A STRIKING new note of the earl; Winter 'modes Is the
presence of the so-called "tambo" sleeves. 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
tambourine.
The tambo" sleeve Is universally becoming. For the
pretty hand It Is a soft and engaging frame. The hand looks
lovelier by reason of the- chiffon and fur or lace and silk
, enveloping It. On the other hand, upon the plain or ageing
hand the "tamfco" sleeve bestows a charm that a veil does
to a plain face. The "tambo" sleeve has the further advan
tage of being a retreat in which the hand may hide Itself
when It Js for any reason so disposed. This Is a bit of
witchery practiced by several stage favorites under mjLeye.
The "tambo" sleeve fa part of an elaborate toilette. It
Is made of soft material, as crepe, chiffon or sheerest net
Usually it ha trimming at the elbnw. but the valiant efforts
at decoration are at the wrist
The "tambo" sleeve must be long or nothing. If a sleeve
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 sleeve la too wide and full to permit a
cuff. It swirls about the hand with three or fonr times the
fulness about the wrist. It Is faced with silk. 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 sleeves being faced with scarlet silk. ,
In some instances the sleeves are very effectively fin
ished Inside with long, full ruffles of lace. This Is the time
when the bits of lace that you doubted your ability ever to
atillse will lend richnesj to jour costume. To define well the
'tambo" alee
and to be in ac
cord with the
ruling motif In
''decoration this
season one
should have a
band of' fur
about the out
side edge of the
sleeve.

The full-length
One of the Close-Fitting, Becoming Hats So Popular Thia
Season the Indian Motif Indicated by the Scarf Trimming
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 exceedingly popular as a "bell" aleeve. It fits closely
into the armh'ole. 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 near the edge.
Another example of the sleeve, well adapted to the cos
tume of which It la a pan, Is made of chiffon. It Is the one
touch of white, save the auk girdle, which appears is a
creation In black and white, blue or green It is Bet more
loosely Into the armhole than Is the first example shown,
and falls In veil-like fulness to the elbow, where It lw em
phasised by a band of fur. The sleeve, less full, continues
to the wrist, outlined by bandings of while ribbon.
The most 'tambo" like of all the sleeves Is the pair re-
V
produced In the central figure. The sleeves are pari of a
handsome afternoon costume of silk, chiffon and, fur. The
sleeves, like the Oaul 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 less- elaborate gowns, as, for Instance, a smart silk
frock used for shopping and morning walks, and covered by
a long, looee'cloak, there Is a note of the "tambo" sleeve.
On this gown of green serge a smart pair of "Umbo" 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.
