The present outlook shows that there
will be great revival of the lace dress
pure and simple, both black and white
There was an importtSs dress shown me re
Gently that was very beautiful. There WAS
an undordrcss of black taffeta glacc, and
on this were set fine houncCs Of black
bourbon lace with the top of net and the
bourbon cugc worked on it, The waist
was covered with lace net, and had brc-
tcllcs made of the louncing. There are
several kinds of silk net laces, some quite
plain and others bordcrcd with bourbon
when black, and point dc vcnisc and orr
entail when white There is new color
in LAGOS called butter color, which is yell
lower and more on the golden shade than
cream, and yet it cannot be exactly called
yellow. 1t harmonizcs well with all the
spring colols.
The wide silk net is made as a gown
over another Gown of silk, and those with
the edge made of some distinct kind OF
handsome lace are really beautiful Tie
net is generally Russian. fshnct pattern
or mesh, and always Of silk. This reminds
me that worstcd lace promises to have d
run next fall for all kinds of trimming, il
the importers are right. They are the nat

2 to 90 inches wide and would be lavishly
used on early fall mantles and other gar
mcnts.
Black spanish lace is also in for run
and will doubtless have it, for this lace i.
so rich and gives such effects as no Other
lace can There win be little Of it hand
run, rs the lighter effect is preferred
White and cream spanish lace are als'
booked for vogue. The butter color has
not reached that inimitable lace as yet
but may. There is an imitation of span
ish blond, which is in light tints, like
pink blue and maize, but it is too frai
for ordinary use. Few nice dresses, how
ever are made without some kind Of lace
as decorative finish. The fiat insertion
/ bands are as popular as before, and thes'
are now to match the bourbon patterr
on the fshnet tops.
One of the handsOmest of the new gowns
made in that way shown yet was on'
