon the veracity
and honor of the American delegates" :"
The American Government entered
into no understanding or agreements
during the Arms Conference that were
not embodied in treaty form and made
public, it was stated today al the
White House in connection with

Great Britain relative to action on the
