The name given in jocularity remains in seriousness. The hand thrust from the voluminous wrappings where once was a cuff has the appearance of being thrust through a tambourine. The *tambo” sleeve is universally becoming. For the pretty hand it is a soft and engaging frame. The hand looks loveller by reason of the: chiffon and fur or lace ‘and silk . enveloping it.

This is a bit of ples of the “tambo” sleeve have been pho- tographed for reproduction on this page’ The full-length witchery practiced by several stage favorites under my eye. The “tambo” sleeve fs part of an elaborate toilette. It is made of soft material, as crepe, chiffon or sheerest net. Usually it has trimming at the elbow. but the valiant efforts at decoration are at the wrist. / The “tambo” sleeve must be long or nothing. If a sleeve One of the ‘Cloge-Fitting, Becoming Hats So Popular This Season—the Indian Motif Indicated by the Scarf Trimming ends at the elbow it is not a-tambo. Usually the decoration begins with one wide tuck, or, several tucks, that may be hemstitched. Often it is drawn rather closely to the wrist by shirring.’ The sledve is too wide and full to permit a cuff. It swirls about the hand with three or four times the fulness about the wrist. It is faced with sitk. That is an extremely effective method .of finishing it and of lending a touch of vivid color to the costume. As, for example, a gray velvet robe which was sent from one of my establishments to a well-known social leader, has sleeves of gray chiffon, the ends of the siteves being faced with scarlet silk. |, In some instances the sleéves are very effectively fin- / Ished {nside with long, fuil ruffles of lace. This {s the time when the bits of lace that vou doubted your ability ever to utilize will lend richness to your costume. To define well the figure on the upper part of the page shows the sleeve at its simplest. Like the others, it is what was a decade or so ago excéedingly popular as a “bell” sleeve. It fits closely into the armhole. It is cut scantily, but grows gradually wider from elbow to wrist. This one is finished by the bands of eiderdown sewed at regular intervals_pear the edge. Another example of the sleeve, well adapted to the cos- tume of which it is a part, is made of chiffon. It is the one touch of white, save the silk girdle, which appears in a creation in black and white, blue or green It is set more loosely into the armhole than is the first example shown, and falls in veil-like fulness to the elbow, where it i» em- phasized by a band of fur. The sleeve, less full, continues to the wrist, outlined by bandings of 'white ribbon. The most ‘tambo” like of all the sleeves is the pair re- produced in the central figure. The sleeves are paic of a handsome afternoon costume ot silk, chiffon and fur, The sleeves, like the Gaul of our Caesar, is composed of three parts—net, silk and fur. They are very full, the fulness being distributed evenly between shoulder, elbow and wrist. At the elbow a tuck, outlined inside the sleeve by white ribbon of the same width, breaks the too long expanse. The sleeves flare widely at the wrist. On lesy elaborate gowns, as, for Instance, a smart silk frock used for shopping and morning walks, and covered by a long, loose”cloak, there is a note of the “tambo” sleeve. On this gown of green serge a smart pair of “tambo” sleeves are made in simple fashion. Snug at the armhole, they in- crease'in width to the hand until they reach the knuckles in a wide flare. -\ Copyrigut, 1916, by the Str Compuuy. ureat bt Kixbie Raserses t Ribbon Bandings Decorate the Lower Part of Sleeves “Tambo” Sleeve Is Wider at the Top and Narrower at Hand Than Most Models.
