There is Scarcely if ever a lemon when lace and embroidery can be said te be "out of fashion," but there are seasons when less is used then at the present moment, when the simplest of gowne is embellisbted with some env, broidory or lace and all sorts and de - militants of both are exhibitea in all too tempting variety.

QUANTITIES OF LACE USED. There -le a fee greater quantity of lake used in modern dress than has been the case for many years, and veri- table old lace is alwaya made use of when possible. Lace shawls, la,ee flounces. lace veils, lace lappets and caps tlutt have been in treasure boxes for many and =my a long year, aro uow 'displayed with pride and delight. The feshionable tunic provides a capital opportunity for the lace scarfs and, if big, eiough, the wedding veil. inci- dentally, the lace scarf as a scarf is iu great demand. Combined with net or voile de soie or any of the sheer ma- terials now so fashionable, lace flounces are utilized while the shawls serve a good purpose for the draped over- dee& Old family lace is., however, not such an enviable possession as it is often consedered, and the up-to-date woman contends that, while she adores old lace she can often get better results from the most modern designs, and in the Imitation rather than the real, when the gown is to be made entirely or iu greater part, of lace. Tke new leoes are. ex.quisite in pattern and texture, whether in the all-over flouuce, band or tunic. Often' there is embroidery work- ed over the laoe-heavy eilk embroidery ,colore, gold or silver, or in pearl end rhinestones. This seems too tnuch to the eoeservative to.ste, when the lace itself is so exquisite in pattern, but this is en age of oyer -elaboration, and what might at other times seem too heavy and too elaborate, now looks only smart and effeotive. Lace is combined with many mater- ials. Satin, silk, crepe de Chine and bro- tetiget-ell are utelized no foundations while cloth of gold and cloth of silver rauet not be excluded from the list. All white or color for the foundation is de- cided by individual taste. This pre- vents monotony and is one reason why the fashions this season are so varied and otriking. Lace and brocade are mod charming together, and brocade as a 'material is so extremely smart at present that tbere ia every color to choose frdm. A dainty and attractive gown of pink and white satin brocade- dee,p rase pink -has an overdress or tunic of fine white lace.

Tulie and lace were alwaes an effec- tive and popular combieation, and there Is senaothing espetially attractive in the filmy softness of these two materials. et' would seem. more difficult to carry out the fashionable severe lines in lace abd tulle, but the succeseful dressmaker of to -day is not to be daunted by any euch problem, and at, once designs a model that is distinctive and smart eyen when in contrast to the semit and Fever° lima of the plain satin and silk gowns. Picturesque and dainty adjec- tives that hest deaekibe this type of gown, while the satin belt and long sa- tin ribbons and the hand of marabout around the ehouldere lend the towhee that makes it smart and becoming It is a dietinetly youthful model and le not suitable for any 'Woman who has not slender, graceful lines. A more elaborate style is the gown with big satin train of different colOr, but eo lees smart and effeetive. The waist and short round skirt are of white tulle, the skirt finished with silk ball fringe, and there is an entbroidered band aerossi the waist finished with the same trimming. A. girdle of eatin and the long train Of satin are in striking eontrast. A spray of deep pink rosee on the skirt and a smaller spray of lighter pink roses at the left shoulder are an added fin - Leh. The satin train is placed high at the back in rather a Wateau style, and while it forms the back of the skirt it can be made quite sepitarte and the gown is finished without it.

Thia belt, again, must be leaned iu front, stt the Rides and back', for unless a woman 'le extremely slender the belt will slip up and look hopelessly crumpled and "dowdy."

Ono of the lateat noveltiee is the crepe de chine gown eov- ered with embroidered tulle net or lace. It has somewhat the same effect as lace and tulle together -light and filmy, but with more substance than the tulle. A twist charming model for dinner or tea gown is of crepe de chine pinkish heliotrope in color with averdrese of embdoidered tulle. 'embroidered in the color of the crepe de ehine. At the back a deep fall of lace falls below the high waist line end covers a wide girdle set with colored stones and heavy with em- broidery in gold or eilver.

The introduction of it brilliant, color in sash .and ribbons often makes a too dull or sombre gown smart ond effeetive, and in this combining of materials often tbe one tone of color is kept and vivid contrast is given by the ribbons or belt. Changeable effects are becoming more and more fashionable and the newest and stnartest models display this style in all materials. Evening gowns and the more elaborate &unmet. afternoon gowne show tide fashion in, linings and trimmings. PRACTICAL FASHION SUG- GESTIONS FOR LIMITED INCOMES. The all too popular satin will soon have to be discarded for cooler ma- terial, bettee suited for summer wea- ther, but no woman who has become in- itiated into the comfort of a silk or satin costume is content without some- thing on the same order to take its place. Crepe de Chine and pongee are far cooler materials than satin or taf- feta silk, and the same models are equally effective ia these fabrics. A coat and skirt costume itt so practical that gradually all materials are coming into favor made in thietstyle, while the separate waist makes possible an end- less variety without materially in- creesing the cost. All wash materials are to be worn this summer, and the mercerized cottons are wonderfully effective. There i9 the chance that after laundering the silky appearance will be lost, but if a dark color or figured design is chosen the gown will not require constant laun- dering, or evet dry eleaning, any more than does a foulard.

Butt though love may make the world ro 'round, it haen't yet been har- nessed to the solving of problems of ctreas, No, it taees good, sound com- man eense, that most uncommon sort of sense, to arrive at satisfactory results. The bride, or her naamma; or other ad- viser, must decide, upon her trousseau. Brides no longer go in for unlimited dozens of each item of lingerie, choosing rather what is likely to be. enough while the proftent m,ode. lasts. If presented with extra quantities of fine lace, or other material, it ie well to keep it me til it Is required As for dresses,•the same care and con- sideration is neceasitry for the brktes of averege means. It is always a question -with the bride of slender paeans whethee to have a fine bridal robe at all costs. She must deeide that herself, lf she has alwaye looked -forward to perhaps it is best to have it.

Many brides will no doubt set- tle -upon wearing their going -away rigs. Those, however, who are to weer in more 'or less conventional attire, haite no particularly ne wrules to follow.

A really simple and girlish wed- ding dress of soft satin., chiffon oyer sa- tin or other fabric,. is transformed into a regal robe by the addition of a court train of race over satin„ broeated velvet on chiffon, or silver tissue or eine:weld- ered silk or satin. If the dress lee very dainty, tending tp fussiness, the train may, well be of plain, rich satin. Over this the veil of lace, or tulle, easts an exquisitely eoftening effect. Lace flouncing, if of old family lace especially, is much prized, but save for a very tall and slender bride it must not be put on straight around. Many of the smart wedding dresaos ate like other modish frocks, with the skirt carried •rather high, and the kitne- no bodice of soine filmy fabrie•eut with a Dutch neck. If yoke ana stock prove more dairable, fine net or ehiffon are stretched plaimly; these are newer than figured late. Cord girdles.are seen, and if themes silver in the dress, the girdle- eord is likely to be of silver. THE VEIL The bride's veil may be draped in a needier of ways.

With this turban effect the fact piece, which is removed at the altar is dis- pensed with altogether.

The sinner has to deal directly with God. David said, "This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him. out of all hie troublesfe (Pea. 34:6). The publican said, "God he merciful to rae a ainner" (Luke 18;13), and he weut home a &wed man. The road of confesaion is a dlfficult one te travel. It te frequent- ly the case, when trouble arises, that the.

Take 'away all iniquity. This and the follow- ing expressions, including the third veree form the prayer whieh the prophot urg- ed the people of Israel to offer. The above petition involvee two things; a confession of sin, and an earnest' desire for ite removal. The people had reaelted a point where they deetred deliverance from "all iniquity."
