PARIS. February 4.

TINE eternal variety of sleeves is
still the most popular source OF
novelty. Somebody recently ask
L ed Nine. Helen Hubert what was
being worn in Paris. The in
quirer was a. lady only recently returned
from some remote colony, who had not
seen Paris for many months.
The couturiere replied: mo matter
what. for everything is fashionable pro-
vided your sleeves are different from
everybody else's," and there is the key
note Of the new styles. Every smartly
dressed woman you see appears to have
got her costume together with the pre-
dominating thought, Nobody will have
sleeves the same as mine"
Several dresses with very different
sleeves have been seen this last week,
that is, the right sleeve Is not like the
left one, while Lady Diane Bennett wore
into the Palais de Ia Mediterrannee at
Niece q satin dress with short feather
sleeves.
At Maggy Rouff's, where the day COL
ors featured are black, white, straw and
chestnut, and the evening ones pale
blue, pale pink, white and brown, the
sleeves give the impression of having
received all the designers attention,
these being the only features Of the
III SccCo tlidb WClC Enthusiastically llCW.
These are often ruffled the whole length,
with fat pleatings on the shoulders
which open out in what Nine Rouff
calls "pagoda fashion" caught up again
at the elbow. Tight sleeves under
midarm-length cape are favored for the
quite Partisan semi-dressy afternoon
frock.
CKIRT fullness Is achieved through
~ gathering panels on the side at front.
There are light -colored bodices, as well
as fancy materials with horizontal
stripes. draped in front, tied high up at
the neckline
Three rows of fat fur make a rich
trimming for afternoon capes, displayed
in this varied collection, where all
tastes and ages have been considered,
and there are some three-quarter coats
edged with fox.
Streams of ribbons trim the backs of
evening gowns having oblique decollete
in front. Draped capes are worn with
these in the same material. Gray
monkey, blue fox and astrakhan are
Maggy Rouff's chosen furs.
Ribbed fabrics are having great sue
cess. One sees them all over Paris.
Velvets and woolens are popular, both
for becoming tailored costumes and
comfortable coats. MaroOns and browns
are the favored shades Of the moment,
also blue-gray, ruby, Bordeaux, violet
and violine, green-gage plum, moss
green, dark green, dark blues and, Of
course, black.
In the evening mode there is a
marked return to the cape, both in fur
and velvet together, fur and lame to-
gether, as well as in solid fur They
cross In fichu effect, drape gracefully
or fall straight. all their versatilities
being fully exploited in an endless
cape-variety. The aforementioned en-

her after her own fashion.

The fiat furs, like astrakhan, caracul,
breitschwantz and shaved lamb, have
been so perfectly initiated in fabrics
that unfamiliar eyes cannot perceive the
difference. One courturiere said that if
she saw the difference it was because
