LACE ON FROCKS AND HATS

Soft Colored Decorations One of the Season's Favorites; Chiffon Draperies Not Hemmed. A really lovely summer hat of lavender organdie which could be successfully worn with any- sort of dress ,has row after row of narrow Valenciennes lace placed around crown and along the brim and tinted of the exact shade as the organdie which makes the hat. The lace is put on with sufficient fullness to make it frilly and therefore to produce a very soft, puffed effect. We shall see many of these tinted, lace-trimmed frocks and hats as summer advances; therefore, if one likes to be a bit ahead of the procession, by all means procure the softcolored laces now. Undeniably this is a lace season anyway. The beautiful Margot laces are combined with georgettes delightfully. This lace is very fine and rich, and comes In various widths from narrow bandings to Bouncings wide enough for skirts. A lavender chiffon frock which has been greatly admired has panels of this creamy lace placed at both sides of the back, and the sleeves reveal it falling from the elbow to the hem of the skirt in a w deep loop. The front of the waist is-a jacket effect made by oladng the lace over the chiffon and

letting the bottom edge appear below the soft satin sash in the front. The back of the waist repeats the lace also, and the two side panels of the lace join the waist line under the sash at the back. One does not hem the chiffon draperies this summer, as the selvage is esteemed as a trimming.
