EeSMRg Those of lace, net and chiffon imme
diately come TO mind az having been
the leaders in this class. And right here let me
say that welldressed woman's wardrobe is very
sure to contain at least one or more of these
dressy toiettes This is not extravaganza, mas
much as such frocks remain in fashion the year
through for all smart functions, whether it is
June wedding or February reception, and are
worn alike by young girls and middleaged mn
irons.
DESIRABLE BARGAINS IN NET AND LACE
ROBES
At this time of the year many tempting bar.
gains are to he found in the shops, both in net
and lace robes. Here the wise woman steps in
and replenishes her wardrobe for the spring and
summer gayeties. These robes are beautifully
patterned and artistically draped to suit the re-
qurements of any figure. They worn over
silk slips yelled with chiffon, then with silk,
when a particularly diaphanous effect is desired.
When one considers the amount of work put
upon evening gowns it is quite inexpensive to buy
robe pattern which does not require further
establishment, and with its draping is ready to
wear
Robes of lace and net will be much worn
for graduation gowns and spring weddings.
METALLIC CLINT AND GLITTER
Sequins robes are available from S15 to $50, ac.
cording to the quality of the net and the amount
of decoration employed. The skirts are formed
in tiers of ruffes, in tunc effect, with
border from which extend scroll patterns run
ming well into the body of the skirt. The bodices
are both high and decollete. Sequns and pail
lettes of varied metallic hues are heaped upon
them. sometimes several shades of the same
color.
Where color is introduced on the gown it lie
sometimes carried out in the under draperies, or
narrow pipngs, at the girdle and elbows.
ROBES OF LACE
Prices vary in lace robes from $25 to 500. OF
the former there is quite interesting display
in Brussels net and Lerre lace, patterned in
forals, bow knots and wreaths. Among the
newer ones there is silken thread outlining
portion of the design which makes it stand out
boldly from the surface.
The bridesmaids frocks to be worn at fash
ionable wedding during the last week of this
month robes of Lierre lace patterned in posies
and bow knots, the latter being outlined with
silken thread. Bebe pink slips OF messaline silk
will be worn under these robes, matching the tall
Empire girdle, bows at elbow, and the rose
wreaths on the large Leghorn hats which will
be trimmed in baSk with picturesque butterfly
bows of black ribbon velvet, with streamers
touching the shoulders.
What could be attractive and less ex-
pensive than such charming costume? Even
little lingerie frock of batiste and lace after it is
made, would be quite as much as the lace robe
which always carries with it an air of distinc
ton.
Brussels net and lace very fashionable
