Then the thin water- proof covering can be spread over the hat and fastened securely. And have you seen the boots with waterproof cloth uppers? They are quite a find for the women who must watch her expenditure closely, for it means that the expense of new boots ~--when old ones are water stained before they are worn out--and the temptation to pay care fare to save the same boots, con both be put off. These cloth-topped boots that are waterproofed are quite as dainty in appearance as the more fragile sort, and they are not expensive. The woman in mourning nowadays {| too, does not feel troubled at the | coming pf a rainstorm, for if she is | up-to-date she wears waterproof { crepe. This is even softer and more pliable than the old-fashioned sort that was ruined with the least damp- ness, and is therefore more desirable in every way than the stiff and fra- gile sort. | DECORATIONS IN THE HOME Especial Feature Of the Moment Is the Lavish Use That Is Being Made Of Lace. Lace assumes more and more the important place / in the domain of home furnishing. It is so import- (ant that upholsters have to employ lacemakers and are obliged to make lase purchases on a considerable scale. Among other things, pianos and windows are draped with lace, leav- ing room for legitithate upholstery to come afterward. All styles are available. The "renaissance" com- bines with lace of quite modern ori- gin. And, combining with all and second to none in fashion or effect, is the old-fashioned crochet. The present taste for crochet denotes a remarkable revival in this kind of thing. Another revival besides it, and making common cause with house and especially drawing-room decora- tion, is the equally old-fashioned net- ting, i fes of handwork has been left almost exclusively to. fishermen and their wives. It served for fishing nets and that was about all But now it is com- ing back as fast as it can to the place it occupied, let us say, a hun- dred years ago, in the repertoire of fancy work for women. Then was the time 'when dainty slipper-cased feet were put forward and used in the service of the kind of fancy work known as knitting. Now machinery does a great deal of the work which human fingers aided by the foot used to de. machinery, it remains a fact that old-fashioned netting is a distinct re- vival and that its presence in draw- ing rooms throws an air of fashion around them: ~~ The'effect of embroi- dery upon it are now more artistic than of yore, nature as well as pie- tures often serving as models.
