Little lace roses are charming things
and a group of these tiny roses in white
lace with small red silk roses set in the
middle were observed upon one OF the
prettiest evening gowns OF the season.
These lace roses in groups of six or

and the skirts OF day gowns. They are
delightfully."- dainty and are feminine to
the very last degree.

the woman who likes pretty trimmings
and this is a French fad. Wide bands

bits of colored silk while the lace is en-
broidered in silk design. Little lacey
fancies these are. but charming in the
sum and substance OF the season s
wardrobe.
