Embroidered flet lace Is one of the now

sort of coarse fish net and this can be

that the two ends do not have to come too
closely together. In this way a most eff
fective jacket can be made at no very great
expense. for in combining the lace with net
and ribbon 1t is possible to save the lace
to large extent. and particularly where
there is any cutting and fitting to be done
the net instead OF lace may be placed there.
A bright golden yellow flet lace is used
with all colors this spring and gives an
exquisite touch to any shade Of green. An
all-white nuns yelling of chiffon green
trimmed on waist and skirt with this ye.-'
low filet is exquisitely pretty. and when a
coat of the same sort of lace is provided
the costume is an exceptionally charming
one.

Reginald de Koven,s Latest.

K cannot be said that THE Girls Of
Holland" the revamped musical comedy
which was produced at the Belasco The
alter last week, will add anything to the
reputation Of Mr.. de Koven. As an en-
tertainment the piece is a fiat failure;
il is deadly dull throughout, not a bit
amusing, and there is not one hearty
laugh in the whole play The dialogue
and plot are by Stanislaus STANCE. The
plot is trivial and absurd. and Mr.. STANCE

A list Of characters, embracing Capt.
Crosstree. Shylock, Mr.. Golightly. Ricard
Carew. Bottom, Jim Radbern. Beresford
Cruger. and Chauncey Short would for
many decades be a source of delight TO
lovers Of the quaint, poetic, and pa
thetically humorous. especially in an age
when the tastes of the refined and in
telligent are so constantly violated by
the Sordid, the unpoetic and the coarse
ly vulgar. The comedians work during
his recent engagement in this city gives
evidence that his talents are to a high
~ appreciable degree eXtant: the lucid
power of expression, the delightful con-
ception Of sentiment and comedy are
still there. and all that is needed is "A
