ACE, a favorite material down
- through the centuries, is this
season soaring to new heights in the
fashion domain. Lace nowadays is
being used in more ways than was
thought possible in yesteryears. 1t
is entering into every phase of fash
ion.
This could not be so were it not
for the amazing variety of laces
now being manufactured-laces so
versatile that they can be used as
dependably and satisfactorily as
any fabric.
1t challenges the imagination to
realize that the usefulness and
adaptability of lace has been made
to cover such vast scope. Today this
fabric is being fashioned into every
kind of apparel-bathing suits, red
ingotes, hats, gloves, and most sig
nifcant of all, stunning tailored jack
ct suits. Lace used for suits looks
as if it might be a choicely pat
termed open weave mesh, but it isn't.
It's sturdy. Next time you go on a
shopping tour, look at these new me-
ticuloIsly tailored suits. You will
see them in white or colors, and
in navy and black.
There seems to be no end to the
enchanting fashions that are being
made of lace. Citing a few of the
newest lace entries, there is the
long evening coat of pastel Alencon
lace over a matching sheer dress,
also the practical-to-wear daytime
redingote of fabriclike cotton lace,
and lace capelets and stoles that are
newer than jackets to wear with
sheer summery dresses.

You can get white rose buttons
too.

and the over-the-shoulder top is
as feminine as can be.

sure to wear your most hattering

TiSSue-Like CrinkIe Sheers
To PredOminate in Summer

The major trend is "sheers for
summer" There is a sheer char
acter about most of the new sum-
mer fabrics. Perhaps this trend is
most notable in the new tissue-like
crlnkle sheers. These come in dark
as well as light flowery prints and
therefore are practical, being wash
able and ever so good looking.
Cloque organdies in delicately
fowered prints, marquisettes, tissue
voiles, processed so as to be non
wrinkable, are all on the first-in-
fashion fabric list.
The topic-making conversation
throughout style centers at the pres
ent moment is black sheers for sum-
mer. Best-dressed women are
voicing widespread favor for cos
tunes done in black sheer. Per-
haps this is natural reaction to the
wild color extravaganza that has
taken the world of fashion by storm.
But whatever the reason, the fact
remains that thin dresses and suits
for summer are being given an
earlier-than-usual promotion. Black
sheers are referred to as "siren
black, "black magic."k
Hats of black shirred net, some
huge of brim, will be worn this sum-
mer. Milliners are also turning out
handsome large hats made of ex-
quisite black lace. The vogue for
black sheer is even extending to
hosiery.

inexpensive and is wearable. 1t is
just such simple frocks as this that

Striking Prints
News for Summer
CeIf-Tabric trimmings Add
Color. Life.
Bv CHERIE NICHOLAS

Prints this season are being used
in many novel ways. The idea of
self-fabric trim is the basic theme.
Lending beauty to even the simplest
daytime print frocks are decorative
pockets and other trimming details
Of allOVeT shirred self fabric With
equal attractiveness, other pockets
are made of self-fabric ruching.
If you make your own summer
print frocks you will find these little
touches are easy to add, and they
really work wonders in giving a
frock a professional look. Another
clever trick is to get some of the
printed material finely knife-pleat-
ed, from which you can cut yokes
and pockets.
A neat self-fabric treatment that
you may like to try is the covering
of button molds. These do not have
to have the expert finish of buttons
to be used as fasteners. By tack
ing these covered molds firmly to-
gether you can form cunning little
decorative pockets matching them
with designful button motifs at the
neckline and on the belt.
Beautiful effects are achieved by
cutting out flower motifs of the print
and forming border of them to fin
ish off edges of yokes, pockets,
sleeves, or hemlines.
However, it is the use of print
appliques for evening wear that is
making news. Gowns of monotone
sheers are splashed here and there
with appliques of enormous flowers,
cut from the spectacular prints
which are so fashionable for dine
and dance party frocks. The flow
ers are so deftly applied that they
look as if they were handpainted on
their sheer backgrounds. In some
instances, the skirt is entirely of the
print, with a single cutout flower
applied to the bodice, or vice versa.
So you see-prints trimmed with
self prints are big fashion news for
summer, equally as important and
applicable to daytime as to evening
apparel.

that lace and pleats are continuing
to play charming duet in the new
summer style picture.
The model to the left is a slim
ming dress in a sheer lace. The
bodice has low V-neck in a fiat
tering line. Shirring at the waistline
gives it easy fullness. The skirt
Whittles the figure into slimness with
its stitched pleats. Imagine this
lovely model in any color you like,
for it is available in all the newest
shades.
To the right in the picture lace
dress for the fashionwise woman is
shown. 1t is type that may be
worn to bridge parties, afternoons
at the club and so on. 1t is a classic
for the woman who would dress be-
comingly and tastefully. The skirt
is knife pleated. The bodice is de-
tailed with grosgrain cord bow tie
at the neckline. The dress is made
OF a delicate looking lace, softly fem
mine and very practical.
Centered in the picture is jacket
dress in lace. The dress with jack
ct can be worn on formal or less
gala occasions. 1t is always a well
come fashion, especially if it is lace.
This model, in dainty fower-pat-
termed lace, has a mite of jacket
entirely scalloped with tiny coll
lar and pulled sleeves. The cum
ming jacket is wearable with other
gowns. 1t would be especially eff
fective worn with a black net eve
ming gown or with a flower print
that repeats the jacket color.
