These vest fronts and falls of lace and
Grape are pretty in themselves and love
ly on woman over somber or faded
dress. Tho top one is of null shirred to
fasten at tho belt and pulled around the
neck on foundation of lace. A half
yard of black lace of any kind that is
twelve to fifteen inches deep makes the
fall
Those on the right and left need little
description. They are made Of silk null
or crepe dc chine, as preferred. and bor-
dered with lace. A bow Of ribbon
makes them q little more dressy. Other
vests can be made entirely of Grape,
null, or thin China silk. The collar laid
in bias plaits or gathered in puffs, and a
jabot, knife plated. or bias and gath
cred full, can be sewn along the center
of the front. Bows Of ribbon TO fasten
at the throat, with jabot of lace, are
also pretty and are frequently seen.
The corset waist Is a great favorite
with young persons, and novel and
very dainty manner of making one is to
have the foundation Of some rioh colored
or iridescent silk, and sew outside Of
this n complete covering Of point de gene
lace, and frill Of the same around the
bottom Is an addition. Shoulder straps
are made of silk or Of velvet.
The two sleeves show manners in
which one can make an old style sleeve
fashionable with very little trouble.
Lace is even pretter and moro graceful
than the dress material, no matter what
it is. The sleeve with the narrow feath-
er trimming gives a Russian effect by
being open on the upper arm.
The hats and bonnets are prettier than
ever, it seems to me, and there is scarce
ly one into which lace does not enter as
a component part. Lace has a soften
ing effect that nothing else has, and
when it is double twisted, as now, with
the loveliest flowers that grow and the
prettiest straw that was ever braided it
becomes a thing of beauty, though q
JOY only until the next season.
One pretty hat for young lady is in
the toreador style, with an upright row
of gold and black lace. with a bow of
golden brown ribbon sustaining q couple
of stiff tulips. Others have one single
American Beauty rose, with long, stiff
stem, and no buds and little foliage
Chrysanthemums or orchids are seen on
others-large single flowers.
