Fashion Ne1Us
Notes by Wire
| to The Argus

London, Sept. 80. - There are
three modes in sleeves today. A
|frock may have no sleeves at all, it
may be provided with sleeves that
ARE long and snug or it may flaunt
bizarre draperies from shoulder to
waist which Go not pretend to
touch the arm at any other points.
One gown of black crepe marocain
has narrow girdle of cerise silk
braid. The sleeves were merely
lengths of this braid hanging loose
ly behind the arm and attached to
wrist and shoulder.
Paris, Sept. 30-Nothing so bulky
as a bag OF sachet Is permitted to-
day to mar the outline of lingerie
even when safely packed away in
drawer or chest. The latest idea
in sachets is handful of imitation
rose petals. Delicately scented with
rose. these large pink petals are
made of a paper at once stiff and
absorbent, SO that they retain their
perfume indefinitely. They are
easily slid in among layers of pack
ed lingerie and are highly decora-
tive as well as useful.
New York, Sept. 30-With undi-
minished vigor the vogue for gold
and silver glints on gowns of all
sorts is continuing. Many of the
formal evening gowns and dinner
dresses seen today do not confine
themselves to glints, rather they
are trailing marvels of gold and
silver cloth or of velvet brocaded
in metallic threads. One of the
prettiest effects, however, is OBJ
tanned by picoted edgings of gold
silver or bronze on a gown of airy
chiffon.
