The question of laces will be unusually
interesting TO the dressmaker this fall. as
Paris has recently initiated some advance
styles which will appear here in the au-
tumn. and which will call for the employ
ment of great deal of lace.
The Indispensable guide to the purchase
or use lace will be the manner of its
use, and as this will be specified in three
styles, TO make broad statement, it will
be quite possible to purchase far enough
ahead TO insure choice of pattern and
quantity to make profit.
The first style to be noted is the tunic
or dressy coat effect which is formed by
using a deep lace flouncing il straight,
rather full style from the shoulders we'll
down over the hips, and either loose or
belted and in decollete or high neck.
Black is used over white and white over
black, and the favorite laces are filet,
venise. chantilly, Bohemian. Spanish. or
the combination designs. Those with a
fancy picot or distinctly scalloped edge
are favored.
The -'cond style is the dress founda-
ton of messaline, charmeuse, or what
ever is desired. with an entire over
dress made of lace flounces. Various
widths are used, from twenty inches

MILKElEN'S COUNSEL
WILL FILE OBJECTION


More than fifty milkmen will appear
in Police Court this morning to answer
charges Of selling impure milk. Attor-
neys Matthew e. O'Brien and Henry z.
Davis. who represent the milk dealers,
have announced that they will object
seriously to the bill of particulars pre-
pared by the prosecution and will re-
quest the court to have more specific
bills drawn up.
At the request of the defense, the court
some time ago ordered the prosecution to
prepare the bill Of particulars 1t de-
clares that the milk in question was
adulterated in that II contained bacteria,
including the colon bacillus and strep-
tococcus. indicating filth and decomposi-
ton.
In speaking Of the cases yesterday. At
torney O'Brien said:
I'VE are having printed and will file
In court tomorrow a motion for a more
specific bill of particulars in each case.
We shall insist on the government being
compelled to state Just what foreign SUBJ
stances the milk contains that makes the
dairymen liable to prosecution before We
plead to the charges. We have alto
gether too much scientific palaver and
too little in the way of definite charges
Of adulteration."
1t is expected that additional COM
plants against the milkmen will be filed
with the court in a short time by the
Health Department.
