BLACK lace old looking? We
- should say not! That's an old
time fallacy which modern fashion
has exploded.
When designers start in to create
a party frock that will reflect the
very embodiment of youth and
charm, it is delicate-as-a-cobweb
black lace they select to tell the
story. The program of fine black
lace is a vast one endless in inter-
probation. You'll love these lace
fatterers, especially the all-lace
gown so filny in mesh it looks like
a mere tracery of flower and leaf
patterning silhouetted against Shout
-ders and throat.
Take our word for it, if you want
costume that will outglamour any
that go dancing on a starry mid
summer night, choose one of these
black fantasies artfully styled in
terms of youth. With these wispy
lovely all-black lace creations the big
fashion is to play up pastel access
sories. To fetching little flower
hat in mellow pink together with
necklace and bracelet that repeats
the pink, add pink matching gloves.
1t will be equally effective with ac-
cents of pastel blue or orchid. If
you are black-and-white devotee,
wear chalk white jewelry, gardenias
for headpiece, with a gardenia
tied at your wrist.
The dresses that particularly lay
siege to the heart of youth for party
wear this summer are those airy
fairy creations of frothy white
starched tissue-like chiffon (pastel
tinted sheer makes up equally as
effectively that take on a profusion
of ruff1es and bands of exquisite
black lace. You can see in the il
lustration that gowns of this type are

Black Dress With
Cay Shawl Is New

With style sophisticates the black
dress is still a favorite. The latest
is to add spice of color with a
gay fanciful shawl. It's a clever
way of making a stylish black dress
look more stylish, especially if you
add hat to match the shawl.
Choose colorful printed crepe or
vivid sheer wooden for these COM
panion pieces. It is a most excit-
ing fashion, be assured, full of high
drama, especially if you acquire
wearing the shawl in a casual nom
chalant manner-practice the art of
wearing these whimsical fringed tri-
angles before your mirror. Lots of
room for romance and coquetry in
wearing the new shawls!

IF YOU have weight to consider,
you couldn't choose a more at
tractive and becoming fashion
than this gracious, softly detailed
dress (8679) with high.cut front
panel that diminishes the waist
line. and fattens the diaphragm.
1t fits beautifully over the bust,
thanks to gathers at the waistline
and beneath the cleverly shaped
yoke. The bow at the deep neck
line adds a soft, dressy touch,
without business.
The skirt is classically plain
and slim-hipped, with moderate
fullness at the hem. Make this
for bridge parties, luncheons and
club affairs, choosing chiffon,
georgette or wolfe, with frills of
lace or ruffling. And for all it's
expensive, distinguished appear
ance, this dress is easy to make.

heart-smashers of the most danger
Gus sort.
Note how youthfully these summer
fantasies play up the witchery of
black lace. The figure seated is a
picture in lovely dress that gen.
erously and artfully bands and ruff
fles billowy white chiffon with en-
chanting black lace. There are
animated rulings of the lace me-
andering about the wide skirt and
accomplishing an adorable off-shoul-
der decolletage. And here's good
news in that this delectable model
is available in white, pink, blue or
all black.
Parasols are coming back! We
are showing one to the left in the
picture made of handsome allover
lace and it's a beauty, the sort that
imparts allure to any dainty sum-
mer costume. Lots of lace on the
dress, too, you will note. The but
terfly appliques on the skirt under
write the up-to-the-minute chic of
this gown.
No story on lace would be COM
plete without telling of the entry
into the summer scene of the most
stunning sheer black hats magma
ton can picture. These diaphanous
connections of lace, or tulle, or chit
fon in dusky midnight black are
the big millinery sensation of the
season.
You can go as far as you like in
the matter of breadth of brim, in
fact, the wider the better the brim
that halos the head this season.
The use of sheerest of black lace
in connection with crisp thin horse
hair braid gives you the very trans
parency fashion insists upon for
hats.
