Laces are generously used on summer
evening wraps, as evidenced by the two
modish models pictured today. The shir-
red taffeta wrap is q Drecoll model. apd
the rich cluny lace on it Is worth many
hundreds of dollars. The chiffon taffeta
in q new strawberry shade makes an ef-
fective background for this beautiful lace,
and between the lace and the taf1eta is
laid thin black net which extends beyond
the lase in narrow hem. The cluny ap-
pears to wind around the wrap, which is
lifted toward one side. and a very smart,
new feature Is the sewed-down pleating
at the edge and on the cum. 1t Will be
noted that this pleating Is not allowed to
hang free at the edge but Is sewed or
tackled securely so that only the center of
the pleats Is loose. This sewed-doWn
pleating Is feature Of the new Paris
fashions for fall.

but elegant wrap goes q fetching cap of
gold lace and pearl beads. with white
marabou tiff at one side.
The gay bead embroideries on bags and
reticuies have become familiar, but bead
embroidery on a handsome evening frock
is something Of novelty. Paquin has
used this colored beading with good effect
upon a dinner gown Of plum and gold
