This vogue for white is very pronounced, and while it means exâ€" pense in the way of lace and laundry bills, it is nevertheless so pretty that you do not begrudge the money and the trouble. The making of the little lace cuff is not quite as much an"ndustry as the making of the lace collar, and the prett‘est possible plece of fancy work is the knitting of cuffs and collars to turn over the new fancy sleeves, The outer or upper material is the beaviee one, while the lower or unâ€" der material is of lighter grade.
