( grave question when there is enough
Tor only one or the other. Or again, is
il wisest to purchase material for one
OF the delightfully."- smart little short
taffeta Jackets that can re worn with
each and every gown in the outfit dur
ing the summer as well as in the spring
months. or to buy the material for an
essentially practical but perhaps not
quite as smart a long cloth wrap ?
I Really these are serious problems when
there is but q small dress allowance to
meet them with.
/ This ought 10 be good year for the
, woman Of economical aspirations, for
never was so scant material to be al
| lowed for in ordering a dress length,
and It IS also q year when simplicity
/ is a genuine aim. Simplicity Of line,
/ simplicity IN effect, and actually con
/ siderable simplicity OF detail are feat
ures of the spring and summer fash
! ions. There are no fussy little ruffies
and ruchings. nor fiaring fiounces, nor
/ fluffy" sleeves. The first impression
( Of the fashions OF the moment is of a
decided and infinitely pleasing sim
plicity.
The first figure shows a decidedly
attractive little spring frock of cloth
and foulard combined. The cloth was
used for the apron front and back
and the foulard for the sleeves and
side sections. Old blue was the color
of the cloth, and the foulard, which
/ had a small black figure, showed this
color in the foundation. A yoke and
collar Of Irish crochet completed the
costume
The second illustration pictures one
OF the smartest out-of-door costumes of
1 the spring season. The waist was a
very simple affair with two wide tucks
| forming q panel effect The yoke skirt
which fastened on the hip had an in
verted pleat at each side. The materiA
was pearl-gray cashmere and the trim
ming of black silk braid.
