is the equally old-fashioned netting.
For long years past this species of
handwork has been left almost ex-
clusively to fishermen and their wives.
1t served for fishing nets and that
was about all. But now it is coming
back as fast as 1t can to the place
it occupied, let us say, a hundred
years ago, in the repertoire of fancy
work for women.
Then was the time when dainty
slipper-cased feet were put forward
and used in the service of the kind of
fancy work known as knitting. Now
machinery does great deal of the
work which human fingers aided by
the foot used to do.
But whether wrought by fingers or
machinery, it remains a fact that old.
fashioned netting is a distinct revival
and that its presence in drawing rooms
throws an air of fashion around them
The effect of embroidery upon it are
now more artistic than of yore, ma
ture as we'll as pictures oftec serving

cross-bar pattern in the same fabric
as the coat for an inlay in the collar
and revers and as a border for the
sleeves. This inlay is shown in black
with white bars, in bright green and
in leather color.
The collar is cut so that it may
be brought up close about the neck,
and, while the coat is not designed
for cold weather, it has plenty of
warmth to fortify one against the
keen breeze of the sea or the morning
chill of the mountain country and
the "norther" that penetrates to
southern climes.
Such a coat is destined to outlive
a single season; it is so sanely fash
ioned that it may be relied upon to
outlast the caprices of style for year
or so.

DECORATIONS IN THE HOME
Especial Feature of the Moment Is
the Lavish Use That Is Being
Made of Lace

Lace assumes more and more the
important place in the domain of home
furnishing. 1t is so important that
upholsterers have to employ lacemak-
ers and are obliged to make lace pur-
chases on a considerable scale.
Among other things, pianos and win
hows are draped with lace, leaving
room for legitimate upholstery to ccme
afterward All styles are available
The renaissance" combines with lace
of quite modern origin. And, comkin-
ing with all and second to none in
fashion or effect, is the t&dfashioned
crochet. The present taste for
crochet denotes a remarkable revival
in this kind of thing.
Another revival besides it, and MAX

LEW coats are as graceful as the

and wide capelike sleeves. 1t is so
roomy that it may be worn over a
tailored suit, but so we'll adjusted

bersome about it.
About nine out of ten coats of mod
erately heavy woolen fabrics fail
when it comes to being graceful. Such
coats must be cut on simple lines,
otherwise they cannot possibly be
smart" The fault usually lies in
breaking up the design with decora-
tive features added for the sake of
novelty. In the coat pictured here
the desired novelty is achieved in the
shape of the sleeves, the flare of the
skirts, and in the introduction of a

Grafton. These two are introduced in
many positions.
But exceptions which suit the style
and features of the individual are al
ways commendable. The pretty Golf
fure shown in the picture is arranged
in rather boyish lines about the face,
with long side part and no curls. 1t is
wholly redeemed from this masculine
touch by the Psyche knot at the back.
One cannot believe that any other
style would be quite so becoming to
this particular face, and this is the
conviction which makes any coiffure
successful.

Against Mr. Fordney, who is a
