the whole slightly stitIcned. This used to
be called footing. 1t is quilted up just as
full as it can be made for neUkwear Some
Of it has white net footing with black edge,
and vice versa. Others are all of one color
These quillings make q very light and in
expensive finish to the neck Of a dress, or
in fact, any place wherever 1t is put.
Ruchings of this are made to trim the bot.
toms of light and transparent skirts.
Lace dress patterns are shown in the
most exquisitely beautiful designs and
traceries. These have the skirts all pre-
pared, lacking only to be s5wed to band.
There arc all over pieces with narrower
edgings to match to use In making tho
bodice and sleeves. Naturally silk or
satin underdress is to be worn with lace

straw, lilac and pink are the oolors which
show prettiest through the meshes of Ell
ther black or white lace. Some of these lace
skirts are straight; others are woven into
a sort Of circular shape This has very
elegant sweep, and sweep is now one OF
the requirements Of all light dresses.
Chitfonettes and soft lisses are among
the newest of the dress materials for very
dressy occasions, especially for the young.

liked. The tissues of silk or silk and fine
wool are among the prettiest Of light
stutfs, and their colors are in the main
pleasing though very bright. Faience,

IL is said that black thread and, in fact,

much worn by the most dressy ladies this
season.
Woolen bareges and veillngs are shown
in many varieties Of weight and color.
There is chiffon Of cotton which is as
pretty as the silk, and this will be largely
used to make dainty summer and evening
blOuses and bodices where the silk chiffon
would be too dear.

Lace wells are wonderful in the way they
are woven. Very large double meshes are
made with big black chenille dots on every
