I Attest style reports bring the
~ interesting news that lace, that
artful fatterer of womankind, has
gone into partnership with fabric.
You'll love the new dresses that are
now being fashioned part of lace
and part of fabric. You will be
amazed at the multitudinous ways
in which this idea is being worked
out. In fact designers have seized
the opportunity to create fashions
along this line with such keen en-
thusiasm the movement has become
of tremendous influence throughout
costume design.
Women who aspire to dress be-
comingly and in perfect taste with
out show or ostentation will find that
any one of the three lace-with-fab-
ric gowns pictured will prove exact
ly to their liking. The model shown
conferred in the picture combines
lace with sheer wool. The lace
yoke Grapes softly to meet the "
line of the wide corselet inset mid
riff to give the new narrowed-in
waistline. The gored skirt and far
ing hemline give fashions pet sill
houette.
The soft graceful lines of the dress
to the left in the group have a de-
ightful knack of slimming the fig
ure. Lace is used around the neck
line and up on the new below-elbow
sleeves. Cleaning buttons set off
the shirred bodice. Here is the sort
of dress that "prettifys" you every
time you wear it. Being conserva-
lively styled it is not too dressy for
daytime affairs yet it is dressy
enough to tune to occasion of after
noon tea, bridge party or the
matinee.
In the charming gown to the right
the popular contrast-bodice-and-skirt
theme is carried out beautifully with
silk crepe for the skirt and lace for

Ornate Sweaters
For Evening Wear

Very fashionable is the formal
two-piece evening dress that tops
foor-length skirt of black velvet or
stiff silk with a sweater sparkling
with sequin or crystal embroidery
or with a basque jacket of rich
brocade or sumptuous metal cloth.
The sweaters may be as simple or
as elaborate as you wish. Some are
fashioned with low decollete neck
lines, others button up close to the
throat. They may glitter all over
with sequin embroidery and such,
or they are made to take on the
formal look via a row of brilliant
rhinestone buttons that fasten close
up to the neckline where they are
met with a cunning little turnover
collar made all of sequins and rhine
stone and metal threads.

bodice is lined throughout and the
skirt is gored for smart and becom-
ing fullness. The self-fabric frogs
that fasten 1t are conferred with
rhinestone clasps.
Choose any of the three dresses
illustrated and you will be showing
fine judgment. Regarded as founda-
ton dresses to serve as background
for respondent jewelry accents you
will find them of the type that is
indispensable in the properly select
ed wardrobe. Granted that black is
always safe, and for the most part,
first choice, yet when it comes to
color one cannot but find that the
-plus-fabric gown carried out in
monotone blackberry hue, or tulip
black, or in wine, in deep forest
green or the new grayed blues or
green's, presents very persuasive
argument.
There is another lace-and-fabric
idea that is simply taking the fash
ion world by storm. It is that of the
simple black sheer wool or crepe
afternoon frock that is trimmed with
narrow black lace frilled about the
neckline and sleeves, also about the
wide-faring skirt hemline. If there
be a bustle-back sash of self-dress
fabric, it too will be edged with wee
lace frills. 1t is a catchy theme,
we can assure you.
One cannot too urgently stress the
use of black lace. Perhaps the
Spanish influence in fashions has
brought about the present black
lace craze but whatever the cause
the fact remains that designers are
turning out an endless array Of
dresses, blouses, jackets, even hats
and bags made of lace. A clever
fantasy is the huge black lace but
terfly bow worn at the decollette
neckline of the black velvet or crepe
dinner or formal evening gown,
caught with glittering jeweled clip
or brooch.

Yes, her mirror reflects her chic
look. To achieve the perfect "look, !"
it's the correct and intriguing ac-
cessories that accomplish most of
it. In this instance, the hat worn
by this fair one is one of the new
small styles with draped jersey brim
and fur crown. 1t is trimmed with
f1y-away multi-colored feathers. The
color splurge of this intriguing
chapeau adds pep to her black seal
coat. Her gloves and capacious
suede bag which she has opened up
to call attention to it's elegant inte-
rior decoration, are of mulberry
color to match the brim of her hat.

The formal opening OF the Panama
Canal in 1914 was pushed of Of
front-page news by the advent OF
the World War.
Twenty-Five years ago this past
August, It's quarter of century Of
service to the maritime nations OF
the world shared a similar fate be-
cause of the imminence Of the war
that is now being waged in Europe.
So Injured had we become to the
picturesque and the unusual on our
Caribbean cruise and journeyings
along the west coast of South
America this summer, We almost
felt they had become the usual. But
seeing Uncle Sans clean-cut, reso-
lutte khaki-clad doughboys guarding
the approaches to the locks of the
Panama Canal gave us as much of
a thrill as did the realization that
we were at "the crossroads of the
world" seeing in actuanty the hope
that started Columbus across the
Atlantic Ocean.
Every one Of us felt that there is
no sight in the eyes of an American
comparable to the Panama Canal,
unless it is the Goddess of Liberty.
Both typify the supremacy Of Aneri-
can initiative over obstacles in max
ing a transcendent ideal of reality.
A Monument to Engineers.
1t has been said that the Panama
Canal is the result of "the greatest
liberty man ever took with nature" I"
AS the supreme engineering Job of
modern times in its connection of
the Atlantic with the Pacific, 1t Is

it could not be more pure. To
realize the boon this is one has to
be continuously thirsty upon short
sightseeing excursions, as we 50
often we're, because there was un-
certainty as to the purity of the
