allows them to indulge their fancies! A
waist, Of all latticed lace, was a novelty.
It was worn by the Countess of Essex,
one Of the most beautiful of the titled
American girls, and was seen at a garden
party in London the other Oay. The
modiste who made 1t Is authority for the
statement that 1t was the most expensive
separate bodice she had made this sea-
son.
The lace was Point de Paris, with
thread upon each edge, similar 10 lnser
tdon. Piece after piece of this lace had
been crossed and interviewer until per
feet lattice was made, after the tasnlon
of interlacing ribbon waists.
Then the bodice was cut out. II iliuss
have taken a sharp scissors anu .,a1., n
heart to shear through those loVeIy
meshes: but the waist was cut out anu anu
very simply made into blouse ratlea
full in front and brought down TO ZIG
long point so desired. The sleeves were
plain with a big bell at the hand. un-

ItANas tTuthfully written by one on tne
rreA dressmakers of Paris that this
would be d lace season. In communlcat-
ing with an American patron ne sald:
"Decide upon lace, for nothing except
lacey will be worn.'' And his prediction
has .come true, for lace is the one fabric
of tire hour, and of the season.

upon the same gold button that holds the
fold Of the surplice waist. The sailor
collar has a deep pointed edge ana IS as
broad in the front as in the back.
These collars are cut a little low IN the
neck and are without finish, precisely IKE
| the regulation sailor collar. But OF coui se
they are made of more delicate materials,
generally lace over taffeta, or of the most
elegant white lawn embroidered IN eA-
quisite silk.
It is only a short time since it was con-
sidered the worse of bad taste to wear
a transparent yoke. This season nearly
all the bodices are made in this way. one
of the debutantes at the presluehl re-
ception the other day wore yoke SO ueep
and SO transparent as to be almost start

lieve not the rumors that yokes Will be
short and built of heavy velvets. On the

upon; gauze, lace and the thinnest OF

SKIRTS AND WAISTS.
| The skirt this year has by no means
lost it's distinctiveness, but is overshad-
owed Just at this moment by the waist.
Many of the skirts have tunics, with
tucked, fronts to correspond with any
tucked waist; other skirts show yoke of
laces deep enough to resemble a short
tunie.
The foot of the skirt must flare and
here gain you see lace, for 1T peeps forth

Hats are large and darker" wrote a
French milliner to patron at the sea-
shore. She referred to the immense Lady
smiths with their curling brims. White
chips, lined with black, and piled very
high with feathers and silk are worn; SO
are the fiat hats with the flower garden
on top.
Parasols are greatly trimmed. Plain
parasols are purchased by prudent wo-
men of the we'll dressed but not extrava-

lace insertion, carefully appliqued to the
silk. Around the top, instead of fall of
