LACE ACCESSORIES.

most without end. 1t has remained for this
season, however, to develop postiche yokes.
These are very dressy for young persons
and are put on over plain waists. There is
usually a yoke made of lace, black, white
or in one Of the tints. This is slightly
pointed and has full lace jockey caps.
Many slightly different styles of this fancy
in yokes are seen, and it takes but o mo-
ment to change one from one dress to an
other. Where q very swell effect is desired
a couple of upright little bows perch pert
ly on the shoulders. There is another fancy
for postiche yokes, which can be worn by
quite old ladies as well as young ones.
This is made with q square yoke cut out of
q rather wide lace. This in turn is bordered
with insertion and has q choker collar. On
the shoulders there are full caps square Oh
the ends, and in front there are two tabs
formed of two widths of the lace held in
full at the top and tapering to o rounded
point at the bottom. There is none in tho
back. I saw one made in this style, with
two bows, with ends half a yard long set
on the points, and another one where the
tabs join at the yoke. The quick fancy of
the wearer can add to the dressy and festive
appearance of such an accessory by put
ting bows here and there or perhaps q bit
of q bouquet of natural flowers. I may say
that violets only are worn in punches. Any
other flower should be single and set in it's
own foliage.
Another fancy in these postichc articles
Of vanity and luxury is the pointed double
tchu. There was an odd and yet a very
pretty one in one place where the lace was
cut to deep points, front and back, so that
the frill of lace upon it reached the waist.
This had q collar bordered with q narrow
line of black ostrich tlues, and another one
outlined the point. 1t was unusually be-
coming, and, as it was intended to do, help
ed to make a shabby gown look fresh and
new. That and variety form the reason of
the existence of 1ichus in general. Another
girlish fancy was a deep double frill of
lace, in all about - inches deep. There
was a high choker of rich blue velvet stud
ded with pearl beads, headed with a ruffle
of lace. This style is for young folks from
10 to 16. 1t would look affected on older
persons.
A postiche vest front of lark blue faille
n gold passementerie made an elegant
addition to q black dress. The upper part
was slightly gathered, just enough to give
it the proper fullness over the bust. At
the top the gathers were held in by q band
Of silk, firm enough to afford q hold for
the enormous butterfly bow of the SAM
which was set at the neck. The passc-
menterie was sewed on a stiff foundation
and conformed to the figure gracefully. l
have been thus explicit because many
clever ladies like to make these dainty and
charming little accessories themselves.
They are expensive when one goes to buy
them.
There was q pretty collar also that is
easy of imitation. 1t had a stiff founda-
ton, on which was draped: in three folds
a piece of moire peau dc sole. In the front
wa a bow Of the same, quite double the
size of another one that was set in front of
it. The color Of the original was n sort Of
frosty blue, but almost any color would be
pretty, if becoming to the fair wearer.
Lace is dainty and dressy on everything,
and there will be such quantities of it used
this season that the hearts Of the manufac-
