D LAWN AND CHECKED GINGHAM.
Usually only a little Of the braiding Is
and It may be very quickly lone
IL one does not undertake anything very
A touch OF embroidery on buttons covered
with the material or with white linen is
another trimming detail that gives an
effect out of proportion to the work in
volved. and. for that matter. less ela5o-
rate buttons are frequently made OF the
tub frock. A fresh, dainty little morning
frock of finely checked pink and white
gngham. which Is shown IN an uptown
shop and has been sketched for this a
had = band ef white around the neck, On
the cuffs and down tho entire front. and
on these bands were set little buttons COW
cred with plain pink exactly matching the
pink In the check.
A Transparent guimps Of batiste embroid-
cred In open work was finished around the
collar top by q narrow. irregular band OF
the plain pink Anything less pretentious
it would be hard to imagine, yet. well cut
and made. the little frock had a distinctly
chic air.
TT fine gfnghams are made IN lovely
colorings nowadays. almost all OF the mod
fish colors being echoed and combined in
these once commonplace materials. and the
colors in the linens are even more sur
prising. although, OF course. there is less
scope for color combinations IN them.
On a hotel veranda last week a pretty
young woman in her early twenties wore
a morning frock which was apparently OF
Bingham in wide stripes Of soft gray and
buff with a guimpe OF batiste and lace and
a little cravat Of black ~taffeta; and. though
the frock had no trimming. II was, thanks
to its unusual and delightful color scheme.
the SmArtest frock on view.
This color combination Is. by the way,
one much liked by Parisians and has been
exploited in some effective striped marqui-
settles and other sheer materials. A deep
French rose and gray are also admirable.
The lowered lawns and dimities are made
IN one-piece frocks. blouse and skirt cut
separately and set together by q waistband
Of lace or embroidery. These are trimmed
in German valenciennes insertion or EN-
broidery insertion and are perfectly simple
IN character. the skirts being as q rule
laid in small plaits round the hips and
finished by tucks OF bands at the bottom,
while the blouses do not blouse over the
waistband. have quite small sleeves and
are finished at the neck with a Joke OF
simply q high transparent collar. Many
Of these little froeks rave low Dutch neeks.
comfortable for hot Weather, but becoming
emily to the few.
There ars border patterns even IN the
very cheap eOttons, and some OF them
make possible very pretty trimming. A
froek priced at so for example. was OF
lawn with a white ground sprinkled In pin
dots OF dull bluA. A Greek key border IN
the blue was about two inches vide.
This border was left on the skirt bottom
and cut off 70 form a w~aistband, trim the
N-shsped fronts and the short sleeves
opened up the outside. 4 guimpe and un-
derslssves OF valenciennes lace and sheer
white null was adJustable. Nothing about
the frOck looked coarse or common. and we
have since seen the model on a pretty
boarding school girl who looked exceed
ingiy well dressed in IL
The lowered lawn models pictured here
were priced at ~ and a little frock OF
black and white-striped lawn with narrow
bands OF rose color linen for trimming and
q black taffeta eravat and girdle was
valued At n6. and looked as though il
might be worth twice hat amount
Marrow bias bands and pipings OF black
and White-striped linen on other tub mate
rial are used for trimming on many one
tone linens. ginghams. etc. and unite the
merits OF cheapness and effectiveness.
A good trimming for a guimps frock Is a
scarf OF silk drawn through a lattice OF
narrow bands. For example. a dun blu
linen jumper frock had a V-out neck. This
Wa bordered BY an openwork band formed
OF two narrow stitched bands set thres
inches apart and Joined by little bands al
half4nch intervals.
A scarf OF black was run IN and oui
through these cross-hars and knottsd In
the front. h bands finishing the shori
sleeves were treated in the same way. a.
