design, too, is appropriate to oldeA
women, as well as to the youthful
wearer. In fact, the difference In
tiounced gowns for young or older
wearers is discernible in finishing
touches, rather than in design. The
foundation skirts are plain and
straight The fiounces are adjusted
In differing poses. Sometimes, as In
the gown pictured, they sag toward
the back, but In good number this
is reversed and they rise toward the
back.
The waist line ia about the normal
in most Of them. While waists are
draped, these are set In sleeves as
well as drop shoulder and kimono ef-
fects. Ribbons are conspicuous, and
the tango" shades, warm nasturtium
yellows, are specially liked.
Almost anyone who makes any pre-
tentions to sewing, or has any faith
in her own ability, can put together a
f1ounced dress. The trick seems to be
in adjusting the flowers at the right
slope, with even fullness, and in not
getting them too full

Ter fabrics, and IL wonderfully attrac-
tive.
There is a world Of light, airy fab
RIGS, fascinating in design, and a world
of filmy laces. moderate in price, SO
that the flounced gown has a pleasant
future before 1t. Limp fabrics are
chosen that fall to the figure, SO that
tiounces do not mean bulkiness. That
is tabooed, and is likely to remain SO.

f you wish to busy yourself pre-
pairing for the coming spring and
summer, you can be assured Of the
success of certain new styles in ad-
vance. 1t is wise to be ready for the
season which lures us out of doors,
and to make the most of it.
Here is the sweetest of summer

with a fichu and a belt OF satin rib
bon. Similar gowns are ON display
made of a variety Of materials. There
are embroidered cotton crepes, first

lace, embroidered crepe de chine and
voiles. But always lace and more lace.

Among the handsomest of gowns
are those of white net showing flounc-
lngs of the net edged with narrow
black chantilly lace. Others Of sheer
cotton crepe with fold of black maline
laid under the edge of fiouncings.
Much hand embroidery appears on
the gowns Of crepe, voile, etc. But
1t is of a kind that does not try the
eyes. Long sprays of flowers OF mod
crate size-like the carnation, for ex-
ample-are done with heavy floss in
long bold stitches. The effect is beau
tiful. The gowns are in white or
pale colors. White is the loveliest.

lace-trimmed petticoat of net worn
under these gowns Is beautiful.
