CHILDREN’S FASHION FOR WOMEN

RIBBON SLEEVE-TIES FOR NEWEST FROCKS Ribbon sleeve-ties, once the prerogative of little girls, have suddenly leapt into favour with the woman who prides herself upon wearing the clothes of to-morrow. Sometimes the sleeve-ties are worn in precisely the same manner as they used to be worn by little girls, as was exampled by a girl in a bronze velvet frock with tiny sleeves which had soft satin ribbons slipped through them, tied with bows on the shoulder. More striking still are some of the adaptations of the style. Particularly noticeable is an advance mode which allies the sleeve-tie with the half-sleeve. Sleeves continue to be of supreme interest to the dressmaker, and an amazing variety of notions are displayed in the new season’s fashions. Among them is the half sleeve, a compromise between sleeves and no sleeves. The half sleeve literally is what it is called —half of a full-length sleeve being set into the under part of the armhole. Sometimes the half- v sleeve is held in position by tiny straps set from edge to edge at intervals, but it is more original to have a regiment of ribbon ties down the upper part of the arm.
