wonderful assortment OF embroideries done
upon heavy linens and combined with
heavy lace into superb trimmings OF all
shapes and forms. Sometimes two or
three kinds of lace, coarse and fine, are
united with the embroidery in these trim
mings. and the prices asked for such works
of art are appalling to the shopper OF mod
crate income.
Real Irish crochet ia more popular than
ever, and apparently more beautiful. The
designs in which part of the crochet ia raised
aud entirely separate from the groundwork,
save at one point OF juncture are particu-
larly fanoied-and particularly expensive.
Exquisite new robe patterns In lace, net
and combinations OF net on lace with silk
or cloth or linen are being shown, and.
though expensive. are so easily made up
that part Of the initial expense may be
saved by retrenchment in the cost OF max
ing. Cut-out allovers Of cloth or of linen
over foundation OF heavy net are used
for coats and deep skirt trimmings upon
frocks OF plain cloth, linen or, preferably,
sheerer material
Az for the all lace robes, they are OF a II
kinds and prices, and are in many cases
bewilderingly beautiful The vogue of the
long fitted coat shows in this lace robe realm,
for many Of the patterns include such
coat made upon good lines and with such
allowances that it may be readily fitted TO
any ordinary figure.

A sheer yelling in shepherd plaid checks
of tangerine and white was among last
summers offerings. and ii appears again
in the new stuffs, at the light end Of the
gamut Of white and brown checks, and
conjures up vision Of an exceedingly
smart summer shirt waist frock or after
nson frock II would, for instance, enter
effectively into two of the frocks sketched
here, although the original models OF both
were 10 one tone stufls
One of these frocks, distinctly ohio,
though easily copied has a full skirt around
which run two broad bands Of lace, bor-
dered by velvet ribbon shrred at both
edges The bodice blouses slightly and
opens all tho way down the front to show
soft jabots Of lace, tho fronts being finished
bv velvet ribbon set on In scrolls
This model might be effectively and easily
carried out in any pretty voile crepe or
eolienne, and would surely be nodish
throughout the summon.
The other frook demands n sheer soft
stuff adapting itself readily to drapery, and,
though very simple in appearance, would
tax the makers skill "a do all frooks do
pending upon bodice drapery and skirt
lines for their success. The heavy lace
yoke is excellent in line and not difficult Of
achievement.
Going back to the subject Of the new
goods, there are deleotable tweeds in light
creamy grays and mode tones with almost
invisible paiding in lines Of white and vary
ing shades % the ground color. and there
are OF course, darker tweeds, homespuns
oheviots and serges in every imaginable
ooloring but the chances are that etamine
weaves will compete with these heavier
woods, as they did last season in the province
of the coat and skirt frook and other tail
ored costumes.

And. by the way, a word of warning

who select and buy their laces aud en-

Many Of these stufs had threads OF color

often depends. This surplioe waistcoat
finds considerable favor, as do all surplioe
effects. and though some OF these sur

practical for one season as for another,
but such goods, where they have formed a
part of the winte;t stock. are often in the
way OF the new output, and merchants
who keep up, with every smallest move on
the part OF the manufacturers haven't
room to Garry over everything among the
winter materia that might possibly have

And so the bargain counters are piled
high with lightweight silk and wool, all

aIn our house in Boston, " said the Boston
girl -we have little old fashioned Co.
lonial ghost that somebody left there.
Nearly all Of us have seen her walking up
and down the stairs. She is the quainest
little thing you ever saw. She wears
short wasted, long skirted dress with
little cape pinned across her bosom. Her
shoes are low and buckled. She wears a
poke bonnet, too
when we frat went there friend who
was visiting us sat by the fire awhile then
got up and walked away. He had no sooner
risen than the little ghost came from
somewhere. we never knew where. and
took his seat He turned and looked at her
As he looked she leaned forward and threw
herself into the fire.
He was amazed but when he was told
about IL was assured that il was very
natural thing for the little old woman to
do. She had fallen from that chair into

looking at him.
They thought little OF it, supposing
1t was only a childish fear but not long

room TO sleep. He awoke in the dead 81
