There is a touch of freshness in pretty
thin dress that is very alluring, and one
or two Scotch or American ginghams are
almost absolutely necessary. Broad
sripes Of color, with black lines, and
large plalds vie for selection with the
chene and broche patterns. Many
choose to have these cotton fabrics made
with simple blOuses and English skirts,
or tucked waists and straight skirts, but
others are not satisfied unless their cot
ton dresses are almost as elaborate as a
fOnard or crepe de chine. Where SIM
plcity is preferred the round waist is
made with only under-arm seams, gath
cred both back and front at the waist
line, with revers to the bust and with
collar OF Yandyke embroidery. The belt
is often made of ribbon, which is fast
ened with pretty buckle. The beauty
Of these ginghams Is in their clear, fresh
appearance and should be chosen with
thI end in view. Muddy plnks and
blues look soiled when first worn.
Gay print dresses are chosen from dark
red, buff or old rose shades and made all
IN one piece, hooked behind under a
fuInesS that conceals the fastening. The
front Of bodice is in cross folds, the COL
lar faring outward. The sleeves are
high and full. An eoru embroidered
batiste, fastened behind, has the left
side of the skirt brought up high on the
hips to show an embroidered underskirt.
The pretty plaid percales that are SER
viceable in color and texture are made
blss throughout. The bias bodice has a
blouse front, basque back, large sleeves
sud turned over collar. White piping
folds are used 10 edge collars and cuffs
for these dresses.
