tailormade, and handsomely embroider-
ed. Its special beauty lies In its arts

irish lace squares, ovals and dla~
mond-shaped empiecements heavy en-
broidery and stitched bands are eHec-
tivelv combined with the former, while
the latter, the colored linens, are given
all manner of lavish decorations OF
self-colored laces, embroidered lnser-
lions and white trimmings.
One Of the newest methods of garnl-
ture is the application Of large colored

group of fetching frocks. The sleeves
were the oldest little affairs; Closely
