SLEEVES FOR EVENING GOWNS. A hot dispute concerning tihe correct length of sleeves has recently been raging in modietic circles, some drcis&makers pronouncing strongly in favour of the transparent full-length mancho of some filmy material, others going to the other extreme, and declaring that nothing but the merest suspicion of sleeve at the shoulder was necessary. However, Dame Fadhion seems to have finally decided the vexed question; at any ra.te, as far as the sleeves of full-dress evening toilettes a.re concerned, by ruling that the correct manohe must reach practically to the elbow, and should be of delicate transparent material. Some of these sleeves are charmingly pretty, the folds of tulle illusion, chiffon, or tinsel gauze being draped round the arm in the most cunning and bewitching of folds, so as to display to tho best possible advantage the modelling off a beautiful, well-rounded arm. In mamy cases the sleeve fabric i9 powdered all over with weo crystal dewdrops, tiny paillettes of gold, filver, or mothe r-o'-p earl, or minute pearls, with very pretty effect. Apropos of this subject, I must te-ll you that many of the leading French dress- makers are carrying out nearly all their even- ing sleeves in the very finest tulle of the palest flesh colour, so near to the real flesih tint as to be scarcely preceptible against the arm.
