Even the Capes Are Getting Lacv

But even here the use of lace does not stop.
one OF the designers of stage costumes has
evolved some lace capes for new production
soon to be put on, and they are so charming
ana Wlthal so practical that, undoubtedly they
WI be copied and the idea expanded for after
all the stage is the most interesting ateler we
have.
A Fifth Avenue designer of note also has
turned out a cape of lace. His is Chantlly.
ny cutting ne has managed to make it circular,
so that it falls with peculiar and distinctive
grace from the shoulders The stage capes
are, some of them, Of tafeta, with heavy lace
applique borders and chiffon-lined. With her
customary disregard of consistency Fashion is
trimming many lace things, frocks and coats
and coaks, with fur. For instance, the capes
have slashes for the arms, and these are often
times trimmed with narrow fur, though some
of them have collars that would do full duty
on a winters evening.
It's fascinating subject, this one of lace
with memories clinging to it, and its strange
subtle power to link the elegancies with the
probabilities that no other fabric has There
is food for thought in the fact that it has
come back now, when its inspiration is need
ed, and who is there who can say that there
is no inspiration in lace?

How the "Happy Day Fund"
Lay in Wait for War

The idea originated with Mrs. Israel Inter
berg, the founder of the association, who
suggested that each of the members give
sum of money on her birthday or wedding
niversary, any day that had brought
usual happiness into her life, toward fund
which should be devoted to emergency work.
The director of the association is given author
ity to draw upon this fund whenever she
deems it necessary. "The Happy Day Fund
was established long before the great war
cloud burst upon US, and when the necessity
came for funds to carry on the war relief work
of the association there was tidy little sum
in the bank just waiting to be used to help the
cause So the originator of "The Happy Day
Fund" builded better than she knew.
The mention of the Young Women's He
Drew Association calls to my mind the pict-
ure, not of the great brick building on 10th
Street. with its big, airy dining room, it's
swimming pool, gymnasium and cosey bed
rooms, but big, fat roof with boxes of bright
geraniums which overlooks the upper end of
Central Park with the lake and the rows of
green trees and the glass roofs of the city's
Conservatives. The park is the background
of the picture, and in the foreground are rows
and rows of children sitting on little chairs
and consuming long glasses of creamy milk
and dozens of graham crackers.
There are $50 of these children, all suffer
ing from cardiac troubles, anamia or NAL
nutrition, whose mothers are obliged to go out
to work, and who were it not for the Young
Women's Hebrew Association, would be left to
roam the streets or sit in hot tenement alone
all day. Many of them are the children of
men in the service whose wives are Garry

gowns there is nothing charming, so suit

A New cage of Lace"

Fashion, ever alert, says: "Delve into YOUR
cedar chests and bring forth the precious laces
those wonderful Spanish shawls and long
scarfs, that old point d'Angeterre founce
that Venetian needle point, the bits of Irish
crochet or Carrickmacross Limerick; the
Duchesse handkerchief, the square of Bruges
the Chantilly or point d'Alencon, the Valen-
ciennes Mechlin, even the Honiton doilies
that grandmother made with her own hands
you any of these things now to eX-
ceptional advantage, for not even in the gay
est regime of lace was it used with such tell
ing effect as now"
But if you have these treasures | advise YOU
to regard them tenderly and treat them with
exceeding care, for it will not be easy to replace
them now that machine made laces are an
swering every purpose. There is only lacking
the atmosphere of elegance and the memories
that surround "old lace" AS for the actual
beauty, and certainly for the practically, the
machine-nade laces many Of them reproduce
ing the old patterns, entirely suited to
modern needs At any rate, here we are
again, in another "age of lace" and when the
fashion history of the present comes to be
written there will be much that is new about
lace to be recorded.
AS d NdtteI Oh IacC, American women have
never realized the full possibilities of lace
They have always insisted upon investing
1t with a formality that carried too far beyond
it's elegance and upon reservng it for august
OCCASIONS when in reality it is quite sturdy
fabric. This was largely due to the feeling
that has always held against machine-made
!aces, but now that the hand made lace indus
try is practically at standstill the others.
which really are lovely, have come into their
own. The reverence for real lace remains. as
it does for old china, but neither fashion no~
good taste now notices any other distinction.
1t is this season merely a question of lace
