Under the influence OF the craze TOT
cired Tor waxed) things even the sheer
summer fabrics have not escaped.
M0ussellnes. chlffons and laces all are
wnxed. In fact. every sort OF material
Is being cired. All the new laces are

Greut success Is predicted for
mousseline clre, which Is being used
by very many important French
houses. A lovely dress IN satin cire
made by Agnes Of Paris shows the
bodice Of the dress In black satin
with little Huted frIlls Of white nous
sellne cire.
A lovely dress from DOucet shows
the use OF white crepe geOrgette and
black satin clre, the white georgette
forming the overdress and the black
cire satin the foundation. The over
dress is beautifully embroidered IN
white crystal beads threaded on q
rather conrse black thread which re1
suits in a charming effect.
Among the cool summer frocks the
black lace dress still Is immensely
popular, and second only In favor ID
the black lace wrap. In many ini
stances one matches the other. A very
smart French model Is a cape devell
oped In black lace, jet spangles and
embroidered tulle with lovely bands
Of jet trimming the shoulder capd
yoke.
Still another fancy OF the summer
season is the black taffeta dress with
wrap to match. Sometimes the SOM

chine, green being the tavorite illui
minatlng shade.

clothes, as they must fit into n par
