The Popular Lace Waist.

White lace waists are still in style.
They can now be made quite inexpen-
sively of the all over nets and laces
that are to be had in good designs and
at moderate prices. These waists must
fit quite plain in the back. but there
must be some fullness in front at the
shoulders and directly in front, and
this fullness Is drawn down under the
belt. Small rosettes of lace and chiffon
and fancy buttons hide the fastening at
the side, and the collar is of some soft
material also.
Black lace waists with white Innings
are made in the same design, but are,
of course, much more severe and. it
must be admitted, are not nearly so
smart as the white ones. Another fa-
vorite style of waist is white tafeta
that is trimmed with bias bands of the
silk embroidered with polka dots of
black. The bands are quite narrow and
are put on in rows down the front and
back and in round yoke design. They
also form the round and pointed cuff
The same effect in more expensive
style is seen on the silk waists that are
embroidered directly on the silk.

From now on the news of the world
