 Still frocks. frills and filets
 Come in for a mention. Lace, lace, lace! This isn't an ad- monition to pull your corset strings unduly. It is simply a general de- scription of the most paramount de- tail of feminine fixings at the present moment. Lace these days means only one kind of lace, too, and that's filet.
 You know it's the kind with the square mesh like a modified Page fence. It's all on the square anyway and has floral designs spreading over 1t, like vines on trellis or else ami malls cavorting over it's cross bars like | the June bugs and bird cmfwfwyfwy | toes on our screened front porch. The real honest to goodness filet is, of course, the handsome kind, to | acquire whose square meshed lengths enmashes you in debt to great lengths.
 Dainty edging of the handmade fiiet finishes collars and cuffs of the most exquisite lingerie waists as we'll as the lingerie frocks of Georgette, organ die or handkerchief linen and elabor- ate insets and insertion, narrow or wide, garnish them to their fill with filet.
 Boudoir caps of the coarser meshed imitation filet are most attractive and one made from yard length of very wide all-over filet edging is simple and seductive. The lace is scanned to- gether and gathered at the apex. It has crush of wide satin ribbon hold ing it in closely around the headsize The ribbon Is set on about two inches above the lacy edge which Is left to flop softly around the face. The cap |, of cross-bar mesh is guaranteed to screen effectually a multitude of hair curriers'.
 Cuff and collar sets of real or imi- tation filet have all the fairest femi- l hines around the throat and wrists. Indeed a collar of any other lace save : filet is spurned with great choler.
 Handkerchiefs of the mode and the , moment are bordered with the finest and narrowest filet edge and veils though naturally not of the linen thread ape the filet lace in motive and mesh.
 Though on the surface of things you would imagine all the filet was in full view, judging from its prevalence. there is also great abundance under coyer,s or at least partially so. It Is most popular for lingerie garnishing and edges and trims wash satin, mus lin, crepe de chene or Georgette chem ises. nighties. petticoats and under vests in impartial perfection.
 That essential garment known mys- lteriously fin Paris as cache corset" !" and equally mysteriously in London as a "camisole," we designate more sor- didly and frankly as corset cover or an under bodice and by any name know 1t to be most lovely when made of all-over filet lace and strung with shell pink satin ribbon.
 Filet has even invaded the hearth and home as well as our personal ap- parel apurtenances. not only is it om- nipresent richly encrusting table lin en, lunch cloths, dinner cloths, lunch con sets and napkins. but 1t has the guest towels, the face towels and even the bath towels in it's meshes.
 Filet crochet done in insertion and edging is used for towel trimming and crochet filet squares showing an in itial or monogram are set in with stunning results. All the feminine hands not busily welding knitting needles of amber or bone on socks and sweaters for soldiers and sailors are busily chauffeuring bone or steel crochet hooks through the mazes of filet mesh for bathroom embellish- ment.
