Those who like to talk of their grandmother's Easter gowns will no doubt sing much to dote upon in the really arty tic French dress here depicted. Those sleeves were surely grandmothers. They are really early Victorian in their origin and, with their shirred tape and full balloon like lower portions, constitute a wide variation from garments of last year. The Marie Louise shoulder cape, the marine and velvet ribbon guimpe and the insertions of black net and lace combine to give a rich and tasteful effect as well as a unique and artistic form not often expressed even in this season of oddity.
