SLEEVES STILL DEVELOPING.

Those Now In Style Are Copied from Every Period. Sleeves present most surprising phases of development, and are copied from every period, quite regardless of that to which the gown itself belongs. The Henri 11. model is nicely adapted for combinations of two materials, one of which is slash-ed-to show puffings of the other and contrasting color. Now, 1840 sleeves are sometimes shirred down at the shoulder, to give the desired flare at the elbow, which is decidedly more novel than the puffing out at the

shoulder. All kinds of draped sleeves arejised, which give great possibilities in the remaking of gowns. One shows a frill falling from the shoulder over a puff that finishes at the elbow. Another has a drapery with a deep flounce falling over the elbow. Three full ruffles sewed around an old sleeve above the elbow modernize it very prettily, and two puffs with an elbow ruffle also furbish up an old sleeve with fashionable grace. All this draping and ruffing may be done with materials quite dissimilar to the original sleeve, and a little touch of black satin in almost any dress combination gives a style quite new and Parisian to the gown.
