As well as those who took part In the
gorgeous pageantry which was staged
so picturesquely, we are coming to
know more about lace than we have
ever known before.
When all has been said and done,
the present season will 20 down In
history as an era In which lace really
came Into Its own-as a period which
marks the development OF new ap-
probation for lace, new feeling,
new lace sense as 1t were. Up to now,
In the minds Of most of US lace had Its
limitations was rather q luxury to be
reserved for occasions of more or less
dress-up tendency. Henceforth. with
modern laces being that versatile they
range from sturdiest sportsy cotton
and hardy linen types to be used In
fabric way. to laces so delicate and
of so fragile beauty the traditional
cobWeb will have to look to Its Tau
rels, theories In regard to the restrict
ed possibilities Of Nace have had to
give way to lasting conviction that
the practicabllity and the adaptability
OF lace to every phase OF fashion,
measures up 100 per cent to that OF
any other member In the fabric realm.
So 1t Is we find lace going every
where this season. no matter how for

lace, either cotton or linen, you can
choose nothing smarter for your tai
