Much of our interest is now cen
tered in frills, and here 1 find myself
again conceitedly exulting in my sue
cessful knack of prophecy You may
be deceived in the cost of a coat and
skirt, but the frills are of more tell
tale disposition, and the eyes of the
least expert can detect at once which
are made of fine muslin or batiste,
and which of mercerized lawn or any
Of the cheaper sort of fabrics which
can be called upon to do such serv-
ice.
A very superior specimen has a
hand-embroidered center plat flanked
on either side with lace frill; and a
very attractive model has an insertion
of lace down the center of the front, a
plated lawn frill on either side being
edged with lace, while the collar band
is of transparent lace and the base
of this is finished with a narrow black
tie.
Doubtless we shall suffer consider
ably from the Vaccinations of the in
experienced or willfully wicked wash
erwoman, and those who are going
to indulge themselves in frills of fine
quality had best set about it at once
to find a successful clear starcher.
And having discovered her, teach her
how not to starch.
1t seems quite right and proper that
these dainty-laced decorations of
fuckers and rulings should accom-
pany the beaver and panne hats,
trimmed with feathers and we'll allied
to velvet gowns, they may pass for
what we should have called in the
early days of the century brave ar
ray"
l confess myself much in love with
the notion of the plain dress which
looks simple, with an elaborate shirt
and Fittings and ruff1es and crowded
with a very expensive hat with beau
tiful feathers upon it. And, talking
of beautiful feathers, l would refer
once more to those new Celebrations
of the ostrich feather.
The manufacturers have contrived
now to extend the length of their
fronds, so that they have a shaggy
appearance, and they are as delight
fully attractive as novel. Indeed, by
the side of them the ordinary ostrich
feather, even if it be of very good
quality, seems quite uninteresting.
Sometimes these feathers are
shaded, two dark colors being most
successfully used, such as peacock
blue and brown, and two tones of one
color win also do good service.
There is a great rage for the satin
