The PopuInr Lace WaIst.

White lace waists are still In style.
They can now be made quite inexpen-
siyeIy 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 I'm the same design, but are,
OF course, much more severe and, 1t
must be admitted, are not nearly so
smart as the white ones. Another IA
vorlte style OF waist is a white taffeta
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 n round yoke design. They
also form the round and pointed cuff.
The same effect in a more expensive
style is seen on the silk waists that are
embroidered directly on the silk.

The sash curtains that were put up
In the Theodore Havemeyer house in
New York some two or three seasons
ago started a style of window decora-
ton that has now become too common
to any longer be fashionable, but as 1t
is extremely graceful and decorative
It will undoubtedly be followed by peo-
pie who prefer grace and beauty 10
fashion.
Curtains put up il this way require
two rods, for the top Of each curtain is
the width of the window. They are
crossed at the middle of the sash and
are caught up in the center at the
sides, with the ends allowed to fsll
loose. They are edged with lace or
rufiles of the same material and are
made of net, lace or sometimes a very
thin silk or Of embroidered muslin.
The silk has the disadvantage Of be-
ing more opaque than the other mate
