IN LANE, CRAWFORD'S.

An exquisite collection of frocks of lace and printed ninon, for garden party or other smart after- noon wear is now on view in Lane, Crawford's. Many of these dresses show the lovely rhythmic movement flowing out at the back, which has been introduced by, Charuit, and you will find that nearly every one shows ruffles in one form or an- other. A very graceful gown of stone beige lace, which is worn over a shell pink slip, has a double tiered skirt which flows out behind, and a ceinture of stitched georgette in warm pink beige with a dia manté buckle Lake nearly all the models in this collection the dress. is cut with no sleeves. Trailing back panels, cut like those of a narrow tail coat, and edged with plissé ruffes, distinguish a dress. of black ninon printed with apricot coloured flowers and worn over an Capricot slip. The bodice is cut with a little contée also edged with plissé frills.

Skirts fall close to the figure. Moulded hip liner and long wide-cuffed fleeves are in vogue.

Another charming and unusual. dress is evolved from beige and white patterned lace worn over palo beige, which shows the same double tiered skirt and longer back. Green and pink flowered minon emphasises the new importance of the basque and also has an interest- ing rhythmic backward movement.
