in the varied history of Dame Fashion
when Milady had such an opportunity
to create for herself what old fashion
ed people would term meek rigglns"
of all sorts. The smart shops through
out the cities in the states are show

and jabots and besides these Chantil-
ly Argentine and Alencon laces hold a
prominent place in the elaborate show
