Like a pyramid of Milanese lace with
giimpses Of palest pink showing in the Sc
ries of riffs is the dainty summer gown
shown today. 1t exempifies old, old
idea of alternating bands of lace and col
ored material with new touches here and
there. For example, the yoke is empha-
sized by having the lace carried up straight
over the shoulders and threaded with mar
row velvet ribbon. Below the shallow yoke
the bodice appears to be three separate
strips of mellow Milanese lace, forming
point In the center, and with ruching of
pale pink silk between.
A dropping line Is followed in the sleeve.
There are three silken ruches. which start
at the termination of those on the bodice,
but round down toward the hand. On the
bottom of the lowest is fastened
plain silk cuff outlined with ruching ana
having three overlapping frills of SILK set
inside. These have fagoted hens and carry
no lace wha tever

Giately below the crushed pink silk girdle.
is made of the material gathered in rather
full. Then follows a wide strip of Milan

other insertion of lace. this time little

In demandin the parliamentary vote Tor
women the Queens Hall demonstrators, to
whom Mr.. Morley sent his reputation or
the kitchen-and- nursery theory, are seeking
the restoration of mere fraction or an
cient rights. The doctrine of feminine po-
litical influence lies at the roots of the Brit
ish constitution. True, 1t has hardly risen
beyond the roots. Women OF birth and quail
ity-graced the deliberations of the Saxon
Villas. Five ADDRESSES attended the great
council of Wightred at Beconceld in 694.
and, along with the king. bishops and no
bles, signed the decree. To the parliaments
of Henry III and Edward were summoned
the abbesses of Shaftesbury. Berking, st.
Mary of Winchester, and of Wilton, while
in one of Edward IITs parliaments at least
five counteSses were represented by proxy
The influence of WOmen@tn the councils or
men appears, however. to have reached
very low point in the reign Of James l, for
we read that a lady summoned to give evil
dence as witness at the bar OF the house
of commons was refused permission on the
