THE VOGUE FOR FILET LACE

The day when every woman who
liked to do needlework had a sheaf Of
colored silks in her workstand Is
gone. COlored embroidery Of some
sorts is, Of course. still done. How
ever, there are other kinds Of needle
work that are more In vogue.
One Is filet lace. II Is interesting
to contemplate the length Of time that
ilet lace has been In high fashion.
both for the adornment Of woman and
the adornment OF her home. The
fashion does not dwindle, rather In
creases.
Just now there is a particular vogue
for the heavy italian filet lace. This
may very easily be initiated, simply
by using very heavy thread. This lace
forms scarfs for the table. Done In
deep cream thread, with a long knot
ted fringe at the ends, a scarf Of this
lace is effective on the living-rOom
table. Done In white thread or a
light cream IL forms a beautiful COW
ering for q luncheon table. Remember.
though, to have the thread Of a very
heavy quality, for therein lies the dis
tinction Of this particular sort Of lace.
Old English eyelet work is also in
vogue. The kind that one does with

No matter how much we may enjoy
the SHOWS and sports and formaIities
Of winter In town or country, there Is
one preoccupation Of that season
which is q perennial joy-the selec-

Harper's Bazaar.
The serges and silks and ehifons,

Perfect for grayish seaside days are
straight frOcks OF coarse linen in vivid

brOldered In heavy silk. Most apropos
for a warm day in town are gowns Of
a new fabric called cotton chiffon,
which may be knife or accordion
plated with delightful effect.
At tea time on an awninged veranda

eyelet embroidery Is sight to refresh
eyes which are jaded by the glare OF

Equally interesting was another wrap
Of tomato red, which was cut on the
lines Of the old-fashioned circular cape.
At intervals in the fabric was woven
q wide double stripe Of cream color,
which ran through the material Just
above the knees, just above the waist,
and again above the elbows, so that It
came out across the wide part Of the
cape that served as sleeves. This wrap

It is the prettiest combination Of blue

mock which appeared at the opening
OF this maisOn was made up Of two
panels Of red foulard, one at front and
one at back, and each OF these was
embroidered In an aIl-oyer pattern
with dark blue threads. The remain
