Fashion Notes.

That all lace dresses are to- be among
the best of the new things is made sure
by the importation of thousands of all
over lace dress patterns and also any
amount of frontings, vestings, etc.
Some of the all over designs have the
ground white or black and the design
worked over tile surface. Heavy laces
for gowns are also offered in the
shapes which will be required to fash
ion the gown. A rich Irish point gown
has two skirts, one reaching to the
knees and the other to the feet These
parts are specially shaped and finished
for the purpose. Other pieces are fur
nished for waist and sleeves. A nice
silk skirt with the regulation ruffies at
the bottom is needed to show them off.
