THINNING LACE.
Laces and nets are freely used as dra-
peries for summer dresses. The striped
nets are favored and large polka dots
have many admirers and make very styl-
ish gowns. A very pretty striped lace,
showing small figures over the net, alter
mates with silk stripe, and another et-
feet is q silk open work stripe which al
ternates with stripe Of Chentilly in roses
and buds. The large polks dots come in
white, black, Gobelin blues of various
tints, graYs and msuve. Another fash
ionable net shows 8 star and bar pattern
which is very pretty in beige, and q small
black pattern in net comes in all the
grays, beige and blue shades. Another
effect has the lace partly covered with
narrow satin stripes, over which are run
ming vines and roses.
One Of the new ways Of trimming with
lace, and which imparts a distinctively
different effect from those which have
preceded 1t, Is to use 1t in the piece, in
stead Of as an edge or border. Take
cream, festoon it over the front, up high
on one side, and drspe single width
into pointed panel for the other, the
ful!ness forming the point shove the
plating Of silk which edges the skirt, and
uniting with or concealing the side Of the
straight folds which form the back Ct the
skirt. Bows Of MORE ribbon ere used
for ornamentstioD, and are repeated upon
the shoulder and the front Of the bodice,
which is drsped with the lace as flchu.
Black point d. esprit should be used upon
black, ivory upon cream white, ecru, pale
blue, Nile green, heliotrope, or soft
shades of yellow.

house bodices laced up the back, with

correspond.
A new wrinkle In the new full empire
skirts Is to alternate three inches of gath
ers with four perfectly plain sill around
the belt.
With the empire gowns, the old-fssh-
loned lace mists are being revived. They |
will be embroidered with beads of q color |
to match the dress.
There is fancy for the basque with
plain back and full fronts, girdled from
he side. This Is pretty for dressy after.
