lar of the old round. style will find that
she must go to work and spend her
money over again. Notstflat the round
lace collar. with its exquisite figures
and, its delicate traceries, viii ever go
entirely out Of style. But there are new
things and one must follow in the van
which leads into newer fashion fields.
Long End Stoles.
She who would refashion her lace col
lar. must cut it until it is very narrow.
little more than strip a finger deep.
This must be laid around the neck, fiat,
and brought down in front Here the
ends must be heightened to make long
stole ends. They must hang below the
waist and be finished with knife plait-
ing of chiffon Or these ends can be cut
off above the waist line and finished
with silk fringe. There are several ways
of finishing these ends.
Then the lace odds and ends are work
ed into silk waists in the most remark
able manner, A certain woman, having
a handsome lace collar, took it TO q
fashionable waistmaker and asked her
TO refasflion it for her. The dresSmaker
cut 1t narrow and applied it TO the tai
feta. waist, leaving it fiat around the
neck. She applied It down the front, and
around the edge she set a little fancy
stitching to make an applique work.
She then took the odds and ends of lace
and cut them apart 10 be applied to the
cuffs and 10 the shoulder cape. This
made q really exquisite trimming for a
bodice which became suddenly very
grand in consequence.
A policy OF applique work was pursued
with a deep yellow lace collar and with
another which was in a deep tan. The
lace was worked into the Silk as the
modiste expressed it, and then presse
until Il became a part of the whole
Handsome Waist Scheme
While speaking OF lace sets there must
be mentioned the Austrian embroidery
pieces which are so exquisite as TO de-
mand attention a set comprises ten
pieces, which are applied to the waists
to set them of and dress them up. They
are used upon every waist and the sets
are in ali colors.
One of the hsndsomest of these waists
is built of very heavy dark brown can
vas. 1t is trimmed with set consisting
Of ten pieces of beautiful Austrian work
There are cuffs and upper arm pieces.
Then there are shoulder straps extend
ing from the shoulder to the neck, and
1heTe IS pretty cross embroidery stock.
A strip extends down the middle of the
box plat In the front. And there are
two handsome pieces of embroidery APP
piled to the front in the shape of great
heart-shaped pieces upon the bust
In making these sets let them be as
brilliant as possible and see TO il that
the cross stitch idea is vigorously pre-
served. Do not attempt to introduce a
variety of stitches. for the result will be
far less neat than though one style was
followed throughout
Waist Frills.
And. since this is letter devoted to
trimmings and the smaller things of
dress, one must notice the waist frills
which are coming into prominence for
day and dinner wear These frilis. which
are made of the richest embroidery. are
sewed around the yoke in square fashion
and are extended over the shoulders and
| across the back. They are called Jose
Prime frills and are very useful for
dressing over an old silk waist

modified income bought recently a waist
