turned her back upon the school
room and made tentative excur-
sions iuto the world OF grown-up
people during the summer. Now she is
making her bow to society and claim
ing as hers by right the attentions and
social pleasures which she has hitherto
only witnessed through a crack in the
schoOlroom door. as IL were
She takes a vivid interest in her first
real grOwn-up dress. whether she be the
daughter OF a millionaire or of parents
TO whom the coming out OF a daughter
means anxiety as to the cost OF gowns.
The gowns illustrated may be made
up in such materials as may be within
ones means. taking pains TO have these
materials Of the same softness or stiff
ness. whatever the fabric may be IN
quality and price.
Figure A illustrates a charming frOck
OF ivory chiffon, Of a deep creamy tint
The lower part OF the bodice and top
OF the skirt are in groups Of pin tucks,
which give a graceful. clinging effect
about the waist. Insertings OF trans
parent lace-in this case Valenciennos-
outline the cores OF the skirt.
Ne arc getting back TO gored skirts
now, and one sees plenty OF them, es-
pecially in the new circular effect
The yoke Of the bodice is OF parallel
rows of Valenciennes. with short con-
Meeting straps on the shoulders. Six
POINTS come up on this yoke, and these
are formed Of shirred chiffon framed In
alternate long and short insertings OF
lace. The long insertings begin at the
belt and the short ones "A little above
the groups OF tucks in the lower part
of the bodice.
The sleeves are made OF two rows of
VaIenciennes. alternating with groups
OF pin tucks. arranged quite full and
gathered 10 a deep cuff made of a group
OF pin tucks finished with lace ruftie.
A very youthful finish is given to the
bodice by a star-shaped belt Of ivory
satin laid in diamond-shaped tucking.
The girdIe is boned under the long and
short spaces OF the diamonds. The tuck
ing could be made IN either upright or
horizontal tueks, according to the figure
of the wearer.
Princess Form Achieved by Tucks.
Lace is inserted in the cores OF the
skirt In alternate long and short panels,
repeating the decoration In the bodice
The short insertings terminate IN points
upon insertions OF lace around the
lower part OF the skirt. while upon
the bottom edge Of this decorative band
are appliqued the points Of short panels
OF lace which are set between the long
and short insertions IN the bottom OF
the skirt. This gown is made up over
ivory silk. finished with knife pleat-
ings.
Very dainty material for this sort OF
gown. and one much less expensive than
chiffon, is the transparent. lovely and
yet strong fabric known as jussi cloth
pronounced hoosie cloth. which Is made
IN the Philippines. 1t Is a species of
pineapple gauze with delicate stripes
and figures In color upon 1t. and has
TO be made up over an underslip.
Jussi cloth is economical, for II trims
itself charmingly. requiring only a bit
Of ribbon here and there. 1t has GER
tain stiffness about It. too, which Inn
parts 70 II that delieacy and alriness
which tulle possesses before It has been
crushed. and pineapple gauze does no;
have to be made up over as good a
quality OF silk as chiffon requires.
The princess gown shown IN Figure z
has. In the illustration. an appearance
OF great elaboration but in the soft
creamy whiteness Of the sheer materia
or the gown and the decorations OF lace
merge like cloud and the youthful ex
preston or the gown is maintained.
Square necks are as becoming 10 som'
young throats as round ones are tC
others. The square neck in the bodic
OF this gown is outlined with two row
OF lace. and this decoration is repeatei
in a band over the shoulder to the bust
Still another panel OF insertion beeini
under the arms and runs down bal
way
