on as part Of the frcck itself. 1t is used
with = laviShnesS and generosity that is
really not consistent with the prevailing
high prices. However. it may he that
this method of using lace so general to-
day originated with the requirement Of
aristoCratic women Of France who were
willing to make use Of precious old
pieces Of real lace providing the dress
maker did not cut them.
Nothing that has been shown this sea
son is moro charming than the frock
made entirely Of lace. and I am show

dation is made OF lace. The sides OF
the skirt arc trimmed with pink French
roses and the sash with its large bow
