NEW NET AND LACE DRESSES
Embroidered in Color, Made Over
Contrasting Foundations, Both
Youthful and Attractive.

In their effort TO add further nov
city to the lace idea the Paris dress
makers launched strange kinds OF COM
binations. For instance, blue serge
dresses are trimmed with blue lace,
usually in an opposing shade of blue,
as navy blue serge with royal blue
lace. Dark green velvets are COM
bined with green lace, rust-colored
brccades with rust lace, and so on
through numerous combinations the
clever Paris maker varies the lace
idea.
Net as well as lace dresses are
made in simple chemise effects.
Straightline dresses of white net en-
broidered in color and made over con-
trasting foundations are both youth
full and attractive.
One of Cheruit's big successes has
been an orange lace. dress Madeleine
ct Madeleine have repeated many
times a model made in dark bottle
green lace, and Cabot Soeurs consid-
er their rust-cOlor laces the most
fashionable Offering of the season.
1t Is hut natural that nets should
follow in the wake of laces. They.
too. are oftentimes bright colored.
If. however. they are black they
achieve the necessary brightness by
embroideries, which may be red or
copper hued.

Five and six-inch laces, dyed any

full With Dyed Fabrics.
Darkest Greens, Deep Browns, Rust
Reds, Golden YeIloss and Deep
Blues Favored.

Apparently one need have no fear
become old-fashioned as far as lace is
concerned, az any rate, states a Paris
correspondent. This is extremely
gratifying at this time, because new
things have sprung up overnight like
mushrooms to such an extent during
the last few years that we are glad
TO have something to which we may
pin our faith, If 1t is only a party
dress.
Back OF all this lace agitation is a
well-known propaganda in behalf OF
the French industry. and this propa-
gand,i has been launched at time
when the market is almost bare Of
merchandise. II is. therefore, not TO
sell goods now, as there are few laces
TO be had, but il is TO create move
ment In favor Of laces I'm order that
when the new stocks are ready the
world will be clamoring for them.
Among the most interesting fea-
lures of the present fashions are
the dyed lace dresses. Early last
summer there was evidence or a
strong revival of lace through the
launching of many black and white
lace dresses at the spring and sum-
mer race meets. Deauville in July
and August also proclaimed the
vogue of lace; but it was left for the
Paris dreSsmaker to spring something
new at the opening of her season.
With lace on the crest of the wave

laces of the darkest green's, deep

an attractive brown taffeta dress, with
