ters last Thursday night, who lis
tened to speeches on principle and
citizenship delivered by such party

the reason for the hearty support of

by the Lily White faction. He
said in the course of his speech "I
believe that there is Just as much
honesty and fidelity under black
skin as there is under white skin
am in this campaign because of
principle" He closed prophesying a
sweeping victory by the Republicans
in November both in Texas and the

Lace Prevails

meg race courses ana x4ShS
ionab5s resorts were thronged
with smart women wearing lace
dresses. Ghe August collection
showed multitude Of lace models.
Quantities Of lace are used not
only for entire dresses, but to form
all-around tunics. apron tunics
and full length skirt panels, as well
as cape backs. These cape backs
are prominent in all the fall collec-
tion Of clothes, not only in frocks,
but in wraps as we'll.
Bodices on frocks Of silk or satin
may be entirely Of lace, or a gown
Of some silk fabric may have a long
lacy train, which is really q contin-
uallcs Of a slender panel at the
back. Black velvet and black satin
often are chosen for frocks that
carry panel trains Of black lace.
Rolande is one Paris designer who
Is featuring models Of this type.
The different houses set their mark,
as 1t were, on their lace trimmed
models through the way in which
they apply the trimming. For IN
stance, Charlotte, formerly Char
lotte ct Germaine, shows the lace
apron tunic. Martial ct Armand
exploit dresses with bodices Of black
lace and skirts Of black velvet.
Fur Vies
With Embroidery
A MOTHER use Of lace character
istic Of this house is the tunic,
which may be embroidered in gold or
silver, or trimmed with deep bands Of
fur. Molyneux also trims lace and net
dresses with fur. On one striking
model Of lace erm,ine tails are used
as a trimming. It ia q dancing
dress with @ rather short skirt, the
ermine tails edging the bottom.
Another instance Of the use OF
fur trimming on lace model is seen
in a striking frock Of white lace
in gold. A panel skirt
has each panel bordered with
beaver fur to depth Of about eight
cen inches. A brown velvet coat of
loose straight cut is worn with this
frock. The bottom Of the coat just
reaches the top of the fur banding
on the skirt and is gathered in puff
effect, which gives the appearance
of a long fur trimmed velvet coat.
Cheruit favors the Chantilly lace
dress with panel drapery. A new
model Of this type has drapery Of
the simplest possible sort caught
back to show 9orm-revealing foun-
dation Of black satin The low cut
bodice as Of Chantilly over q bre-
tene foundation of silver lace. The
trimming consists Of d garland of
red roses falling from the waist
line to She hem Of the skirt.
