The return of. Spanish lace is noticeable, too, and sweeping veils are suggestive of the land of Car - Mop. Then there is the sudden in- terest in red. Red hosiery, red danc- ing frocks, red hats-even—all blaz- ing with flame color—are 'much of the mode. Some of the fine old Span- ish embroideries are appearing on evening gowns and are �,•ich in tone and fabric. A large quantity of plain serges in lightweight quality, called serge fou- lard, are offered in new tints to tans, grays, sable and Bordeaux. This last color, by the way, probably will con- tinue its vogue for next spring. In the woollen fabrics plain pat- terns dominate. However, a serge having a broken .hair -line stripe set at intervals of one inch is offered. Some narrow black and white stripes are shown and also checks. The'prin- cipal feature of the new materials is the fact that small patterns domi- nate. There are no large checks • et eccentric stripes; in other words, no conspicuous designs. A new idea is shown in a butterfly jabot made of net and edged with narrow Venise lace. Combinations of. net with Venise edges and very fine nets shirred on to a high stock foun- dation are shown in the fall lines. Georgette crepe plays a prominent part in high and in low neckwear. Some styles are trimmed with hand embroidery and narrow laces, and even plaited nets are applied as trimming on the Georgette crepe styles. All coats have a certain amount of "spring" and the majority flare. Some on modest lines for the mat- ronly figure and others in generous ripples. The circular flare which is by far the most graceful, ,by means of godets, side plaits and shirring are the favored ways of achieving the new fullness for the. skirt ,portion or basque of the coat. The flare does not always start on the waistline; this is especially true in th.e longer models, where the flare starts several inches above the normal line, or on the hips, when the Russian style is favored. hours of the morning a graining spear 1 Trent groped for it on,the ground eta ------� The influence of the Russian COs - came h 1 1 1 with shaking fingers No seen Mr. Dav'nant," he said. j Frequent and thorough disinfection B-1CTERIA-TREATED PEA'1' tame prevails in children's clothes. h ' t anu the ground, only a few feet from 1 peated slowly" "1 wonder—her name i hurt! • the first essentials in management.
