Laces and Embroideries.

The Jace frock which shared Il wide
vogue with the crepe de chine frock in
Paris last summer, will continue it's
way this season with undinlinishcd
- popularity. Lace has been interesting
all winter. 1t has constituted some OF
the most striking gowns that ! ave ap-
peared on the stage-notanlE Eanvins
creation worn by Jeanne ''rorost, III
Les Allies Brisecs." which was wide
slsirted affair Of blond lace and flesh
colored lame, and the gown OF blond
lace combined with Hudson Bay sable.
which was designed by Doucet and
worn by Gabrielle Dorziat in lhe Sue
cessful revival Of lie Isoi'
Paul Marescot, who is one of the
largest lace manufacturers in France
and, perhaps. in the world, has created
several striking novelties this season.
Some Of these are entirely handmade
and others are hand embroidered on 4
net foundation. Thousands Of French
women make livelihood at this deli
cate work which they accomplish
with miraculous swiftness. The new
collection includes thread lace. all the
silk laces and embroideries on color
cd net, chiffon and organdie. Some
times the color is used for the pattern
and sometimes for the background
and q steady increase in the use OF
colored lace is seen. There are some
very brilliant combinations OF fame
and bright copper color which recall
the laces that Cheruit used for even
ing dresses last season. 4 colored silk
embroidery with gold tracery on
black net background is among the
new designs One Of these is called
les bles de Ia victoire" and it has
design Of gold wheat ears on fine black
net or chiffon. Another. novelty is 4
fine al-over design in gold or silver
metal threads, and still another has
background or chiffon in many differ
ent shades with a fine all-over lace
design in black or white.
Among the metal laces is very
handsome one Tor evening gowns,
which has already had great success
among several of the leading dress
making houses 1t has deep band OF
coral colored net with 4 border of
handmade gold lace in rich design.
The so-called fuseu laces in metal are
made entirely by hand and may be
had in silver. copper and gold.
Other laces for which popularity is
'frelicted by this house are the blond,
which looks like Spanish lace Milan,
and filet, which is sometimes used
alcnc and sometimes combined with
. other laces. There Is an extremely
fine fllet which recalls the lacey effect
OF Shetland wool.
Among the embroidered materials is
n double chiffon. one side OF which is Il
= pomegranatc red and the other white.
The red side is embroidered in fine
Oriental motif in black and white
stitc!ery which almost covers the
chiffon a very original combination
indicative of mode of brilliant ef-
fects is lace of cellophane with silk
thread, which, one is surprised TO learn
is formed Dy q twisted strip OF toilc
ciree. This is interesting to the mill
ners as are also the wide bands Of col
ored silk and metal threads which
seem 10 have been made for small en-
hroidered toques.
Among the embroidered materials is
q very wide latitude in design. Motifs
of Greek, Gothic, Japanese and Chi
.nese origin have been used as well III
n design inspired by the Cubist school.
