chine stitching. The waist is of smart
design. At each side of the simu-
lated box-plait in front is wide
tuck that narrows in width to the
waistline, and near the armhole is
another such tuck which is also con-
tinued in the back and extends a
trifle over the top of the sleeve. Be-
tween these wide tucks is a group
of very narrow ones. The conven-
tional neckband provides a support
for either a straight or turnover col
lar. The short sleeves have reversed
cuffs.
Another development of this model
was in cream mohair with the bottom
of the skirt ornamented with fold of
silk finely stitched. The waist had
folds of silk to resemble tucks and
the cuffs and collar were of silk fin
ished in stitching, and a belt of
stitched silk completed the gown. A
further dressy arrangement would
be cutting the neck out in V or
square design and filling in with
tucked chiffon and the sleeves could
be left open and finished inside with
frills of the chiffon. Made up in
one of the new checked or plaid mer-
cerized ginghams would be new and
dainty idea especially when the V
and frills were of fine lace.
To certain youthful figures and
young women nothing is prettier for
a summer dress than one of the
sailor modes, which seem to be al
ways in fashion. A dark blue linen
or chambray would be a good mater
ial to use. The skirt is constructed
with seven cores so arranged that
| there is a panel effect in front and
an applied hem is joined to the skirt
by four rows of stitching. The sailor
blouse is jaunty affair with a tab
yoke across the bust. The closing
is in front, with lacings or silk cord
through worked eyelets. The neck
opens over v front of white linen
embroidered in nautical designs, and
the regulation sailor collar Is in
white linen edged with stitching. The
sleeves are long. rather into the arm
hole, and the fulness at the wrist is
disposed of by tucks at the back fin
| ished with a white linen cuff. The
same idea could be carried out in
white linen and the waist decorated
with bands of blue linen. For a
yachting suit blue serge would be
more serviceable with trimmings of
white flannel decorated with bands
of braid in plaid showing red, blue.
white and green. With this costume
should be worn sailor hat of blue

A charming design of the thinner

The upper part of the skirt is in
five cores where the joining is con-
cealed with a group of tuclks, at the
knees is applied flounce having an
irregular outline at the top covered
with a lace banding. The flounce is
laid in groups of tucks instead of
being gathered. The waist is mount
ed on foundation and the full por-
tion is gathered in groups of tucks
to the square yoke made of alternat-
ing bands of lace and tucks of the
material. The standing collar is ar
ranged in similar fashion. The
sleeves are cut short and full ending
in a lace and tucked cuff. The belt
is of blue silk shaped to the figure

Crepe would have ruffles at the top
of the flounce and around the yoke

a white silk belt. A white organdy
could be made by this design and
mounted on colored underslip.
