SUMNER MODES
IN new YORK At
THEIR VERY BEST

is very little new to chronicle about
the fashions at this season, but this
year is an exception. There is
great deal that is new, or al least
original, Dressmakers who must

most salient features of the modes

double skirts finds better medium

materials. Through the upper one
which is transparent, one sees the
colored garniture OF the under one
and the effect is very soft and

bodices, This use of ribbons under
sheer waists was introduced about d
