Now that the fermentation consequent
upon Easter has subsidized. 1t may be
safely asserted that last seasons up-to-
date costume may be again utilized.
Nothing really new. except the pos
tilion back, has been evolved, and
black or white lace and velvet are
more than ever important. 1t is diff

advantageously, they are attached to
white foundation muslin, and are most
effectively used on black taffeta silk
skirts as insertions-say three above
the fibre and over white silk. Waists
or yokes are very much a matter of in
dividual taste, of course combining all
ornamentation shown on the skirt, with
fancy appliques in addition. An i'm
ported blue foulard silk, had one wide
black lace insertion around the skirt,
and at the front black velvet ribbon
was fancifully looped and punched
across the front, and similar black. lace
was fitted around the waist, just like a
corselet, with the fullness from tuck
ed yoke falling loose over the lace cor
selet. Velvet ribbon was looped on the
bust. shoulders and sleeves, the latter
finished with narrower lace of the same
design.
A NEW FASTENING
has been devised for blouse waists.
Four very large holes worked in silk
are on each side of the front, the first
in the collar, and a narrow silk or chit
fon scarf, with gilt ends. is laced
through these holes and tied in bow.
The effect was charming, on ciel blue
crepe de Chine, with white silk scarf
and white silk undersleeves in two
puffs, and gilt bands between the puffs.
Linens, cottons or organizes are made
in close resemblance to those of last
season, for the latter ruf1es edged with
lace, or double edged black lace is Of
tentimes put on in deep points, with
many narrow ruffles at each side OF the
points. Lace in keeping may be used
in straight bands on the sleeves and
waist, beneath fancy round yoke.
Heavy white lace also trims colored
linens, and green linen dress has two
rows of lace in points around the
hips, the upper row smaller than the
lower, thus giving the yoke effect. On
the blouse front the lace points were
laid crosswise

as ever, thus the dressmaker retains
her wonted tyranny, and many are so
small that they look like minute cords.
They are not unfrequently substitute
for trimmings, as the skirt of a beaut
iful pink canvas dress, has only length
wise tucks to the flounce. They are
also largely used on grass linen dounces,
running parallel with the lace edge, the
time and labor expended thereupon be-
ing appalling. Colored mercerized lawn
waists are also tucked lengthwise and
crosswise on the sleeves, and have white
sailor colors trimmed with lace, ex-
tending down to the belt in front, with
shield and collar, marrow black velvet
run into lace beading) and white puffed
undersleeves. High-grade white lawn
waists show rows of fine quality inser-
ton down the front, and another style,
exclusively for young girls, has inser-
ton in points at the front, and opens
at the back.
