OLD SLEEVES COME BACK

Early Victorian Sleeves, Showing Leg o' Mutton Style, Are Worn i In. Paris. In Paris they are wearing many early Victorian sleeves which show the leg o’ mutton style. As they are almost always expressed In flimsy materials, the “gigot” effect Is not prominent, and the folds of muslin or laee fall away from the arms In a peculiarly becoming fashion. These loose sleeves are always threequarter length, and they are duced on dresses and picturesque coatees alike. Another fashionable sleeve —also a revival —is of moyenage persuasion, absolutely tight from elbow to wrist, and finished with a becoming petal cuff which almost hides the hand. These sleeves should be fastened with very small pressure buttons or tiny hooks and eyes on the under seam,* in no other way can they be made to preserve their skin-tight outline.
