also for dances, the lace gown is ap-

wear have GO much of other material
in their construction that they may
also be classed with the cloth or silk
gowns, but the lace comprises the
greater part. Heavy laces are the
smartest for this style of gown
Cluny, guipure, Irish point or the
heavily embroidered flet iace-and the
insertion bands or the all over des-
cription is used iRstead Of the ruffies,
or, as it is generally termed, lace by
the yard.

money. social distinction, and one, a
woman of noble ideals lives noble
lfe in the midst Of temptation. Miss
bingham produced Mr.. Fitch's play so
