Gloves With Sleeveless
BY ANNE RITrENHoUsE.


Sleevelessness has never taken so
ion with Americans as with French
women. Perhaps our arms have
something to do with 1T.
Admiring foreigners say nice things
to us about our figures, our colortng,
our hair and the way we arrange II,
our hands. our ankles. our feet-but
did you ever hear them pay compli-
mentS to our arms?
Perhaps they debut 1t isn't usual
because American women simply
haven't such shapely arms as most
Europeans. 1t may be overindulgence
in athletics, it may be that our gen
eral nervousness keeps us from de-
veloping gracefully rounded arms.
At any rate. American women don't
usually have beautiful arms and they
know it. And there is no very. good
reason in showing ugly arms when
you don't have to, even when sleeve
fessness is part of the prevailing fash
ion.
But if you are one of the exceptions
then go to it. Wear your sleeveless
Qpdices and wear them with sleeve
less Jackets. for the fashion may pass
and not return for many seasons.

gone when perfectly bare arms did

ness was as much admired and as
usual as it is today, but it was rare
before that. The most daring beauty
at Versailles would have lacked cour-
age to appear showing anything of
her arm above the elbow.
With the sleeveless frock the
French woman delights in wearing
bracelets. sometimes two or three be-
Now the elbow and one above. Very
seldom does she wear long gloves;
and at last the American woman is
wearing short gloves with her sleeve
less frock without feeling a species
Of embarrassment
The gauntlet is still frequently
worn by the sleeveless, but there is
new trick of wearing a very short
glove that ends where the hand joins
the wrist. Often the end of this glove
is covered with Il bracelet-and this
of course is by way of contrast to
the gauntlet.
An extraordinary little sleeveless
jacket of plated beige crepe is shown
in the sketch-worn over a beige
crepe frock embroidered in front.
Brown ribbon ties the Jacket, at the
front.
