most casual observer can see how IL SIM
plifies the making of the skirt. The modlste
has only 20 cut of the material the length
she desires (which is the width around OF
the skirt-and then when she has lined II
and seTed up the one seam, II Is all READY
TO be draped plain in front and ian snapped
al the back. An ordinary seamstress can
easily make such a skirt in the afternoon.
And modiste who has been charging $40
and upwards 70 make skirt can ow DO one
for half her regular price.
The cape is the only thing one sees as q
shoulder covering for woman. The reel
ers, coats, jackets, ETC., may be used Ior
tennis, yachting, boating or mountain ex
petitions. But on all occasions, when a
woman wants to''look nice, "she must wear
her cape, with its medici collar, bordered
with Jets and its long sleeves, pulled shoul-
ders and tight-ftting back.
LACE Is GREATLY USED.
It is almost a lace season, because so many
people are wearing lace upon all their gar
ments The styles in real lace never change
and those who have a quantity OF the real
article in the family have the foundation, or
at least the ornamentation for dress which
shall be as modish as the passion in lace can
make ii.
If the lace is narrow, the woman OF taste
can use it to edge some chiffon which she
around the edge of the overskirts, which
are beginning to come in style again, or 1t
NAV be used down each side OF the front
draperies, which form such graceful nm
ish to tea gowns and house dresses.
At fashionable garden party one OF the
guests wore a beautiful princess dress OF
daffodil yellow silk. The front of the gown
had vest of white chiffon introduced in it,
and broad front breadth of chiffon was
crossed with flounces of rather narrow,
white lace.
If the lace is broad, there is really no end
to the ways in which it may be used.
THE MOST POPULAR WAY
is to make fiounce of it for the bottom of
the skirt. A deep ruffie of the lace is also
placed on the sleeves so as to fall down over
the hands. And if the lace is very broad
the top of the sleeve is made into big puff
to which the lace is sewed so that 1t falls
down from the elbow, completely covering
the hand. Parasols have such deep fall OF
lace that the owner must carry them very
high or her vision will be entirely obscured
by the gauzy folds which fall in straight
lines before her. 1t is to enable woman
to lift her parasol high enough for her to
peep out under il that parasol handles are
made so long and beautifully ornamented.
A founce of lace looks very pretty sewed
around the neck at the base Of the high
standing collar. If so desired, the edge OF
the lace may be sewed In where the sleeves
are fastened on to the shoulders, making
the lace seem like part of the dress, and
giving the gown much more elegant ap-
pearance than it would otherwise have.
The lace flounces which are used around
the lower edge of bodices are just as long
as the wearer can obtain lace to make them.
Eight, ten, twelve, and even twice the num-
Der of inches, are seen in the depth Of the
lace fiounces which border the bottom OF
basques.
IF WOMAN IS POSSESSED OF VERY SUPERIOR
TASTES
she can make a deep fall Of lace, stiffen IL
with beads and jets, and gather it hand
somely upon jet medici collar, which may
be bought for the purpose. This makes q
beautiful cape, and is the summer girls
ideal for an afternoon wrap TO be taken on,
or of, at will, without being sufficiently
burdensome in weight to be oppressive, nor
yet light enough to look like an affecta-
ton.
Care must be taken in beading the lace to
see that it is not rendered too stiff, or it
will fail to fall in the graceful folds which
are the beauty and the glory of these lace
capes. A great amount of beads upon them
| also renders the lace cape liable to tear be-
cause of their weight, and, altogether, the
general effect is not as pretty as when the
gauZy figures are simply indicated by dots
here and there Of shining jets or a few
jewels.
