PARIS FASHION NOTES. (FRÒN QUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, '

ISABEL HAMSAT) ...

PARIN, May lat.

In recent letter.I wrote.of the efforts of desigaers to introduce an individual nota into the modern "chemina" frock, by means of trimming. This week, I shall deal with, the question of sleeves, which "innst surely come under the heading of trimming, seo- ing they are such creations of change and fantasy. Designers seem to have decided that, since Parisienes refuse to wear any other dss but the "clouise" type and it is quite impossible to introduca a fantasy of line into the clinging saplicity of this gument, the only thing belt to do is to add aleaves which shall be a mass of originat lines and curves and transparencies

There is one type of sleeves which r maius more or lees the same and that is the loose, bell-shape variety one seas on the short, fall jackets that are so much worn just now. The finish of this may differ- there may be braid, or embroidery or fur as a trimming, or perhaps nothing at all; it may be slit on the outer or the inner wide; it may bell out into a normal width or he exaggeratedly wido; but, no matter how it is treated, it remalus always the same in type. The majority of coats, also, have this particular type of sleevo..

Then, there is the sleeve which is merely

a scanty continuutios of the material figur ing in the dress and which has been allowed [ to droop over the shoulder and barely

cover it.

For evening war, there are no sheeres at all, a couple of shoulder-straps being all that hold up the corsage. For statish reuple, the corvage that has a Vashaped décolletage and burrows away at the top into two narrow strips that cross the shoulders, is far alore becoming as it lends a tapering line to the figure, where the severe straight line of the other cut- ting across the bust is only possible for the slim.

The sleeveless gown for day wear is rarely seen now, and the transparent sleeves of Georgette or lace, either of the same at in a different clour to the dress, has also outlived ite welcome. The latest idea is to naix tre materials of different clour. Thus, a black crepe Marocain dress will hare sleeves of the same as far as the clbow and tlien finish off in white.Georgette. A white or coloured frock will be treated in "the "same way, and endless changes of interial, and colours may be introduced into the sleeve according to the design or trimming of the frock.

With dresses that are ultra-simple al severe in design, seves fitting in close to the shape of the arm and reaching well down over the hand ars worn. These are either plain or else finished with a row of buttons. When this type of sleeve is worn, the dress invariably has a high collar but- toning tight round the throat

A ter variation of this particular type of sleave is the model which has something" hanging from it a model, by the way on which designers are using up all their spure imagination in these days of straight-line frocks. The variations are as inexhaustible as the imagination of the designera. A model in erepe Maroccais, Rumain, or de Chine will have long, tight-fitting sleares, and, attached to these on the inner side, will be a width of the same material, Joubled and let into the seam of the sterve from within a cuple of inches of the armpit to within the same distance of the cuff end. This width is gathered, and a further change way be introduced by attaching it to the sleeve by means of butions.

Another variation, especially when the frock is in a particularly delicate fabric, is to have a width of lace hanging froni the inner side of the tight-fitting sleeve. This certainly adds a most delicate and charming effect to the plainest-cut of frocks. Such an idea, too, may also be turned to very good account when the harassing question of how to renovate an old dress arises.

For dinner or simple evening frocks a loog strip of piece lace is taken, draped across the shoulders so that the back and arms are quite covered, and then lightly caught just across the shoulders in front.

Another idea is to take a fairly, full sleeve, slit it from the shoulder to the wrist, and thea catch it into a harrow caff. The effect of the bare arm, occasion- ally disappearing into the diaphonous folis of the sleeve is ever so original and effective, and quite easy to carry. "out! If one wishes to carry out this effect with- out percaling quile so much of the arm, the two sides of the alit may be caught together" above and below the elbow.

Another quaint idea is to take a width of lace or some transparent kind of material and add it, slightly gathered, along the suoulder line ofthe corsage and continuing down to the wrist.of each sleeve on the outside so that the bend of the elbow is caught. Still another, is to hang strands or loops of friage from the inner side of the sleeve in place of the Georgette or lace E hare just mentioned. If greater originality even is required, all; that is done is to enesse the arm in a long series of loops of braid and then add the frings falsh. Or, again, one may take strands of braid, set them into the armhole as one would a sleeve, let them follow the line of the arm, and then catch then into a band at the wrist. This produces much the same effect sa the elit alegre, but it is rather inore original

Some evening dresses show no aleere at all on one side, and, on the other, a width of material about two yards long is added en to Kimeone-shaped bodice and this falls down and over the arm, and is gathered into a decorative gland and long tassels at each end, sa

Another idea for evening wear is to take two very long pieces of piose Jace or diaphonous material, drape them from the waist over the shoulders and let them trail out to the hem of the skirt, or beyond it HONGKONG, CHINA & JAPA? | in the form of a train. Bands or diamente stude flash the edges of these sleeve-trains. (Gontinued at foot of next cglumn.).
