Merchants have imported colored silk

dresses. The designs are the usual

three-fourths of yard wide, and is to be
made up over silk of the same shade.
The price is $5 30 yard. Machine-made
guipure edgings to match in color and
figure are only 35 cents ayard.
A novelty in garniture lace is point de
Bruges, with medallions Of round point
or OF Valenciennes, with leaves and bou-
quets in the centre, and charming
framework OF the trost-like Bruges point
around each. These cost from $l5 10 $50
yard for trimming width OF about three
inches. Duchess point lace is again very
much in favor for trimming evening silks,
for handkerchiefs,g tichus, and all fine
lingerie. 1t costs from "a 70 yard up
ward in garniture widths.
l. Among the made-up laces are Valen-
I'ciennes over dresses, to be worn over

and glistening silk is in French taste, and

the prices of laces vary; siXty-tive yards
of insertion are required, with ninety
yards of narrow euglng, and torty-three
| yards of wide lace.
