THE REALM OF DRESS.
Demand for Lace ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Points Popular for Bodice
Fronts This Season.


New weaves in nuns yelling have the
effect Of fine SILK cords set at rather
close intervals. The material between
the cords is almost as Thin and trans
parent as India silk. These goods are
procurable in variety Of colors APP
propriate for either street or house
wear, says the New York Post.
The great demand for lace is in
creasing rather than diminishing, and
the exhibit this season includes many
beautiful net-top founcings, inser-
tions. appliques, zilk-wrought motifs,
edgings and fancy bands. The Russian
and flet laces in white, cream and but
ter color are used on either light wool,
silk or muslin gowns, the Venise, Van
dyke, Flemish and French arabesque
patterns on summer textiles. The ba-
tiste and Chantilly appliques and me-
dallions are among the daintiest and
choicest of the new French trimmings.
The colored guipure and Irish crochet
laces are also considered very effective
for chambray, zephyr, and similar cot
ton dresses.
Length is given to the front of the
bodice this season by means of girdle
points, in place of the long-popular
dip front. Gold, silver. embossed
kids and feathers, velvet, satin, plain
and corded silks, and other materials
matching the gown are all used for
the seasons corselets, girdles, etc.
Pointed shapes are among the French
novelties, also designs in chased gold
of the Napoleonic period. Solid silver
buckles in Indian gold finish, set with
semi-precious stones, are popular; also
those in gunmetal and onyx. Opal and
lucly-stone clasps and buckles in
quaint shapes and combinations,
framed in real gold in fihgree devices,
are among the costly models fastened
TO satin strappings and belts that are
worn with lace and satin waists.
The small French position. consid-
erably wider at the bottom than at
the top, is attached to most of the
full-length Eton jackets and blouses.
Each killed tab is about six inches in
length, with an in-and-out arrange
ment at each side that shows bit
of the satin lining Again, the coat
has a belt, from which the position
falls, and it takes the form Of mar
row strapped frill, or two narrow tabs,
possibly supplemented by shorter,
overlapping ones. Another style is
the detached belt and position, that
can be worn or not as desired. 1t is
simply a convenient form of belt to
wear with a matching stock. This
adds a becoming length to either
street or house jackets. It curves
slightly to accommodat9fhe moderate
droop of the waist, and fastens to the
jacket with one hook only, at the
back
The newest tailor costumes Of light
wool are very much on the lines Of
the heavier styles Of the past season,
but almost without exception the
coats have no collars and are as close
" fitting as possible that is, giving a
straight-front effect but having the
side darts curved exactly to the figure.
One model is like an open-fronted bod ]
ice, and is designed to complete suit
for shopping and morning wear The
skirt has no founce, but expands sim
ply by the use Of faring cores. The
atamines, silk and wool canvas goods
and other loose-meshed materials are
more popular in these gowns than the
fine, beautiful French cashmeres, s.SD-
riettas and other smooth, silky wools
that are still so much used for hand
some demidress gowns trimmed with
silk passementries in applique effects
Or with guipure lace and satin-piped
strappings.
