GIRLS PLAIN FRocKs,
SIMPLE AND PRETTY.

This year the girl Of moderate means
has ample opportunity TO look her best
at the least possible cost, for she may
indulge in frocks Of cheapest ging-
ham, made very simply. These always
are the very good selection for summer
wear and IL they are made up with an
eye to utility as we'll as 20 line, she
will find that at all times she is among
the best of the weil-dressed people. The
beauty Of the fashion is that one may
wear the plainest sort OF gowns with a
bias band Of the same around the line
of the yoke and a bias band TO form
the belt. This makes all trimmings un-
necessary. and, as the yoke itself is
made OF some tucked batiste, you will
see at glance that the dress win be
very inexpensive. 1t is not essential
that the dress be made in one piece
neither the princess nor the empire
style. The shirt waist suit with the
belt Of the material will be very ef-
fective for the business girl, and this
Is far easier to make than the more
elaborate one-piece frock. The wise
girl VIII choose several ginghams OF
more or less dark color, and. If posi-
BILE. each dress win be made TO oper

Notes on Hats.

Several millinery leaders In Paris are DO
ing their best to discourage the cult OF
enormous and exaggerated headgear.
Nevertheless. women st.ll scorn small
or medium-sized hats.
Wise is the woman who knows her
style. and wears hats accordingly.
For the woman Of classical features the
jaunty hat is an absurdity.
Equally foolish is it for the woman
who can wear the ideal picture hat to de.
part from it. except when practical head
gear is necessary.
The severe Cainsborough in black straw
with at least three white pumes is
leader
The plumes must stand almost stra gh
and are posed to the side.
Hats will probably continue large fo
the rest of the sumer.
Thick. round crowns are promised US 70
fall.
