corset covers made with little fullness
VIII give more slender effect TO the
figure.
A pretty waist on this order was
made of alternate strips of wide and
harrow insertion. giving the effect OF a
pattern in stripes. These waists are
sometimes ornamented with narrow
stitched bands of white silk.
On onei waist the short vertical
bands ending at the bust give a yoke
effect. Each is finished by a. white
silk cord and tassel. Similar strips are
on the upper half of the sleeve, which
is tight fitting. Below the elbow the
sleeve falls away in a huge puff. The
narrow cuff is also banded with the
silk.
On another waist the stitched silk in
braid-like effect is appliqued in scroll
designs.
Heavy Irish lace, either in inser-
ton or all-over, is used not only FOR
waists, but also for coats. It is the
right weight for use on the thin wool
fabrics as we'll as with lighter silks. 1t
is often made up without either lining
or trimming. The lace is elegant
enough TO stand alone.
Irish lace is used in the latest de-
Velopment of the skirt coat The blouse
proper has French back and a slight
ly pouched front. 1t has a high collar
finished with shell-like lace, which
matches the al1-over. The sleeves are
only moderately tight fitting and widen
out into a slight puff above the cuff.
The cuffs are narrow and edged with
an inserting similar to that used on
the collar. The main feature of the
coat is the skirt. 1t Is deep and far
lng' edged with the lace. Its peculiar
attribute is that it is detachable. In
moment the coat can be changed to
a waist and vice versa.
The amount of hand work DISPLAYED
on some of these lace waists is re-
markable and often faggoting gives the
erect of lace A dainty blouse of pale
blue mousseline is cut into leaf-shaped
pieces which are faggoted together.
The yoke and standing collar are of
oddly inserted batiste lace. No lining
is used A chiffon ruff1e, which lines
the mouth of the wide bell sleeves,
gives grace to hand and wrist. The
bell sleeves are unusual, the puff be-
low the elbow generally being caught
into a cuff.
another waist on which much hand
work has been expended is a combina-
ton OF chiffon, faggoting and vegetable
lace. The bodice is entirely of hand
work. 1t is formed of ineh-wide cir

OF the chiffon circles. So is the collar.
The blouse below is of the lace, al
though chain of the circles outlines
the bust. The sleeves are capped with
the lace and are of chiffon closely
shlrred to the elbow. Below this they
fall in Duff of chiffon. on which the
circles are appliqued irregularly. They
are again shirred above the deep cuff
of the circles.
Renaissance lace is still used for the
