"No more have arms" is the latest ukase of the Paris fashion dictators, who have made up their minds that, for the time being, only evening frocks are to. be worn without sleeves. This was clearly demonstrated on Sunday, when Longchamp began another pring racing season and gave an opportunity for markable disyflay of the lat novelties, The mannequins' showed that the really chic walking costume is characterized by simple: Hines and elaborate embroidery. A dress which stood out as the most prominent specimen of the new style was in black. With closely fitting: sleeves down to the wrist and frills hanging over the hand, and with its ted skirt, it would have too severe but for tunic of many colours. The music, which was white, was embroidered almost like a tapestry with a floral design in red, gold and purple.
With different colour combina ons, this kind of frock was cerly in the majority, but all, with. fut exception, had long sleeves. The libate were all' of the small cloche type. They were mostly of fine woven straw and of the brightest of hues. The scarlet hat to fashionable two years ago was to be seen fon all sides. Red fy certainly one of the colours most favoured for serves, ribbons and all forms of dress ornament. Many of the straw hats seen at Longchamp were gay with flower trimmings, such ink roses and marigolds, and there were others with long ribbon streamers, some weighted with nes like those on the hat—a pretty. novelty, very becoming when used with discretion but probably destined to be overdone.
