New York, Sept. 2.-There are Ger.
tain materials which never go out OF
fashion. Lace is one of these. It
seems as if this ever popular ma.
terial is to be more the rage than ever
this season.
A gown made entirely of lace is not
always effective, and as a consequence
the d~Tessmakers are combining it
with other materials or with some
other lace. The smartest effects are
obtained / nthis manner. Emhroider-
ed batiste or linen combined with lace
is always charming. Two kinds Of
lace, a heavy and a light quality, will
produce some beautiful results and
shifon with lace is still popular.
AS said before, simplicity is to be
the keynote in the coming fashions
and in lace gowns and the smaTtest
models of this season. Lines are long
and rather severe and the trimming
is on the same order.
A very charming model was made
of what is known as all-Over lace. The
skirt is gored and finished with a me-
dunn wide hounce and is slightly
fuller in the back, forming a short
train. The waist is just as simple,
closing in the back, collarless, and
with short pun sleeves. The only
trimming is apliques of heavier lace
in long lines down the skirt.
A decidedly novel coat, to be worn
with a citron colored costume, Is
made in princess style. The Goa is
cut off like a mans cutaway. fits
tightly in the back and the sides and
is held together as the bust by a ro-
settle of black satin ribbon. II is cut
with a low neck effect and filled in
with a guimpe of lace and lingerie. A
wide collar of embroidery satin out
lines the guimpe. The sleeves are
shirred TO the elbow and have a
turned back cuff of embridered satin,
with the frilled sleeve so fashionable,
reaching Just below the elbow.
According to the latest reports from
Paris, striped materials are to be ex-
tremely fashionable. The stripes are
to be had in all widths, from the barely
visible pin stripe to the conspicuous
width that will be worn by the extrem-
lists. The color schemes are generally
light.
Black, always fashionable. is to be
especially smart this winter. A black
gown always looks distinguished and
has the added advantage Of being the
most economical in the long run. A
black costume for evening res trim
med with bands of handsome jet is
the most effective gown for a matron.
La Mode affects styles in lingerie
as well as the outer garments, and
the tendency here as in the case of
gowns, is toward simplicity. The
numerous frills and other fluffy trim
mings are no longZ used on the night
gowns, chemises and corset covers of
the up to date woman. PetticOats
are the only pieces of underwear that
still have biHowy frills and founces.
The finest French batiste and main
sock are the materials chosen for the
finest underwear, and the coaTser but
more durable cambIic is seldom seen.
What is lacking in trimming is made
up in the sheerness of the material.
The chemise, which was pushed into
the background for a time, has re-
gained it's place in popular favor and
appears in some very pretty designs.
A line of beading or insertion and lace
holds the smartest chemise over the
shoulder and sometimes the shoulder
strap is made of ribbon. This is es-
Tecially cuitable for wear in the even
ing with decOllette dresses, but is also
seen on models intended for everyday
use.
Empire models are the most popu-
lar for chemises and ~nightgowns with
the short waist line defined by a band
of broad beading just below the
bust. Ribbon is run through the
beading and tied with long ends and
loops in front.
The use of ribbons is one of the dis
tinctive and -extravagant features as
well as of the stylish lingerie. After
one has bought the ribbon necessary
for the beading, the bows and knots
used so lavishly on modern underwear,
this item of expense is quite a large
one.
The lovely design in embroidery, in
sertion and %fiouncing are pressed into
service for trimming some of the
smaTtest underwear. However, these
are better for petticoats. night gowns
n drawers than for chemises and
corset covers.
Embroidered medallions may be
used with lace and are easier to han
die than the other trimmings. An eff
fective trimming may be made by buy
ing little embroidery butterflies in
various sizes and setting them around
the neck of the chemise or corset
cover with the tips of the wings
touching and a narrow edge of val
enciennes frilled into the irregular ,
line made by these embroidered mo-
tits.
Tiny squares of very fine embroid-
cry are also set into fine lingerie with
Valenciennes insertion or with bead
ing monographs or initials are set into
the garments with lace and look as
If embroidered 10 order.
