Your apologies for long letter quite unneces-

Only chiffon wells should be worn, and these only
es protection from sun or dust. AS to draping If

girls both with white and daintiy colored frocks.
Black stockings and black shoes always in good
taste with any coored frock while tan stockings
and shoes match with certain dresses for
general outing
I don It think you should wear pale blue organdy
on account OF the shade of your eyes. Green is be-
coming to those with blue eyes, yet light blue is not
becoming to those with green eyes. You
pink WELL however, also green and navy, but not light
mauve, turquoise, cerise white and blue gray In
choosing pink, take the shades of blush rather
than those of salmon coral.
a.. If you should take pink Powered organdy
and have it made princess SHRED to fit the figure and
finished on the bottom with three overlapping self
1ufles Gather over the bust and bring into a. fiat
band covered with the overlapping rufles and
wear with lingerie guimpe. Have puff sleeves COW
cred with the rufle tying to the with pink rib
bons, giving fluffy an effect possible. Perch a
bow of ribbon at the left shoulder corsage gar

hat with this frock. don It for organdy frock
in solid COLOR except white of course, SO, if you do
not wish for the Powered frock then should get plain
dimity in preference to the plain or gaudy. Chiffon
scarfs both the head and the shout
ders depending entirely upon the time and OCCASION
For evening they supposed to drape the head
During the day they perform similar service to the
shoulders
When you cut the coat, try and get 1t to blouse
little Will it be sufficiently full to gather into belt
ut lower edge does it just fit the shoulders smoothly
nowq Surprising there neither peats gathers
the shoulders should prefer to make full blouse
Elton from the lower part of the coat making entire
new body, but using the same sleeves again. This
would make decidedly smart little wrap for wear
with your organdy frock. coat of organdy would
not be satisfactory.
In regard to jewelry, you strings of beads
about neck, your class other small PIN pretty
belt buckles gold necklet and locket and
T Hour enameled watch certainly
