Gall limitations of all of these, dyed
in ccru, cream and black, were all
much used. Often several varieties
were combined-which is proof that
the vogue Is for lace and is broad
enough to include many kinds.
The ichu of lace was strong
characteristic of the costumes, and
the short sleeves of many of the
dresses were often finished with lace
rufles. Combinations Of black and
white lace and of black and cham
payne were very much seen. often
one lace was used for an overlay for
the other This was particularly true
of combinations of white Venise and
black Chantilly., ..
Wide flouncings of lace were cscan-

satin, or again the lace Is applied In
