WOMEN'S INTERESTS Thank Goodness Women Not Transparent As Seem If Thrir Pretentions Were As Ku*ily Seen Through ay Their I,ace* Half the Mystery of Them Would he Forever I.ost It Ik Said II y \ 11 KK\ L\MOM 'CoitHaht 1124. B* Tn# Adtanct) New York. May 17?!f the pre tensions of woim-ii wore as easily seen through an the laces which will adorn most of the summer frocks, half (he mystery of womankind \\elllil he lost. Vision nowadays, however, goes only so far wheu it encounters a slip. In the matt r or pretentions, the Blip is encoun tered earlier than in the matter of dress. At any rate, present day chests and closets are filled with lace trimmed garments. This is to he expected in the case of June brides, hut it holds good even with those whose hope chests have had time to become depositories for matrimonial regrets. The French designers are lavish ing laces of every description 011 their summer afternoon and evening frocks. One of the most charming examples brought to this side re cently is an afternoon dress of dark brown georgette trimmed with Wat ney lace of the same color, which ex tends in a long V from the bateau neck line to the wal.tt and which has inverted V shaped inserts of the same material extending from the arm pit to the skirt hem. The similar Inverted V trimming of the Rklrt is followed in an even ing dress of white satin which Is adorned with silver lace. In the bouffant mode, the skirts frequently are trimmed with deep borders of silver on black and medallions of silver lace, picked out and emphas ized by embroidery of pearls and ?bright beads. Perhaps the most striking model seen recently however, is a creation of Molyneaux, who makes a speci alty of a trimming of Racine lace. This beautiful costume?for the hat and scarf all harmonize?is of light! gray muslin which owes its charm 1 to two flounces of black Racine lace, closely resembling chuntllly, over-1 laid from the low waist line to the hern. The ends of the scarf are aim- I ilarly encrusted. a* is the brim of the grey enpe line hat. There can be doubt of tlio popu larity of the pnnels, lace or other wise. Onn clever young woman seen recently on the Avenue achiev ed n striking panel effect by means of a bright flame colored scarf. Wearing a blue Poiret twill tailor made. she had wrapped the scarf 1 tightly around her neck and but toned the long trailing end under j the jacin so that it fell, in a wide; colorful panel from the bottom of the ? short coat to the hem of the' skirt. The otherwise common place costume, by these touches of color j at neck and skirt, was lifted far : from the level of mediocrity. Of the other trimmings, bttldftS laces, hair and hide are the most novel. One frock of French deriva tion consists of a straight bodice of cloth of sliver worn over a black slip with the skirt adorned with a dozen complete horse tails, dyed red, gray and white, hanging from the hip line to the hem. Belts, especially those with sport costumes, have ceased to be a mere string of leather and have broadened to a width of at least two Inches. Tho buckles usually are of Moyen age design.
