NEW LINGERIE COATS.
Black and White Lace Jackets Back
-. AGAIN

Lace Jackets, both short and long, black
and white, are still very much In vogue
and are included in all the recent southern
trousseaux as well as in the spring and
summer outfits. A lace holero may be worn
with almost any style of dress, being about
eauaIly as attractive with q linen frock as
when nut on over a silk or velvet costume.
simple silk or lingerie bodice will be
made doubly effective If relieved by short
coat of Irish lace or lace and embroidered
batiste, and this same bolero may be worn
with handsome gowns Of silk or embroi-
dered linen to make the suit more appro-
pirate for afternoon wear.
Lace Jackets have not altered to any ap-
preciable extent during the year Some are
cut quite square, while others are rounded
and are somewhat shorter in the center OF
the back than in the front: others, again,
are pointed in front and slope up sharply
toward the back to allow of an empire
pIait on the dress. The sleeves are gener-
ally half length. with the farfng klmono
effect, and being all in one piece with the
wrap give the sIoping shoulder line that
is seen on many of the newest gowns.
Elton and blouse jackets in lace are ex-
ceedingly pretty, and with belt or g1role
of satin or brocade ribbon are becoming
to the average figure. Inese n,ooeis may
be made with little revers and a turned
down collar of silk OF Powered ribbon TO
natcb fine pirdle. but the cuff at the elbow
should be prettily decorated with lace and
perhaps a little rosette or the RIBBON.
Long Jackets both fitted ana with pox
backs are seen in the rarest kind OF laces
as well as in the less expensive qualities.
very good imitation Is quite possible In
both black and white, and long coat OF
this material Is even more useful than an
Elton or bolero, for by covering so mucn
of a dress it makes the frock just so much
handsomer. Many Of these wraps are quite
finished in themselves, and are so effective
that they may be worn over any style cos
tune Others, again, are made all in one
piece with the dress, and of course these
are less serviceable, although they give
tone to a garment for afternoon wear.
On the same order as the lace Jacket are
the little boleros of all-over hand-embroid-
cred linen. Both the raised and the eye
let hole varieties are fashionable An en-
broidered linen short coat can be worn
with any wash skirt and will give the eff
feet of handsome lingerie suit. Many of
the linen wraps this year have deep Shout
der capes of embroidery, while the rest
of the jacket is quite plain; In fact, en-
broidery s,-if anything, more fashionable
this year than it was last summer. An
embroidered bolero or Elton does not call
for any Of the same work on the skirt, al
though a skirt similarly adorned would
make an effective costume.
Northumberland white taffeta suits are
anything but out of date, and embroidered
pongees in white as well as in the different
shades are seen already in the south and
will be much in vogue for the coming sea-
son. Separate coats of the eyelet-hole en-
brofdery are exceedingly smart in both
silk and pongees.
For evening wear many of the spring
wraps are of lace made up over light slid
or satin, with interlinings of chiffon and
net These always make an attractive
style of jacket, and II the lace is of any
value such a coat Is an excellent invest
ment, as 1t will remain smart for some
seasons and then may always be cut up
for a separate waist or for trimming a
gown.
