Feature Sleeves

Paris, -R)-Sleeyes have returned

ing feature Of the new Spring mode.
The day of the bare arm appears
doomed this season.
The disappearance Of the bare

arbiters of fashion, said one of the
leading couturiers Of Paris, but to
the wearers themselves.

season." he said. 1.-THE women come
and see our dresses and all choose
the same fifteen or twenty costumes
which smart women, following some
mysterious command, pick out, make
up the New Fashion. 1t seems that
elaborate sleeves are the leading
Innovation of tn spring mode. al
though during the warmer summer
days this tendency may subside and
leave the supremacy to the short
sleeve, although the sleeveless frocll
would be worn only for dinner and
evening affairs.
