COTTON FABRICS
NOW IN ORDER.
Suits May Be Made as Dressy
and Elaborate as the Wearer's
Fancy Dictates.
EVERYTHING IN GOOD FORM
In the Summer Months the Light
Stuffs Are Universally Accepted as
Substitute for Chiffon and silk
Skirts Straight and Narrow

The jump in temperature demon
strated very conclusively that suits
made from cotton fabrics will be far
more comfortable during the next
three or four months than those OF
cloth. In fact, suit OF linen, cotton
eponge, crash. or one OF the novelty
cotton goods, is to be classed among
the necessities when allotting the
clothes allowance for the season
There was a time. and 1t wasn't so
very long ago. when suits of cotton
materials were all decidedly negligee
Today they are often as dressy and
elaborate as the more expensive cloth
models, and display. as they do. all the
latest whims of fashion The cotton
suits. therefore. can be divided into
two distinct classes, the very severe
and simple suits, to be worn In the
morning and at sporting events. where
the strict tailored costumes are desir-
able, and the more dressy creations,
with their draped skirts, gay colored
sashes, jaunty little Jackets and fancy
collars and cuffs. Both types are fas.
cinating. and the dressy suits are
considered in as good form as the
palmer. tailored costumes, provided
they are worn at the right time and
place. The fact, however, that cot
ton is not a dressy fabric In itself
has TO certain extent developed the
idea that a suit of cotton fabric must
necessarily be an informal costume.
