LACE ON EVERYTHING

NEVER WAS THERE SUCH A PROFUSION AS THIB BEASON. r ——- : ~ - _ '", _ _ 7 y - : Almost Every Article of Feminine Raiment Carries This Adornment —Used for the Most Part With Much Cleverness. If one were to start upon a shopping tour with the determination to bity gowns or wraps or millinery in which no lace appeared she would be likely to return weary and empty handed to her home, for laces are everywhere. The most unpretentious of little silk or wool gowns are designed with the lace collar and cuffs presupposed and even on the least expensive models these are supplied in cheap but effective laces. There never was a time when good-looking gowns and wraps cost so little. Besides the collar and cuffs of lace, pretty frills of it, laid in fine plaits, full over the hands and one occasionally sees a falling frill about the neck. Lace blouse, lace coats and coatee effects, lace fichus and overdresses are in great demand, to be worn with silk or other gowns. These are all separate garments which, like the collar and cuffs, may be adjusted with any costume. Nothing is smarter than the small coats of heavy lace made to be worn with silk or satin skirts or one-piece dresses. They are very beautiful worn with linen dresses also, and certain laces, as for Instance Irish crochet, seem especially adapted to linen. But it is in the body of the gown itself, where laces are made to play a part in the construction and shaping of the design, that they are used with

consummate cleverness. There are marvels of management in graceful lines and effective contrast in those models in which jace is incorporated into the gown. One may find three and sometimes even four varieties of lace in one model, each seeming the best for Its place. '

SLEEVES WILL BE FULLER

Everything Indicates a Speedy Return to the Lines In Favor a Few Beasons Ago. • V There to a tendency, slight at present, but likely to assert itself and be accentuated as the season wears on. towards sleeves fuller below the elbow. Perhaps the large cuffs are partly to blame for this, for one must need have sleeves to fill them out. But it to difficult to place the latest sleeves in any one period since many individual mpdels combine points of fashion from two or even more periods. There Is one sleeve, however, which has not been copied or adapted and that to the “leg-of-mutton,” for one thing at least is certain —the fashionable shoulder must slope unimpeded by gather or tuck into the arm, in a pure outline to form. Thus the fashions are easily and quite naturally slipping from one extreme to another, from the very scant frocks devoid of trimming to more volnminous styles in which the trimming to the feature.

Baby’s Afghan.

A pretty summer afghan for the baby's carriage to made of strips of handkerchief linen held together with inch and a half wide cluny lace, which also edges the cover, says the Philadelphia Times. This to lined with pink or blue silk, and ornamented on the outside with a large satin bow. This makes a dainty protection, and Is not beating.

HOME DRESS

Our model has a hlgh-walsted skirt made with panel front and back; It is joined to the bodice, which fastens diagonally in front; buttons form trimming. The cut of the bodice is Magyar, with one wide tuck on shoulder.

All the summer dresses have chlmtoettes or gulmps of lace. Models made of voile or marquisette, or any of the sheer summer fabrics employ the Jace trimmed fichu and frills of lace at the sleeves and neck. Heavier laces are used on silk dresses and on the long wraps of satin which are so useful and so graceful. , It is the same story of high favor if one explores the millinery field to find out what milady of fashion most admires. With the advance of summer and the donning of lingerie gowns we may expect to see the vogue Increase in the matter of lace hats. And it is not likely that laces will pass out with the summer, for some of the newest ones are superb when combined with velvet, whose vogue is just 'well started. So we may expect to see them in the models for fall. In fact the bodice of lace or net or chiffon is more beautiful than any made of heavier fabrics and far more supple and becoming. It to the day of laces and only the morning of that day.

Fashion's Fancies

A soft cerise satin sash to often a smart touch. The latest Paris' blouses are buttoned at the back. Fluffy white net is used for girlish evening gowns. Black and white Chantilly laces are strong In favor. The sleeves of the newest blouses are set with beading. The narrow niching is another finishing note of the season. Many of the smartest afternoon frocks have girdles and sashes of velvet and satin. Belts of patent leather, soft morocco and suede are all modish. They are rather narrow. Another smart combination of silk and lingerie is found in the short tunlo style, where the tunic to. of taffeta, richly emrboidered or lac# trimmed. With all light suits, white topped and taupe "lopped shoes are the more fashionable. They are worn together with bright colored silk stockings.

Mull Scarfs.

Inexpensive, yet pretty, for summer evening use are shaped scarfs made from squares of colored silk mull, says the New York Times. Hem the edges and up each side of the front in aa inch and a half wide hem, and above R put an inch-wide strip of Valenciennes or imitation Cluny insertioa,Use white silk-tassels or knotted ends of ribbon finished in small ribbon flowers. *

Tho parson Bald meekly one day: “‘My love, you told me before the wedding that you knew our marriage was made in heaven, yet you now order me about as if I were a slave.' “‘Order,’ the woman calmly answered, ‘is heaven’s first law.’"
