displays are well worth seeing and are
not only Pleasing to the eye but are
highly instructive.
Not in many years have good laces
been used so freely as they are this
season and never within memory have
the lace departments of the different
fashion shops made so superb show
ing of raj laces, old and new, and of
fine limitations. The filet meshes are
particularly popular. and stunning de-
signs are offered in the hand darned
filets. some of them priced at figures
prOhibitive for the average shopper,
but others less elaborate quite mode
rate in price, as hand-wrought laces
go.
Venetian lace is as much a favorite
as ever and so is Irish. while Mechlin,
Alencon. Chantiily and all the fine
laces are equally popular for their APP

lowed tone suggesting the mellow tint
of the old laces is preferred even in
the new lace and one sees much less
of the pure white Irish and other
white laces than in former years. The
same is true of the batiste and linen
embroideries, and the softened tone
is indefinitely more becoming than
the white. 1t harmoniZes more de-
lghtfully with everything save pure
white lingerie materials. and since the
big lace collars, fichus. etc, which are
prominent this season. are to be used
on all kinds of material. the yellow

collars. but there are plenty of mod
els from the best houses showing a
cuimpe and high collar and which are
developed along the lines that are
chic without being too youthful in cf-

white or flesh color is frequently used
and the plain fine net or fine fancy net
