extending the full width Of the collar
and turned away at the ends TO exe-

Another shirtwaist quite as novel NJ
the cretonre design Ia an uncertain
shade Of green with Just enough of a
white cast TO suggest linen book

effects arranged neatly at the throat

this new linen will be extremely popu-

for the hemstitched-tucked organdy.
Falling from the yoke over the opening
OF the bodice is q cascade OF white lace,
contrasting beautifully with the Rus

white silk tassels droop.
The Idea OF softening the heavy laces
used upon delicate fabrics with foun-
