Seen on lift
By LOUISE

Short sleeves on frocks going South
are an innovation that calls for more
than casual attention. Some are
merely caps on frocks designed OF
sheer fabric. while often those OF
evening gowns are dainty puffs. The
daytime dresses are frequently seen
with sleeves reaching Just TO the
elbow. Sometimes these latter are
finished with tailored cuffs, while
others prefer . tiny friu OF narrow
lace.
Plenty OF fish in the sea Is not
the only reason to take out rod and

~overalls for such a salty spree. They
might have been patterned from a
