Fashion's Fancies

White and tan-colored shoes are in the lead. .Serges are prime favorites for the tailored suits. Handbags of lace are a pretty summer novelty. Linen dresses are prettier this season than ever before. Belts, if worn, most be worn in harmony with the costume. Negligees in both empire and straight effects are shown. Ratine and macrame allover laces are used for peplum blouses. One lingerie dress has a sash edged with narrow Valenciennes lace. In very deep mourning, tiny bands, folds and piping of crepe are used. Frocks of changeable taffeta are trimmed with narrow velvet ribbpn. Street suits of white serge and fine Bedford cord continue to be popular. Macrame, filet and Venetian laces appear as parasol borders and insets. The latest novelty in sRk hosiery bearing .the approval of Paris is stockings embroidered with dots. These may easily be done at home and many who cannot afford to pay the exorbitant price asked for a pair of these pretty stockings may enjoy the luxury of owning several - pairs. Embroider the dots in a triangular shape upon the instep, carefully following the outside line of the triangle which yon have basted on the stocking.
