kinds of lace. but principally Alecon.
Mechlin and Brussels, are provided in
most fashionable colors, both light and
dark. These are usually dipped laces;
few are originally woven IN color. One
OF the latest additions to the list is colored
crochet-wheels. which make up very
pretty transparent shapes with a border
ing of straw braids around the edge Be-
sides plain tu,le for making drawn and
gathered shapes, there Is a considerable
demand for sprigged and spotted net. In
some of these the spots are woven In the

Small sequins stamped out In the shape
of sprigs are used. Sequins are also laid

FOR WOMEN
Women in Politics

The participation OF German women
in political and public work must Of
necessity be of an unofficial character.
as they are restricted not only by the
limitations known to other civilized
countries. but also by coalition laws OF
especial severity, peculiar to Germany.
In that country women are not allow
ed to become members of political So
cieties. Women and apprentices un-
der age" runs the wording Of the meas
ure. and their presence at meeting
OF political character. either I'm the au-
dience. or most particularly on the
platform. is sufficient excuse to the po-
lice to break up the meeting. Although
this law holds good for political meet
ings of all shades Of party opinion, 1t
is noticeable TO a keen observer that the
authorities are more apt 20 enforce
IL in the case Of a gathering Of the rad
ical parties. and only when the tone Of
the speeches has taken on a character
unpleasant to the powers that be. But
in spite of these antediluvian restric-
tions. German women are making their
influence felt more and more in public
life. and are developing most promis-
ing social and political activity.
