New York, jan. 13rvvNow that'every
one is crowding inc social, events, before
the Lenten season shall have arrived,
there is great deal of fixing over and
touching up. on the part Of many a young
girl. The difficulty lies in the fact that
one so soon tires of wearing the same
evening gown; and when two or three
social events in quick succession have
called it forth, an utter distaste for the
dress is apt to spring up in the heart of
its wearer. And yet an empty purse for
bids more than one dainty evening gown
a season, to the average girl The fair
society damsel may order ad libitum; but
this is forbidden 10 the girl who receives
little or no pin money, or who bravely
helps, perhaps, to swell the family in
come. Nothing is left to such one but
ingenuity and dizziness. And here Dame
Fashion kindly steps In TO help her along
In this season of laces and ribbons and
gathers and ruffies, one need never be at a
loss to effect complete change in tho APP
pearance of any gown.
For the evening dress, however the
greatest helper is lace. How deep lace
bib, falling softly in full folds, redeems
epaulettes, the deep, soft cuffs falling
over white arms touches up that plain,
threadbare suitl So do not despair, II YOU
have tired of your gown, but start In to
freshen it up. Er-
One thing let me impress upon you.
Let the lace Of your collar or fichtf or bib
be genuine, and Of deficate design DON'T
buy cheap imitation: even IL YOU can
get so much more Of it for the same num-
Der Of dollars. A little lace, Of the right
kind, goes much farther than yards OF q
mesh that is so palpably sham. The
chief charm Of these pretty things to
many girl, lies In the fact that she can
make them herself. Let me tell you Of
few novel designs. eaY Nv
One has square yoke of fine lace; at
the shoulders are added double rufies of
the popular crinkled crepe, or erinkled
gauze, that comes in all the light, evening
shades. In front, two short stoles Of lace,
falling in gathers, are added.
Another has round yoke of lace a col
lar of insertion, and a short double ruffie
Of crinkled gauze. e ~ .
Another forms its yoke OF alternate
rows Of moire ribbon, in white talthough
a pale color may be substituted) and rows
OF narrow insertion. A lace edge is added.
