rose lining the lace.
One sees novelties at this season Of the
year for the dressing up OF coats and
gowns. and among the new things one no
tees a great variety of lace pieces to be
used in various ways upon the gown. Never
Were there as many little lace sets and
never were they as prettily arranged for
decorating the gown. In many cases they
are brilliantly embroidered: in other cases
they are merely dyed to match the dress or
dipped deep ivory in tone.
The lace coat which has been considered
impossible by the woman of economical
tendencies now takes new lease Of life.
The Modish Ready-Made Frock.
The time has gone by when modsh wom-
On who. for whatever reasons. purchase oc-
c2sioHal costumes at a shop where ready
mad clothes are q speciality are ashamed
OF it. In other days the label on the coat
or other garment was hastily removed as
soon as its purchaser had it in her own
home, so that the envious or the spitefu
were not able to say that the gown was not

maker. but came from shop" where
ready-made garments were the speciality
Nowadays when the label is removed 1t Is
more likely to disappear because mllady
does not wish to see the gown duplicated
in her own circle.
Jumper Waists Still in Favor.
Apparently the overwast or jumper idea
is to extend it's favor for some time to
come. and really some of the new develop
ments are most graceful and attractive.
Thin, soft, crushab!e materials ara the
most fashionable. and they bring with
them demand for waists and gowns that
are full and soft. If you select a model
with an overblouse it is wise to make the
waist portion of crepe de chine or soft SILK,
selecting some sheer net or chiffon for the
guimpe portion. Remember that bright and
vivid contrasts in coloring are passe, and
hence choose soft dull colors. One Of the
newest shades and one which makes a
dainty extra blouse to combine with net, is
yellow of pale shade-realiy the old-fash-
toned corn color. The incoming season.
like the one just gone. Is really prolific OF
blouses can be made of the same material
as the waist If that be Of sufficient fineness,
but, generally speaking, dainty nets all
over lace and chiffon are more adaptable.
Practical School Dresses.
The very practical idea of clothing chill
dren in wash dresses the year around is
steadily growing in favor.
There are many inexpensive materials
in wash goods that serviceable well
good looking, with prices ranging from
80 to so cents for forty-inch material.
For everyday wear the heavier wash
goods are to be preferred-the soft piques
costing from % to 40 cents yard. the
cheviot mercerized cottons, the washable
French flannels. the gafateas. the light
weight denims the tiny checked or mixed
tickings in blue and white of not too heavy
a quality, and all the hickory materials are
among the serviceable and sanitary ma
terials for school wear.
New Filet Laces
Flet laces in all-over patterns and trim
ming bands are in good style
Some Of the novelties in this line are very
deliberately embroidered.
Among the latest importations is a band
of golden brown flet abOut six inches wide
