Show SLEEVE POCKET FOR THE FAN Innovation Favored by Paris Seems to Presage Return of Such Receptacles Re-ceptacles to Fashion, During the past year the pocket has been slowly and steadily regaining its position in woman's toilettes and even so daring an innovation as a sleeve pocket has now been made possible. This is quite the latest fashion note from Paris, the new form cf pocket being chiefly intended as a receptacle for the tiny fan, which is so much in vogue at present. The pocket is usually inserted in the sleeve just below the elbow, the aperture aper-ture being cleverly concealed with lace or chiffon, so that its presence is not even suspected until the fair wearer suddenly produces a miniature embroidered fan, apparently out of her arm. The fan pocket is to be found on either sleeve of a smart afternoon gown and in some costumes one or other of the cuffs is frequently provided pro-vided with a pocket after the same style. Although originally intended only to hold the fan, as in China, the sleeve pocket has been found so convenient that it is also used to hold a lace handkerchief, and there is no doubt that its dimensions will increase when sleeves assume large proportions. |
