VOGUE OF LACE CHINA.

Lace china ware, and Dresden ware generally, are on the point of a revival after a long period during which ornamenta of this kind were

discarded for the products of pea sant art. Beautiful dancing girls and Court ladies are the figures for which there is most demand, The work is, of course, celebrated for the detail in which clothes, figures, features, and even set scenes are executed, while it seems almost in credible that the fine white lace skirts should be made out of china. The colourings are beautiful, par ticularly the blues and pinks, and the frocks are mostly decorated with tiny china roses. The revival also affects hand-pierced china. The most noted English artist in this particular work died recently, and some of his beautiful white and gold vases will fetch as much as £40 apfece in West-end shops. The craft is a tedious one,, for the de- signs are cut out very finely with a small knife. Collectors are on the track of pieces known to exist, for few artists care to tackle the work, and the amount done is negligible.

Colours in the knitted suits are as varied as they appear in the printed suita. Rose and white is exceptionally smart in the knitted suits 18 are powder blue and white, fade green and white, red and white, dark blue and white, yellow, orange, grey, and black or other combined with white shades.

In the printed bathing suits the results are often dazzlingly lovely. All sorts of patterns are to be found varying from the sprawly

SUMMER COATS.

Almost All Fabrics Are Used.

The summer coat, like the rest of the warm weather wardrobe, shows great variety in line, detail, fabric and colour. There is a coat for every occasion, even when it is not purchased along with its matching frock.

Bathing caps take on a new air of importance. The helmet shapes that fasten with such jaunty air under the chin are still seen in all the vivid shades and are appro- priately chosen for the two-piece knitted suits. But the printed gilks, taffetas and satins as well as plain shades in silks demand capes of greater distinction.
