leaving a V-opening at the neck. Into
the spaces left by the lace are inserted
narrow mechlin edgings fageted to-

Small medallions of baby Irish lace trim

Another practical lace waist which more
than repays for It's initial expense by the
length of time it can be worn Is built of
imitation baby Irish. In ivory white, an
effective afternoon bodice shows fitted
foundation of cream messaline silk, over
which the lace Is laid rather scantily, both
front and back. Tucked chiffon inset with
narrow insertions of chantilly lace form a

orange velvet in delicate shade trim the

There is, however, a. word to be said for
the plain shirt waist. 1t has by no means
lost its vogue, and In the new chiffon VEL

Revival of the All-Over Cluny
Lace Waist.
Sc M I-DRESSY WAIST
AN EFFECTIVE MODEL WITH A
CIRCULAR BERTHA.
Fairy Scarfs Are a Fad of the Up-to-
Date Girl for Afternoon
Wear.

Written for The Star by Katharine Anderson.
Now that the busy woman has learned
the value Of a tailored suit, no other way
or dressing can be made to seem quite so
practical nor so comfortable. So after four
months of planning elaborate costumes and
one-pfece frocks there comes an emphatic
call to the leaders of fashion for waists to
complete the all-popular coat and skirt
And the call is answered by a host of
dainty, soft creations beside which even
empire and princess gowns lose their fasci-
nation.
Separate waists for the New Year are
marvels Of intricate beauty and handlwork
LaceS heavy and delicate mingle in be-
wildering design. The loveIiest of silks and
satins are lost beneath insertions, applioues
and myriad stitcheries, while velvets of the
most supple texture have their inherent
splendor almost eclipsed by the exquisite
ness of their colors and patterns
The very smartest waist of the season Is
that built entirely of lace, and a practical
revival of several years back Is the bodice
of al-over cluny. No other lace has quite
the durability Of this. With careful
handling 1t can be laundered an endless
number of times and come out looking as
fresh as new.
lace bodice must be made up over some
soft silk or satin messaline and In
many cases chiffon lining is employed be-
tween these to soften the coarse threads
of heavy laces. A charming example Of
the new models in Cluny is lined in this
way, while a semi-ftted lining of liberty
satin IN oyster white gives 1t a warm foun-

occasionally by medaliions of chantilly
lace. Tie distinctive feature is the sleeve
shfrred over the elbow and terminating
In u rufie of the satin that hangs in a
deep point, shaped by medallions and in
sertions of lace. These ruffies which add
so much grace to a short sleeve, are a
very noticeable feature OF all the mid
winter blouses.
In girlish effect is a bodice of Alice blue
liberty silk that closes at the back. Across
the front in curves bands OF valenciennes
insertion with edgings to match are APP
piled at intervals below the bust line and
add a fullness becoming TO a slight fig
ure. Large medallions of heavier lace,
fastened one below the center of the coll
lar both front and back and one on each
shoulder. are encircled at the edges by
the valenciennes insertion and edging
and complete a petal-like yoke. Similar
circular medallion trimming adorns the
outer breadth OF each short sleeve.
Quaint Berthas.
Still a third liberty satin waist is
unique because of its bertha, which pro-
duces a broad and quantity old-fash-
toned look. y long yoke of heavy and fine
lace deftly blended fills in the neck.
Caught at the center of the front below
this a circular piece of satin has the full
ness fastened under large satin
buttons and then spreads out and curves
gradually to the shoulders where it is
lost in the shoulder seams. Accordion
pleated chiffon edges this bertha, as well
as the elbow sleeves.
An outcome of the empire models is an
afternoon blouse of white crepe de chine
with very deep girdle of sapphire blue
velvet. Falling from the shoulders to the
top of the girdle are shaped pieces of
crepe de chine edged with very wide in
sertions of embroidered net and dotted
with tiny rosettes of sapphire velvet hav-
ing a rhinestone button at the center of
each. deep pointed vest of net dis
plays tabs of velvet with rosettes at the

are similarly trimmed.

Love and the Fan.

From the Chicago Record Herald
Probably the first European women to
use fans were the Portuguese, perhaps in
troduced by merchants from their trade
with Japan, though we find mention of
their having them in the fourteenth CEN

V, at the end of the same century. men
tons a folding ivory fan. Doubtless the
wicked Catherine de Medici. with her knowI-
edge OF and love of the luxuries of Italy,
introduced fans to her sisters IN France.
The many wives of Henry VIII of England
and their court ladies' were used to holding
fans and Queen Elizabeth had as many as
twenty-seven In her elaborate wardrobe.
Fans grew into general use about this time
IN Italy, France and Spain. A regular code
of signals was arranged, SO ladies and their
admirers were able to carry on a regular
