1us experiment. Where suc! combl- nation is used the laces should be of very good quality. A touch of real lace on q dark gown will lend distinc- ton and dignity to it. BuC the dark colors bring the lace so much into that it must needs be of very good quality or the gown is hope lessly cheapened.
 IneXpensiVe laces may be used to any extent on thin summer materials and they add q note of daintiness and airy ness The thinness and liehtness or most summer materials do not vie with the Iaces for prominence but the one !! blends in with the other and there are | no sharp contrasts Lace flounces on | thin materials add both to the material 1 and the general effect of the attire. 1 but lace floupces on either skirt or bodices in dark winter materials give an appearance of fussiness which IS always to be avoided.
 Thin nets and faces which are not real may be used for high collars and vokes. for here they are not placed on the material itself and the flesh be meath them softens them. They are placed in iuXtaposition to the material of the gown. but not on it. Wherever lace is placed on q material so that II brings out strongly the pattern of the | lace and it's quality. it must be one | that can bear inspection or il had bet 1 ter not be used at all.
 i Crepe d.. Chine and China silk will 1 be extensively used this spring and crepe de Chine as a lining is really ideal Women have grown rather ac- l customed to the heavy brocades and silks as Innings for fur and evening wraps. and yet nothing could be q greater mistake. for these heavy gar 1 aents need q soft lining to preserve | the soft. clinging lines demanded this year
 Black crepe de Chine for mourning is used almost entirely for indoor l gowns and trimmings of white crepe on these gowns are being used more land more In fact white mourning creIa as trimmings and for entire waists fs much in demand. White crepe is becoming more popular each day and the shops are showing all manner of neck pieces made of this material l White collars and jabots are edged
 with it and entire bows made of 1t. | There is softness and simplicity about it which made it suitable for mourning where one wishes to relieve the heavy effect of first mourning.
 There is every indication that straw hats will be worn d great deal during the spring season The importers are already beginning to show some ol
 the new models. There seems to be q
 gradual tendency toward hats that roll
 uu at the side and back and are trim med at the back. Some straw models with high crowns and tiny brims are also shown. though on the larger hats the crowns are quite flat or melol
 shaped There is a scoop shaped ha
 which rolls up at the back and ha' laImost bonnetlike effect. and witt
