FadS and Fashions

NEW YORK May l9.-Now that
provident women are busy with pre-
pairing their outfits for the summer.
they are confronted with many intri-
cate problems, chief among them
the question as TO the style of frock
Il would be best for them TO choose
II may be said that skirts OF wash
material are either plain. flounced or
with tunics. Some attempts have
been made to produce draped skirts
in the tub frocks but the results are
singularly unattractiye In most
cases. II they do not please before
the dress is washed and ironed, what
can be expected of them after they
have been submitted to those always
distributing processes? The tunic is
capable OF an almost infinite yarie-
ty of treatment, and It makes pos
sible the genera silhouette required
by fashion. For the lighter ma
terials Il Is unQuestionably the best
idea on which 10 work. In tic case
OF the slight and girlish figure, the
flounced skirt Is an attractive rival
OF the tunic. IN the heavier materi-
ais. such as linens, and their allies.

sons than one But in these cases
the plainness can be broken by a
deceptive treatment of tapping seams
which give the main lines Of drapea
skirts without any undesirable bunch
mess.
Collarettes. or rufus. are being
urged on women by all classes of
dealers. and the women are respond
