When Nancy Dances
Nancy's mother has Just finished
milking her n diuiee frock which she
Is to wear ut the Until party of her
dancing class. It Is filmy mid crisp
enough to inuke a guuzu-witigcd but
terfly envious If butterflies could har
bor envy and It Is exactly suited to
the Krncefiil ami slender little limld
and her gently frollcsoino dancing.
Long will Xtincy remember tho glory
of this frock nnd the painstaking work
nnd plnnnlng that make It such a suc
cess. Tho frock Is made of swlss-orgnndlc
flouncing, very sheer, very white and
very wide. Tho edge of tho flouncing
Is scalloped, and each scallop frames a
wreath of dainty embroidery, mndc of
small loaves and a single blossom.
Above this edge there aro smnll, widely
scnttered dots and abovo them a nar
row border of little embroidered blos
soms and leaves. The scalloped edge
appears only on tho skirt, for the dis
criminating taste of Nancy's mother
teaches her that much decoration Is out
of place in the dress of little children.
The skirt Is laid In shallow, even
plaits at the top and Joined to a plain
"baby" waist In which the em
broidered border appears just above
the waistline. The sleeves aro merely
Lace Crochet in Night Gowns
However much wo admire and won
der at tho marvelous Ingenuity that
adapts machinery to lace making, and
however pretty mnchlne-mado lace
may be, they can never hold tho same
place In the regard of women that
hand-made laces hold. This Is the rea
son that everyone Is so Industriously
crocheting and knitting and mnklng
tatting in these busy dnys. Even busi
ness women, on elevated trains or cars,
going to and from offices, often prefer
lace-muklng to reading, and probably
have about as much deflnlto knowledge
of current events as those who devote
themselves everyday to nowspnpers. At
all events they have something to show
for their time.
Iland-mado laces ure moro durable
than those made by machines as a
rule and they make the most accept
able of gifts to woman friends. Just
now yokes for gowns, or corset covers,
or combinations, appear to have seized
tho attention of those who know how
to crochet. The tlmo spent on them
Is well Invested for they will wear al
most a lifetime If made of strong,
mercerized cotton thread. Even thosu
of liner threads are strong.
Tho photograph shown here falls to
do Justice to tho handsome nightdress
mudo of white japonlca silk, Joined to
a voke and sleeves of crochet lace.
The yoke Is not nn unusunl pattern, so
that unyono familiar with tho work
will know how to make ono like It. A
beading and scalloped edge, made In
tho crochet, finishes the neck and
sleeves. Narrow, light blue satin rib
bon Is run through tho beading anA
knotted loops of the ribbon form tlm
pretty wuettes that set olT the sleeves
and yoke. A little edge, in tno same
hhndo of blue as tho ribbon Is croch
eted to the scallops.
A yoko of this kind Is likely to out
jPlpH&iitft
short, pointed flounces, edged with fine
val luco whipped on to a rolled
hem. ' A littlu cape bunging In points
from the shoulders and nt the front
and back, veils tho embroidery In tho
bodice nnd Is edged with val lace.
The Dutch neck is cut square and fin
ished with a tine, narrow edging of
I a co also.
Tho sush, which suits so well the
daintiness of tho dress, and the buoy
ant bow', which holds Nancy's hair,
are of wide, soft satin ribbon In light
sea green. Just why this particular
color and shade are so convincing as
the best possible choice for a gossa
mer dress, Is not to be fathomed but
they are.
Two petticoats, joined to u single
body to, make them hang oven, aro
worn under tho frock and they aro
made of organdie edged with val lace.
No 111111101' what splendor mny make
little hearts sing at tho party, nothing
can shine down the beauty of Nancy's
dress.
Vogue for Beads.
Tho vogue for beads bus Invaded
the sweater world. Belts nnd sashes
of beads aro used to encircle the
waist of the comfortablo sports coats.
wear nny of the sheer materials used
for the skirt of tho gown, but skirts
aro easy to replace.
Sleeves Appearing for Evening.
A noticeable feuture of tho dresses
seen In ti tour of an evening In New
York was tho sleeves, somo of whlclj
were quite long and no gown noticed
was sleeveless. An occasional non
decollete dress was noted. Ono elnb'
ornto one of tine black lace had thu
upper part of the corsago covering tho
neck and shoulders with ono thickness
of black chiffon, with sleeves also of
tho chiffon. The cloak accompanying
this was of white satin trimmed from
tho bottom to about the walstllno with
bands of black satin of graduated
widths, tho last being about an Inch
deep.
Using Bandanna Cottons.
The Introduction of the Southern
bandanna cottons has been one of tho
results of Americans looking to their
own country for Ideas to Incorporate
Into French designs. A leading mil
liner of Now York got In the Southern
resorts the Inspiration to Introduce
tho brilliant cottons of that country
Into fnshlonablo apparel. Nothing
would moro' delight the Southern mills
(ban a widespread use of the materials
which they make in such beautiful de
signs and such remarkably good weav
ing. An All-Day Crepe Costume.
A frock of crepo do chlno with a
coat to match, both, covered with a
stltchery douo In a striking design,
will serve for tho street and for unj,
Indoor affair before seven o'clfU.
