Fashions and Fads by M. E. CiIIey

Lace is used more freely than last
winter and 1t is not uncommon to see
several styles in the same gown.
There is strong demand for both the
filmy laces, such as Chantilly and
shadow" and the heavier ones such
as Renaissance, filet, Venise and vari-
Gus crochets.
The novelty of novelties at present
is the long redingote. The graceful,
floating ends, reaching nearly to the
hem, are trimmed with fur or galloon.
This garment is so elegant and re-
quires such costly material to make it
effective that it will be difficult for It
TO become common.
Ermine sets are more in demand
this season than ever. Coats of this
elaborate fur appear in greater num-
ber. Collarettes. toques or the hand
some scarfs and muffs are exceedingly
popular. Designers have combined
ermine with black velvet, making
lovely fur sets which harmonized
with any color
The new shadow lace yelling is
very charming and is fast gaining a
place in the world of fashion. It hits
the happy medium between the too
heavy patterned and often disfgured
