ASSESSMENTS PENDING.
APPROPRIATE USE OF LACE.

There is a discretion in the selection and use of faces wherein one may show refined taste and good judgment. Ger tain kinds are befitting certain occa- sions, certain fabrics, certain seasons and certain uses. There are laces for morning and evening, for indoor and outdoor costumes, for wraps and bon nets, for lingerie and muslins, silks and velvets, for youth, maturity and age. Transparent, filmy laces or heavy ones are to be used accordingly, as full or flat decoration is desired. For some purposes machine lace is to be pre- ferred to the hand wrought article. To consider it more durable, however, Is mistake.-Orlena l.. Shackleford in March Woman's Home Companion.
