A LACE ARRANGEMENT.
New Devices for Frightening the Sim
pier Gowns.


Let me tell you about a lacy gown, 1
beg Of you. But, you say. we have heard
SO much about lace gowns, and have seen
SO many of them, that We are positively
sick of them. We have seen lace in every
conceivable spot-on shoulder. hips. feet
bodice and yoke. We have seen 1t on
parasols and hats, in the dainty meshes
Of the handkerchief and the bit of a boot
that covers the foot. We have seen It in
plain bands, in insertion. IN ruffles. in puffs
and deep falls. You can tell US nothing
new about the arrangement of lace on a
gown.
But, will you listen IL I speak to you
OF the very slight cost at which a simple
gown was made up, even though 1t contain
ed yards and yards Of lace? 1t was only
a blue Bingham. a Bingham you might curl
your lip at the sight Of were 1t not for
the clea Of the azure tint The lace
that trimmed 1t was insertion. and cost
just Is cents q yard. Don't turn away; It
was pretty. in spite Of the price, and I
assure You II was wonderful bargain.
Enough was bought for five rows on the
skirt, at distances that narrowed as the
bands rose. There were only two on the
waist-one on the neck and another a few

about the people they saw passing the win

WHO is that ordinary looking man with
the handsome woman?' asked ths visitor
as a couple went by.
That's Mr.. Dime"
And the lady?"
That's Mrs. Dollar"
"AhI You must have a inoneyed aristoc-

THE GOWN OF A WEEK.

Waves.
The simple in gowning-does 1t give prom
ise Of speedy return? We have seen q
suggestion of such promise in the baby
gown OF the sultry weather. with its neat,
unassuming folds and falls. although the
simplicity was often largely destroyed by
the addition Of coquettish bows and ribbons
everywhere.
One simple gown, not Of the baby order,
has been worn by a summer girl for ex-
actiy one week. Every afternoon, precisely
at Z she has been seen to seat herself in q
certain cozy nook by the shore, whore the
waves roll In almost to her feet armed
with small book. which she never opens.
She sits there for two hours and then walks
rapidly out of sight. She IL never seen In
any gown but this. There is delightful
mystery about the whole proceeding.

Once In a while an elaborate couture is
reared at the top. but these are rare In
the warm season Of the year. Even the
pins and other ornaments Of winter are
largely discarded, and lighter ways Of bear
ing the burden OF tresses are devised. The
simple coil always revives with the summer
and the forehead curls are often neatly
pruned back. Frizzing and curling and
waving are largely discontinued, and she
whose locks wave naturally Is most en-
We'd.
This couture Is one of the most elaborate
OF the summer styles. and is not one to be
often arranged But for dressy occasions
It Is beautiful and becoming to almost any
face The hair must be divided at the
crown. two-thirds falling to the back and
the other third used for the arrangement
at the top. After the two-thirds have been
securely fastened at the crown they are
wound into the rather peculiar arrangement
that Is shown. The top third Is loosely
twisted and lies in a long. narrow loop at
the top Of the head. from which rises the
high pun at the center. If the hair refuses
to stand up. 1t may be twisted loosely about
q small shell band.
