any and every material, and 1t will d
form the cornerstone and foundation i
Of the average girls summer outfit
this year. The manufacturers have
made great improvements in the {
linens and they remain fresh much |
longer than they used to and are so
soft that they can be easily launder- !
ed. The colorings in the linens are |
lovelier and more varied than ever ,
before and the fashionable shops
display large variety of the hand
soonest models OF such one-piece lin
en- frocks. Most of them are made
with admirable simplicity, which Is a
great advantage when it comes to
laundering.
Little boloros are very chic this
season. They are slightly full, and
many are edged with rufiies and frils
of silk. They are cut low and fasten-
ed at the waist line. and are cool and
lovely. Pale pinks, blues, greens
and lavenders are much in evidence
for these short jackets over the
frocks. The striped Coates" are
effective with the plain goods, the
plain with the figured.
Deep revers and sailor collars are
pretty finishes for these coats. The
simple ruffle of chiffon or net is also
good, while hand embroidery or bead
work always is the distinctive touch
that a needlewoman can give. These
little jackets are In most cases sleeve
less and are seamless on the shoulder
/ Because the bolero Is so much in
! fashion among the exclusives, the
bodices are now made with a wide
tuck in them, put above the edge OF
the high waist band of the skirt.
This tuck may be piped or faced with
another material II desired. The eff
feet is much Ike that of a short ho-
lero jacket just reaching the top of
the princess skirt. Sometimes the
tuck is made OF the material of the
skirt If the bodice Is of another
fabric. Again 1t Is made of the same
stun that trims the skirt.

heavy raised design on net founda-
tion are now called repousse. There
