1T is the clever dress designer who
knows at a given time just what
season Of the year It is. In her
work she is always months ahead of
what the calendar records
During the swapping. clustering. cold
days of March she is intently fashioning
the hluiest of summer gowns, and her
thoughts are all OF Iaces and lawns and
sheer embroideries.
Then when it gets around to summer
heat it is the winter frocks and fur gar
ments that she thinks Of. Is II any won
der that the dress designer and the wo-
man Of fashion are constantly on the
alert and always seeing things ahead?
1t may be a bit out Of season. but there
IS a certain satisfaction in planning
summary frocRs during the cold, windy
days OF that most treacherous month Of
the year-March.
The linen gowns which are being de-
signed right now will be a particular
feature Of the summer MODES. They

lace or show much artistic embroid-

two classes, the shirtwaist suits. and
The dressier frocks appropriate for aft

An effective fashion for dressy linen

Linen dresses embroidered in mer-
cerized floss are to be the height OF
fashion Sometimes the embroidered de-
sign is worked in narrow bands outlin-
ing the seams OF the skirt
And then again, It is used in a con-
ventional. trailing design. Linen skirts
with an embroidered border are also the
vogue, the border being introduced in a
narrower band on the shirtwaist.
OF course. the dress designer has long
ago ceased to worry her head over the
spring tailor-made gowns. She decided
about them as long ago as December
and January.
But every woman does not know Of
her decisions and the general mass OF
gown for some weeks yet
