moment.
A very interesting characteristic of the
fashions Of today is the extraordinary
amount of care which is given to the
smaller details of the toilette-those little
accessories and after thoughts Of which no
one took TIE slightest heed some five or
six seasons ago. The innumerable lace
ties, cravats and jabots, which play SO
important part In the toilettes OF the
moment, offer case in point, for with
out some dozen or so of these dainty lit
tie things, no ones wardrobe can nova

chance for those who possess beautiful
pieces of old lace to- make pleasant use
of them, for they can easily be arranged,
either as frills upon ties of glace silk, or
in the safer form of an applique, on
scarfs of panne or mirror velvet.
