SLEEVES UNLIKE THE BODICE.
This Is the Latest French Frill to Iteac h New York. Not long ago it was a new frill of fashion to wear a bodice of one color with a skirt of another. The more unlike the better the combination. Now the frill has extended, and not only are bodices and skirts different,
but the bodice itself is made with sleeves which look as though they had been designed for any other bodice than the one to which they are attached. A new model for a dinner bodice illustrates this idea. It is made of white crepe de Chine, cut low and gathered slightly toward the waist line. The large revers, which fold hack from the low-cut neck, are of white moire, outlined with two rows of the fine-t gilt braid. These revers are fastened to the corsage with small gilt buttons. The sleeves consist of a huge puff to the elbow. They are of black silk, striped with gay lines of geranium-pink. Gauntlet cuffs of the white moire, edged gilt braid, make a unique finish to these conspicuous sleeves. A narrow band of geranium-pink velvet outlines the waist of the bodice, and from a rosette at each side two loops of the velvet are caught.
