The Use Of Lace.

Lace is. of course. the natural trim
ming for light washable fabrics. but
here, too. discrimination must be
used. A safe rule to follow is this:
Patterns and mesh increase in size
as materials grow heavier, and be-
come smaller and finer aS materials
grow lighter. If we keep this simple
rule in mind. 1t will help to steer us
around many pitfalls. Like all other
rules, 1t has its exceptions, for occa-
sionally contrast is sought between
the consistency of fabric and the
lace that trims it. But contrasts are
ticklish enterprises unless one is very
skillful, and harmonies OF relationship
meet with more general success. A
simple and sure way to test the cor
rectness of your trimming in lace as
well as other materials is to observe
whether details of your gown are con-
spicuous at a greater distance than
is allowed by good-sized room II,
at this remove. your guipure or your
colored bands are noticeable, except
as a harmonious contribution to your
costume, you may be sure that they
are "out OF value" as the painters
say.-Woman's Home Companion
