In the il- lustration dotted linen Is trimmed with bands of em- broidery and made with chemisette of heavy lace, and there are no under sleeves, but there are a number of ways in which the gown can be hn- ished- If the round neck Is liked, the collar can be omit ted. If the under sleeves are wanted, close fitting ones can be used that ex- tend to the wrists or for three-quar- ter length, as liked. The box plaits at the front and back of the skirt can be stitched all the way down, as they are in this case, or they can be stitched to any depth that may be liked, with the edges joined below, and this latter treatment means even greater free dom for walking. One of the new striped tafetas would be charming with all the seams corded and a little ruching on the skirt drawn up by means of cords. Natural colored pongee would be handsome with the neck edge, armholes and cuffs corded with green. Linen or pique can be fl his h ed just in th e same manner or with the plain stitched edges, as liked, or the edges could be piped with a contrasting color and.be pretty. The skirt Is six gored and the blouse is made with front and back portions that are Tapped onto side portions, while the separate sleeves are stitched to the armholes.
