Tho new laces comprise fow varieties
unknown to us, tho chief difference being
in tho tint and the design. Tho lcrre
laces so fashionable last year, whom they
had comparatively larg cflowcrs far apart,
now have delicate designs covering nearly
the whole of tho surface They are in ov-
cry width from ~ inches to IS inches
wido. Every design of cdglng has II band
of insertion to match it, There is white,
and thoro arc champagne and butter colors
Tho nets with Russian edging arc also
shown in butter. cream, ivory and mat
white and also champagne color. These,
too, have an insertion to match, and there
are numbcrlcss designs in tho heavy lacrs
like gcnocse and venetian point
Tho insertions belonging to these &c
signs are very rich and have irregular
edges, az thoy have no intcrspaccd net,
nothing but tho design, whatever it is, in
heavy thread. This makes an eXccptionnl-
ly sumptuous and effective trimming and
can he used on anything from cotton
10 velvet. In many instances il is Iuid
around u skirt urco, twice or three times
and tho waist is trimmed to match. Some
times it is placed in waves v;,ndy llci or
deep tablicr curves around tho skirt while
the belt and yoke are made to match. In
fact, there are so many different fancics in
the application of the laco Insertions that
it is scarcely necessary to mention them.

white or pale ivory. One white ground
had small crimson berries scattered rather
spnringly over it, each berry having tiny
green stem with two green leaves Tho
same design was wrought on black, but
was not so pretty. All sorts of small,
bright colorcd flowers were worked on
other pieces. Some of them had fnnciful
figures in shape OF diamonds hearts and
rhomboids, dono in floss of two or three
colors in with black or white The pat
tern is narrow ana the space inside open,
so that, given the delicate material on
which it is worked, it is very light and
fluffy. The lower edge is scallupcd and
generally has the floral design worked IA
little closer there.
