fulness of the new shadow laces will
end. Besides their prominence in
gowns and .blouses they have been
exploited In the realm Of millinery and
by those who make all the sheer and
dainty things for boudoir wear and the

These laces are not imitation OF
handmade designs. but something
quite apart. They mark an era in
which their designers are adapting
patterns to the weaving Of cotton into
laces by machinery. The precision and
efficiency of machinery are factors to
be considered. and they enable the de-
signers to achieve the ARREST fabrics

kings and queens or others Of princely

everyone may own these beautiful
stuffs, because the price is 50 mod

Mrs. Bensons testimony was of little

that their property in Iowa should be

values were to be based on the earn

Union operates in ninety-one counties
in the state and its total mileage is

and pays in taxes annually about 1885,

they be lowered.
