The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1914-07-23

IL seems possible that by the time
autumn 10 here all suits and many
dresses will have normal armholes.
This should delight the thousands OF
women who have been rsbelling
against kimono sleeves.
To return to the Bernard suit. It's
skirt had = deep TUNE starting about
SIX inches below the waist line, 20 that
the well-fittsd top Of the skirt might
appear to form a yoke. This tunic
was q circular affair which Jared and

l think that these new details intro
duced by Bernard should be carefully
noted, for II must be admitted that he
creates the majority OF successful
styles in suits.
Velvet capes.
Yes, black velvet capes. They are
in vogue at present and they undoubt-

turns.
However. capes OF white velvet are

midsummer styles when the season IA

also undoubtedly see capes OF canary.

Wars and many other events have

the king and queen OF England
Every one knows that Queen Mary
does not 90 out OF her own country
for her gowns. even though nearly all
the other women OF European royalty
are devotees OF Paris fashions.
Whether Paris really admired the
Irish lace yoke In one OF the gowns
which Queen Mary wore during her
recent visit 10 q question cannot an
swer, but II did make the couturtors
realize that Irish crochet lace is one
OF the most effective and prettiest
lAces today. Within the last few days
many OF the new blousss which have
been shown have been trimmed With
Irish lace, and much Of the new neck
wear is also trimmed with It. And
maybe It will be introduced In some Of
the summer froeks that are Jet 70
come.
Season Of Laces.
However. before the Irish lace incl
dent this was an established fact. The
success OF the long tunic is practically
responsible for the profuss usage OF
nne laces, for this tunie is frequently
made entirely OF a very fine chantilly
or another Of the fine laces. Ono Of
the most charming gowns had
foundation OF soft, black satin and an
almost fulliength tunic of cream-eol-
ored lace; and its corsage was a per
feotly plain little surplice affair OF the
satin, with a narrow peplum In the
front and a wide sash in the back
but It's sleeves were Of lace. One OF
Premet's newest gowns with the long
basque had a long tunic OF lace, bat
this was the only bit of lace on the
costume, for the collar and dscolletage
were finished with Ane white net Bsr-
nard has introduced a new treatment
OF lace in a costume with corsage and
long tunic OF black taffeta. with an
undsrskirt formed of many rufiss OF
white maline lace-as the tunic was
slashed full depth at the left side
these quaint little ruff1es gave a rather
daring but effective contract.
The loveliest of garden frocks are
of white alencon and breton laces.
And then there are some OF white
linon. trimmed with filet and guipure
laces.
In neckwear the jabot and the rabat
are again seen. Undoubtedly the gen
erous use OF laces has revived these
always picturesque styles, for during
the last few seasons women have for
gotten that they ever existed. Many
are asking whether they signify the
return of high stocks. Probably.
Coats of chantilly lace have been
worn by several notable women. or
course, this lace will make their vogue
quite limited And let US hope that
the world at large will be willing to do
SO. for coats OF inexpensive laces-and
especially Irish crochet-are about the
most unsightly kind OF wraps that
women have ever worn.
