LACEMAKING IN VOGUE
IRISH CROCHET OPERA COATS AT
oNE-FIFTH REGULAR PRICE.

A hundred and fifty dollar Irish crochet
opera coat for $40 is possible for the
woman clever at lace making and with
time enough on her hands to construct it.
Society women have taken up the craze
and handmade evening wraps will be in
evidence during the social season, and
surely there is more to recommend them
than most of the fancy work women in
dulge ill., for a wrap of this sort will take
rank with the family jewels and other
heirlooms of value. for it will last for
years and can be handed down from one
generation to another the same as any
other rare old laces.
In order to show at a glance that the
work done by hand no two sides of the
wrap are alike. For instance, the motifs.
either medallions or leaves, are used only
in one position on the wrap. the opposite
side being wholly different; This gives the
wrap an individuality that few such gar
ments possess. This determination on the
part of the women constructing them to
have no two sides alike has resulted in
to insure something quite new and differ
ent. The latter feature, however. in
creases the price of the garment percep-
tibly, but If woman is content to use
two or three of the same devices on one
coat a handsome garment may be made
at home for Il really small sum.
The work is not exceedingly tedious, and
any amateur can do it. for it consists of
carefully placing the Irish crochet braid
on designs stamped on cambria and then
sewing them in accurate positions. The
only part that is difficult is filling the CEN
ters with thread. For sometimes the me-
dallions are formed that a cobweb-like
stitch is necessary to complete them. but
most of the leaves and flowers are given
a desirable finish by a few straight
threads applied in the simplest kind of
fashion.
Those who do not want to buy the fig
ures already made get the Irish braid by
the bolt and fill 1t in the patterns, and in
this way, while the work takes longer a
more original cloak may be secured. The
essential thing in making such a garment
Is to have the various designs of the sides
and back as different as is possible and
still have them fit together in harmony.
For instance, where coat is made up of
floral patterns. all the medallions and fig
ures used should be fiower-iike, while if ii
is a series Of scroll Or geometric devices
the connecting lines should be curves, or
squares to correspond.
Floral figures will be most in vogue this
season, and of these the daisy, rose, chrys-
anthemum, lily of the valley, with ivy,
oak maple and conventionalized leaves,
will be favorites

I stumbled the other day upon startling
achievement in the dressmaking world. A
big shop here in Paris has a man in its en-
ploy who will design and make up gown
in five minutes. Isn't this record beating
time? How Is it done? Merely another
tribute to the power Of pins.
The lightning costumer takes the mate
rails selected by the customer and darts
behind a curtain. There is a brief wait of
q few minutes and a model steps out ar
rayed in what is practically the gown fully
made up. The idea. the effect the color
ing, everything is there and the purchaser
has only to criticise 1t is said that this
coStumer often designs as many as forty or
fifty costumes in a single day. and among
his clients are a host Of well-known &C
tresses. This method is doubtless very up
to date, but I'm a little old fashioned in
matters of this kind.
Just now tailor-made gowns are occupy
ing every ones attention. They are neces-
sary for the chateau season, now that the
big shooting parties are in full swing. l
have been interviewing some of the newest
models and am charmed with the Louis
XVII coats which are to be so fashionable
this winter. On a we'll set up figure they
have q grace all their own. These coats
are shaped to the figure. yet they give the
impression of looseness and fit after the
fashion of a driving glove. They are not
fastened down the front. One of the new
models l admired extremely was of chif
fon broadcloth in pastel pink-a dull shade
Of rose, with touch of mauve and sal
mon in it. The round skirt cleared the
ground and was set In fiat plafts stitched
from waist to hips. The three-quarter coat
in Louis XVII style had some handsome
embroideries on the pocket flaps and on
the large turned-back cuffs. The lining
was of black and white narrow striped tat
feta The embroideries were exquisitely
worked In silks that exactly matched the
cloth.

Costumes AR Morning Wedding.

Proper costume for groom and first man
to wear at an early morning wedding is
black frock coat. gray striped trousers
white waistcoat or gray. dark tie and silk
hat. If the bride is to be married in her
travelling suit, a pretty cloth suit with silk
waist the same color would be pretty. OF
course the style and color depend upon the
circumstances of tIe bride and what is most
becoming to her. The smartest new shades
this fall are the wine tints. A pium-col-
ored cloth costume. short skirt and bolero
coat braided with soutache. with a vest in
the coat of green velvet embroidered in gold
would be pretty. Either white lingerie
waist could be worn or silk the same
color 1t might be more appropriate to
carry a white prayer book instead OF flow

length of the intended ruff. This is for the
foundation, to which the pleated fluffy ma
terial will be sewn. Point d'esprit and net
are more substantial than malines, and for
present wear will be more appropriate also.
To make a good full boa you will require
six strips about seven inches wide and the
length of the material. Sew three of these
together on the short ends, making one long
strip and triple box pleat very closely
through the middle. When finished this
should fit a ribbon about twenty inches
long to which 1t should be stitched down.
Sew the three remaining strips in the same
way pleat and sew down to the ribbon,
making a double ruching. No finish is
really necessary on the edges. but stream
ers of ribbons may be added. one wide one
to each end or three narrow ones in irregu-
lar lengths and either knotted about the
ends This will be handsome run and
much fuller really than those found in the
shops, which are just given full effect by
their airiness.

The short coat is back in favor. but this
does not mean that your three-quarter
jacket of last season cannot be worn with
fashionable approval. It's just the thing
for really cold days. when one Is on a shop
ping expedition. Speaking of these trips
so dear to the feminine heart, the smart
Parisenne is wearing for this occasion a
pin striped cloth suit in Burgundy tones,
made with Il short plated skirt and rather
long coat rounded in front like mans
cutaway.
All Paris is going mad over the new
"sling sleeve" which is to be seen on many
of the latest creations. both for street and

elaborate. but is always cut circular. Put

rate band, which in turn Is treated to some
kind of garniture, the newest effect being
frills of plated ribbon. To be sure. the
sling sleeve carries with it a suggestion of
