Women are beginning to think
about their thin dresses for the warm
weather. A new idea for the coming
season is the combination of thin fab
| RIGS with heavier materials. For in
| stance, a wolfe waist with tunic will be
! finished at the bottom edge with folds
of linen or material of a similar weave.
| TUNES of vivid shades over contrast
| ing shades of satin are good. For re-
| ceptions these dresses of light mater
| ials are usually made with trains.
