A FASHIONABLE
AFTERNOON GOWN


Checked materials trimmed with
plain satin are eminentlY fashionable
this season. This gown shows the
combination used to exceptional ad-
vantage. The blouse is a very simple
one In peasant style. It can be
trimmed with bands of any width on
the sleeves. or with pointed cuffs as
preferred. The sailor collar can be
used or omitted. In this instance the
v-shaped opening is faced with lace,
and collar and undersleeves are made
Of lace. The effect is a most dainty
and attractive one, while the labor is
slight, but the entire blouse can be
made Of one material and worn either
with or without a sailor collar. The
skirt is a new one in six cores with
an exceptionally effective trimming
band. In the illustration it is cut n
little above the normal waist line, but
this season both high and natural
waist lines are equally fashionable,
and the skirt can be finished IN either
way. Satin and velvet are to be ex-
lensively used as trimming and this
gown is in the height OF style. but
there never has been a season allow
Ing greater variations, and the samS
model can be treated in many ways
The gown, made of plain voile, cash

trimming of striped silk would bc
