It 1b long, of course, for all Paris is wearing long sleeves with the same eclat with which they adopted the short ones in the winter, and is tight from the elbow to the wrist. It fUs comfortably into the armhole udder the arm, but the upper portion runs right up over the shoulder to the collar. This affords an excellent opportunity to use a long length of lase, from three to four Inches in width. The effect is very much like that of the popular raglan slfeeve. The undersleeve may be of tucked net, chiffon or ninon. The long lines of lace from collar to waist lend the kimono effect without any of the looseness of the kinomo sleeve under the arm. This sleeve is generally buttoned from the wrist to the elbow with tiny 'lace or silk buttons, for the glovelike snugness of the sleeve demands an opening. The ruffle at the wrist is often extended to the elbow, sometimes on the outer seam, again on the inner. To have a ruffle dainty, however, it must be fresh, and unless this can be accomplished it Is advisable to omit It
