lace, especially one which is cailel
lame with the accent on the final T..
There are many pleasing varieties of
metal lace and only one is called lame.
This is on Lions net and has a loose
kind of embroidery made with a fiat
thread of gold. The metal thread Is
run in and out of the net in a careless
way with long stitches from one to
three inches. When 1t is not used in
design, 1t Is used as an edge to band
of net, and 1t makes an admirable fin
ish to any costume with which the
dressmakers are delighted.
There is another kind OF metal lace
much In demand. 1t Is also done on
white Lyons net, but the embroidery
Is with silver thread and Is a formal
French design, very dainty, made up
of small flowers and baskets. Another
lace Is Of flattened gold thread on gold
net and is excessively luxurious and
opulent In appearance All of these
are used as ruffles on gowns and
bodices, for crowns of hats, and often
for the Innings Of evening bodices that
are made out of a swirl of tulle. In
the white laces the old Brussels point
is very fashionable again. 1t is a soft
cream, trif1e away from white, and
Is admirable when used with black
panne velvet.

conceivable manner; to fashion collars
and cuffs, cover buttons, as a border
on wraps and gowns, to trim millinery
and to adorn fabric muffs and stoles.

Tassels are much to be used this
