Repousse Lace.

What the dressmaksrs term pushed
dot lace is the new kind to use on
thin frocks. 1t is really repousse
lace worn on the wrong side The
indented part of the dot is turned
toward the eye. It is quite an attrac-
tive lace, as the patterns are in long
sprays OF leaves and small roses.
This dotted lace is quite fashionable
and promises to rank with the best
imitation Venetian and Mllanese.
Milan lace is also coming into first
fashion. 1t has a coarse mesh and
wide, bold design worked out on 1t.
Filet mesh is also attractive and 1t is
widely used for handsome gowns and
coats when 1t is half covered with
thick padded Chinese embroidery.

Man and a Wife.

The primary impulse of all creatures
is possession. 1t is this that causes a
chicken to tear around the yard with
a piece Of meat in its mouth and all
the other chickens after it. OF course
it cannot possibly eat the meat. 1t
hasn't time, but the instinct Of pos
session makes it grab and keep it. The
same is noticeable among beasts. They
like to get great piece of meat in
their mouths and then growl. 1t is
this instinct in man which provokes
him to matrimony. He wants some
thing to guard and growl over. So
he seeks a hollow tree. cave or a
house and a wife.-Puck.
