While lacings on gowns are not new
feature. the fashion is becoming exceed
ingly popular. for lacings appear in every
place where an excuse can be found for
them.
Dresses and blouses are laced down the
left side with soft ribbons instead of with
hooks or buttons.
The sides Of tunics frequently show lac
ing connections while MILDLY blouses are
slashed in the front at the outer edge of
the sleeves, also the side seams at lower
edges Even yokes display narrow thread
ings of ribbon, ending at the lower edge
in bow, cravat fashion.
Among the summer garments i'm vogue
is separate waist and skirt intended for
wear together as morning toiiet.
The waist is of pure white linen neatly
tailored and trimmed with tucks and but
tons. The turnback Dutch collar and cuffs
TO match are edged with real Irish lace in
sertion and narrow edging.
The skirt is of imported white washable

At the Pre- Catelan a stunning afternoon
gown was seen of yellow linen. Wooden
beads in a huge buckle form caught the
wide folded girdle of black satin at the
left side. These beads again were used as
a deep band on the edge of the sash ends.
The half-sleeves were edged with a deep
cuff of Irish lace, while the guimpe was of
the same. piped al the top with dull blue
and black satin. a parasol with a long
curved band of gold was carried with this
costume, which had the last touch of the
artist in a yellow linen hat, covered with
Irish lace and trimmed with wooden
bead ornament.
A hint lies in that last note for all
women. The hat to match the dress gives
a certain completeness and chic that the
majority of Parisiennes recognize and
that Americans would do well to emulate
