0rgandie and chiffon, marquisete, I
null, batiste and Swiss for young
girls, make ideal dinner gowns and /
frocks for warm weather wear. In
these days, Of course, chiffons and
equally thin materials are worn IN
winter for the evening gowns, but
batiste and Swiss and the other cot
ton and linen fabrics are purely sum
mer materials, and should be made
the most Of during the heated term.
All Of these purely warm weather
frocks are prettiest and in the best
taste when simply made and trimmed
with lace and tucks, or a little
trimmed embroidery For young girls.
including those recently out, the
slightly decollete neck and elbow
sleeves with round length skirts are
the most appropriate. and also the
most becoming not only because Of
their youth, but also because youth is
prone to angles, and angles and hol-
lows should rot be imposed on an in
offensive public save when absolutely
necessary. A pretty arm is an excep-
ton. Arms should be white. tapering
from shoulders to wrists, and should
be well covered with flesh II not
plump. The wrists and hands should
be delicate and small In comparison
with the arms the neck should be
round and no hollows or bones should
show at it's base. and at the same time
It should not be SO plump that the
modelling is lost in flesh.
The exhibition Of scrawny arms,
bony wrists terminating in hands dis
proportionately large, and Of big. fat
red arms almost as large below the ell
bows as above, and both with ugly
elbows, since the advent Of the elbow
sleeves, have been a revelation and a
most unpleasant one. Comfortable as
the elbow sleeve Is, the possessors Of
ugly arms should have too much self
respect to expose them to the scornful
gaze Of the public. Long sleeves with
transparent lace cuffs from the elbows
down or finely tucked bands with in
sertions are cool and fashionable, and
work wonders in the way Of Disgusting
the deficiencies Of homely arms.
When It comes to the evening dress.
however, ones arms are OF necessity
exposed, but they may be draped as
much as possible with floating drap-
cries. and even yelled half way to the
wrists with gauze or tulle. In any
event, the arms may be treated with
bleaches, creams and liquid powders
until the skin presents an attractive
appearance.
It is the duty of all women to care
fully study their personal appearance
and to take careful note Of the com
ments OF their enemies rather than
their friends in ascertaining their
weak points, and to improve or to dis
guise them as much as possible
