MAKE FILET LACE At HOME
Few Materials and Little Skill Needed
for the Construction Of This Most
Effective Trimming.

"Filet lace is undoubtedly the fash
ion, and deservedly SO, for it is one of
the most effective of all laces," says
an article in Harper's Bazaar. with
a little patience and the expenditure
Of very small amount of time every
woman, even she who never could
learn to sew can have lovely filet, for
1t is very easy to make.
For making filet lace the only tools
needed are a good linen thread, q
frame on which to stretch the net, and
a dull needle. always buy my ground
net, for, though not difficult to make, 1t
is tedious work. 1t is simply minia-
(. ture fish or tennis net. The only diff
fculty is to keep the distances be-
tween the knots even, but this soon
comes with practice. However when
perfect handmade net can be bought
for very little abroad. 1t hardly seems
worth while to make it. l send to the
Galerie Lafayette, in Paris, for what
use. Net four inches wide costs only
IS cents a meter, and squares suitable
for setting in linen cost from five cents
each up, according to the size. In the
department stores in New York 6let
lace four inches wide with a mediocre
design costs from four to six dollars
a yard. When one can easily make 1t
with beautiful design for few cents
yard 1t seems waste not to do So"
