lingerie frocks of Georgette, organdie
or handkerchief linen and elaborate in
sertion, narrow Or wide, garnish them to
their fill with fillet. 'is>1 -
Boudoir caps Of the eoarser meshed
imitation filet are most attractive and
in one made from yard length of very
wide all over filet cdging is simple and
seductive, The lace is scanned together
and gathered at the apex. 1t has crush,
of wide satin ribbon holding it in
closely around the the headsize. The rib
bon 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 effee-
tually a multitude of hair curriers'.
Cuff and collar sets of real or im-
itation filet have all the fairest femin-
ines around the throat and wrists. In
deed collar of any other lace save filet
is spurDcd with great eholer
Handkerehiefs of the mode and the
moment are bordered with the finest
and narrowest filet edge and wells
through naturally not of linen thread
tape the filet lace in motive and mesh.
Though on the surface of things you
would imagine all the filet was III full
view judging from its prevalence there
i is also a great abundance under cover
or at least partially so. 1t is most popu-
/ lar for lingerie garnishing and edges
| and trims wash satin, muslin, crepe de
chine of Georgette chemises, mghties,
petticoats and undervests in impartial
perfection.
: That essential garment known mys-
teriously in Paris as a "cache corset
and equally in London as camisole
we designate more sordidly and frankly
as corset cover or an under bodice and
by any name know it to be most lovely
when made of all.over filet lace and
strung with shell pink satin ribbn.
I Filet has even invaded the hearth and
home as well as our personal apparel
apertainanees, not only is it omnipres-
] ent richly eneru5ting table linen, the
face towels and even the bath towels
in its meshes.
Filet crochet done in insertion and
edgirg is used for towel trimming and
/ crochet filet squares showing an inlt1al
or monogram are set in with stunning
results. All the feminine hands not busl-
" welding Knitting needles of amber
or bone on socks and sweaters for sail
ors and soldiers are busily chauffeuring
bone or steel crochet hooks through the
mazes of filet mesh for bathroom epl-
belishment.
Bed spreads of the filet lace squares
in conjunction with embroidered ones
have always been the last word IN bed
spread perfection as have curtain dress
er and toilet-table scarfs and lingerie
pillow tops. Some brave and and nn-
daunted souls are even turning out beau
tiful bedspreads of filet crochet. You
can do the same if YOU don 7 care what
YOU do and aren t subscriber to the
popular opinion that life is short and
time is fleeting.
Even the children cannot escape the
crepe for first and aside from the re.
. gulation filet edgings and insertions on
. their garments they attack the dahS
howl of cereal from behind the brave
front of an enveloping heavy linen h't
, inset with square of filet crochet
showing anything in the animal king
dom from a rampant tiger to peace
full lambkin or a soft eyed moody eew
The men as vet have escaped the fax
orite fiiet but they had best beware o.
thev will be shared within it's squsres
mesh yet.
& At least they as well as everyos'
: arc ready to eoneeed that filet's I'M
for fillies.
