The latest importation of fine laces
and silk and lace passementeries for
summer wear show that the rose is the
fashionable flower in all new designs,
says "Harper's Bazar." 1t appears IN
silk applique mingled with lace, in pure
lace or in silk embroideres, either solid
or upon mousseline de sole. All lace
or scalloped pattern and pretty nov
city consists of a deep scallop of flowers,
tile lower seallop formed of red silk roses
with centres made of Irish crochet rings
and punches of flowers in contrasting
colors embroidered upon each petal
Another handsome trimming shows
lace pieces in diamond shape, connected
bv punches of cherries in heavy silk EN-
broidery. Indeed, lace and embroidered
trimmings in detachable pieces bid fair
to continue extremely popular for year
or more to come. and all the favorite
garnitures show Irish point lace or its
limitations or dentelle chemique, in their
makeup.
4 very charming and effective novelty
is the combination of different sorts of
lace in single point or scalop, very
often traversed by a spray of flowers in
colored silk embroidery, while another
pretty novelty consists of a wave of
mousseline de sole embroidered with silks
or beads. and bordered with deep seal
lops of lace in floral designs sown with
pearls or spangles,
Rich combination of lace with floral
pieces of taffeta or mousseline de sole,
both embroidered with jet are very fash
;onable. Many of these appear in wheel
effects. which promise to become very
popular for summer wear, and are seen
in white embroideries for wash dresses.
Chantilly galloon is one of the pretties
trimmings recently sent from Paris. Silk
embroidered roses twine across Il trellis,
the combination forming trellis point,
held with Bagoadi rings, and seallop Of
roses opposite each point. The centre
pieces are formed of mousseline de sole,
with a delicate vine running through
them and giving an airy effect to the

the line of extreme novelties, little chif-
fon roses in blending or contrasting col
ors. These trimming pieces are only
made for evening wear, and carry out
the general tendency of the spring sea-
son to light effects and dainty, mingled
colors
Many of the laces, while bought by the
yard, are made of separate and distinct
ornaments, which may be detached from
one another and used as individual mo-
tives in the decoration of a costume.
This allows unlimited variety of taste
and design. Yokes and elaborate trim
ming effects are produced by the way

are joined and appliqued to the material

These hot, dusty summer days create
a desire for cooling drinks. In the long
list which suggests itself there is none
more refreshing or delicious than iced
tea. No matter whether this beverage
be made of Oolong, Sooshong or Ceylon,
1t is most grateful to the palate and
takes the lead of drinks (which cheer
but do not inebriate''
An excellent blending for iced tea
is one-tlird Oolong and the other third
composed of equal parts of gunpowder
and young Hyson. Sooshong-or, as it
is generally called in English, breakfast
tea-is delicious iced. The Oolong mix

drop of the extract of vanilla to
glass of hits beverage is a great improve
ment. The English breakfast yea, VIXEN
iced, is geratly improved by the addition
of cream and sugar; lemon destroys its
favor.
Many who would enjoy a glass of iced
tea at luncheon and dinner do not serve
it, as they think it so expensive on ac-
count of the amount of ice used in cool
ing it. 1t is not at all necessary to pour
hot tea on ice to prepare this beverage
in fact, it is much better when allowed
to cool before icing it.
To make three pints of iced tea, put
four heaping teaspoonfuls of tea in a
large teapot; pour three pints of boiling
water over the tea and let it stand in a
hot place just five minutes; then pour it
off the grounds into big pitcher.
Cover the pitcher, and when the tea is
cool stand it in the refrigerator and
leave it until luncheon or dinner time.
When ready to serve add a little chipped
ice-it viii not require much.
The tea should be made in the morning
if it is to be drunk at luncheon or dinner.
Iced tea with little waters and cream
cheese, or with little cakes, is most wei
come and refreshing in the afternoon.
