LACES OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS

Color Has Wisely Been Left Largely to the Taste of the Individual. A compromise can be made with a narrow niching placed above a flat turn-over collar and the effect 1b good, but it is the wide double ruching that frequent ugliness lies. Fortunately, it is quite as fashionable to wear a loose lace frill that half away from the neck and is caught above the bust with a flicker of ribbon. There is an admirable way of opening the blouse in front, running it to a deep point, outlining it with two inches of lace that falls backward over a ribbon of black taffeta or colored velvet; and in the open space left there is a flat band of lace crossed well up toward the neck and drawn softly down under tbe blouse. This Ik a good scheme for any woman whose chest is thin and who does not wish to go in tbe street with much of he* neck exposed. It is a good Idea to remember that a flat collar at the back of the neck is often better than a high one unless it is tight-fitting. One can adopt many different kinds of frills and ribbons and laces at the neck if they will only remember to keep the back and the exact shoulder line flattened by a turnover collar of thin white fabric.
