No Two Sleeves Are Alike Lh * Copyright, 1922, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. By Janet Winslow. UNCHING at one of the smartest L of Park Avenue restaurants the other day, and observing fash- jons closely, I noticed that the sleeves were the things that flashed about the greatest amount of change. There is no telling what a sleeve is €0ing to be in this day of fashion. You see the silhouette of the dress which is very simple and plain and incon- spicuous. But if you were asked to tell what the sleeve would be you would guess wrong nine times out of ien, for sleeves are the abiding places of surprises. No two sleeves are alike. If you have preferences and decided tastes then take them out on the sleeves of your gowns, for in that particular all sorts of latitude is allowed. The dresses at this restaurant proved that fact beyond the shadow of any doubt. Every woman leoked at first glance much as her neighbor looked until ' one came to take in the character of her sleeves. There all her character and her income and her color sense and her taste showed themselves in one big swoop. She was wearing her soul on her sleeve, as it were. Short sleeves? Oh, yes, there are short sleeves—and those in daytime dresses, too. They are short and tight and untrimmed very often. At one table there was a sleeve made of patterned handkerchiefs patched together and developed into Mowing sleeve ends. At another fable there were lace Sleeves gilt edged and fastened to a gown of the sombrest sort of black woollen ma- terial. At still] another table there was a pair of tightly fitting sleeves reaching the hand and buttoning loosely about the wrist. Some of the sleeves are very full, made in soft materials and gathcred into tiny bands that tie about the wrists. Then there are other sleeves dhat begin in this general manner and are slit gracefully from the wrist to the shoulder or from the wrist to the elbow. There are other sleeves that are tightly fitted to the elbow, and there a puff begins that is wide and voluminous and that ends in a banded cuff buttoning over the wrist. Some sleeves have armholes that reach the waistline, while others are enugly shaped to fit the arm at the shoulder When there are dresses with no sleeves at all—the sort that have a slaaw@ing Dime from shoulder to waist. And these aleeves are not by aby means confined to evening frocks. They are for daytime dresses as well. In fact, at this resgtavrant, the fact was demonstrated, that, where im- agination entors into the designing of fashions just now, it does so through the door of the sleeve. Nothing is static about this portion of the cos- tume. Everything about it screams originality and a search after good design. _ __.THE EVENING WORLD'S FASHION REVIEW SECTION, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922, “Y"T7 7 renee 1 wo Stunning Hats for Evening Wear Seen in the New York Shops Copyright, 1922, (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. By Emilie Hoffman. AST season there were rumors L that fringe was being ex- cluded from the category of fashionable trimmings, but a look at the newest garments by no For the Home Dressmaker Dear Miss Lodewick: | intend making a dress of in- closed material (brick-redjersey), which will be for business as well as sports wear. | would like your advice as to what to use for trim- ming in the way of collar and cuffs. Had in mind making up several sets, so that | might change them frequently. Could you suggest some suitable colors anc materials? MISS R. B. You could have a set in dull blue linen, also buff color; a medium green color would be pretty in kid, as would also white, which could be bound with black cire. Greenish blue linen, also violet, would be effective. Dear Miss Lodewick: | have some light weight poiret twill for a school dress and would like your advice as to a suitable style. Am me- dium height and weigh 111 pounds, age sixteen. Would like a simple style that could be made at home. D. K. Metal rings tied together with red floss would form & smart belt. Red floss run in squares as suggested would be a quick and effective deco- ration. . Dear Miss Lodewick: 1 have a white crepe de Chine dress, low waisted, made perfect- ly plain, which | am having dyed a brownish gray. Will you ad- vise me how to trim the neck and sleeves, as | have taken off the deep collar and ouffs. Thought something in a soft shade of green would look well. Perhaps you could tel) me just what to put on and how te doit. MISS A. M. Your suggestion of green is good. The modish wide sleave made from 1 straight length, set into the frock with a square base to the arm-holes, would be effective. Dear Miss Lodewick: 1 should like a design for a business dress for spring, to be made of green check- ered _ woollen goods. Have 4 yards of material. Am 32 years of age, well built and a little heavy through J the hips. ey MISS J. H. oO In the design I have sketched your material is to be used on the bias for trimming effect. The edge of the panels on sleeves and skirt are left loose, like a plait. Metal buckles. Dear Miss Lodewick: | have a navy blue beaded georgette dress, the beads hav- ing nearly all come off. It is simply made with sort of bib effect front and back extending to waist line. Crushed satin sash. What do you think of putting in new eleeves of different colored georgette and a new sash? What color would you suggest? Am 16, tall, slender, light brown hair, blue eyes, fair skin. Will the strap pumps be popular this spring? Are champagne color stockings stylish? What are some of the new spring colors? JANET L. Remove all beads, supply a new satin sash of self color and sleeves of Nile green, henna or dull blue Georg- ette. Strap pumps will be in the mode this spring. Champagne stock- ings are still worg to an extent, but black is worn more than it has been for some time. There is quite a vari- ety of colors seen in the smart tweed and homespun suits, violet, dull blue and green vying with the tan. The fuchsia shades are still modish, as well as henna and the bluish greens and green blues 22 4s means verifies this Deep fringe at- tached at the lates the tunic or it may form panels. Some of the smart tweed sports skirts are ravelled at the bottom to form a fringe instead of the usual hem. A novel use of fringe is seen in a dress that has a band of deep ribbon fringe attached at the drop shoulder and caught bund at the wrist, forming a graceful puff sleeve effect low waistline simu- together in a If you have not the time or ability to join the throng of girls who have the handkerchief making habit you can have as many of these pretty, thread-run handkerchiefs as you de- sire, and instead of paying $2.50 for the hand-made article you can get an excellent’ reproductinon in machine work at 60 cents or even less. They come in all those bright colors of linen that girls ‘‘just'love,’’ and have the contrasting threads run through and a delicate corner embroidery that re- quires close serutiny to tell they are really not home-made. The Dutch play aprons, which we have not seen on the counters in sev- eral years, are back again, These are practical aprons for the tiny miss und great dress-savers. They come in tan linens and reps made up with a pocket across the front, to hold the numerous small play necessities. The aprons are trimmed and bound in red and have attractive nursery pictures and rhymes A charming model in the pantie dress, which is so popular for the lit- tle folks, is in dark green with cross- bars of red, It is simply made, the only decoration being the narrow red leather belt. Another one in a yellow and white checked gingham has a belt of black patent leather. Sponge cloth is being featured in many shops. In plain colors a good quality can be had for 98 cents. White with colored stripes or cross-bars is $1.25 a yard. Conspicuous among these are widely spaced cross-bars in red; another in white with purple bars is smart looking.
