The world OF fashion by storm and
made the craft of the dress cleaner an
important business of the day. 1t is

one of the most attractive uses to
which these laces have been put is for
Le making of the little jackets of all
sorts which are to garnish summer
rocks and lingerie waists on nice oc-
lsons during the SUNNI r. These little
jackets are for the most part of much
aNhreyidted Elton length with flowing
-laeNeS terminating above the elbow,
or in long box or Pony shape. Such
garments of lace and embroidery are
very dressy little affairs costing any
where from IS to 500, while some
wpler ones of lawn and Valenciennes
come MS low as S2.25. The latter may

gathered into Il harmonious and capti-

little mantels of nameless variety and
shape that just cover the shoulders
reaching barely to the elbow and
mostly of cloth, for wear with smart
silk gowns. Dressy cloth costumes de
