Wool Lace.

Wool lace is still retained and
there is no abatement Of tie vogue OF
Irish crochet and filet lace; new de-
signs are constantly blossoming out.
For gowns of summer silk, yelling
or crepe the trimming most favored
is a combination OF heavy blind-em-
broidery on cream or ecru batiste,
with fire French guipure. Renais-
sance lace motifs in which the needle
work is done with silk the color OF
the gown, while the ribbon or braid,
unusually heavy, is cream or white,
make a most effective decoration.

Vast Extent Of the Seas.

It has been computed by geographers
that if the sea were emptied of it's
water and all the rivers of the earth
were to pour their present foods into
the vacant space, allowing nothing for
evaporation, 40 900 years would be re-
quired to bring the water of the ocean
up to it's present level.
