With the vogue for the basque and

I their origin in these but are modified
/ TO suit the women TO whom the men

[ waist with belt or sash One stunning
dress OF this variety Is OK white silk
I with a chiffon overWaist which hangs
! straight from the shoulders to the
depth OF a long tunic, but held in by a
sash which runs through Sits made in
the chimon This is style which is
easily applied to cotton materials, such
as crepe, batiste and others.
The simple but dainty designs called
the polka dot and the ring have had a
long period OF being unnOticed or, at
least, not noticeably smart But this
summer they are to be seen in foulards,
in wash silks. in cotton crepeS and, OF
course, percale and calicos. In the
Illustration Is a simple and attractive
dress made OF percale with a blue ring
streWn across its surface. The waist
shows the new tendency Of the armhoIe
which Is growing smaller ard the skirt
has two circular fiounces- Crisp white
collar and Guns and crushed girdle are
the finishing touch This is a dress
which can easily serve as the model by
which 10 plan a dress With waist

nOunceS Of plain IL would be unusual IN
its attraction Another way Of finish
ing the dress would be to bind the
ruffle OF the sleeve. the collar and the
dounces with a color matching the fig
ure in the percale.
Never was a style revived IN greater
completeness than the basque In the
tightness Of the armhole and the but
tons down the 'front.' and the points at
the waist this modern basque is an
exact replica Of its ancestor. The plain
fitting long tuntc skirt is a conserva-
tive model OF its type and one which
wear.
The armhole Of the basque waist is
snug and certainly looks almost queer. Il
after the lOoseness Of the kimono blouse
we have worn so long and which gives
so much freedom that II almost made
one wonder at times il there was an l
armhOle at all Waists OF different
styles are already showing that this has |
an influence upon them. and are appear i
ing with smaller armhOleE A strong
tendency exists towards embellishing
seams in some way. For instance, |
sleeves are put in with a cOrding around |
the armhole or narrow lace or beading
Is used This is a very pretty way OF I
making a simple waist attractive
From all sides we hear rumors OF !
wider skirts and yet when we examine
the models we md the largeness con-
sists in a large quantity Of material in |
the undersSirt or foundation remains IS
narrow or narrower than ever. The
tendency OF these tunics is to widen out |
measuring about 21-2 to yards in
width with the fulness gathered in at I
the waist. This style IS practical to
develcp IN sheer and summary ma
terialS, and later possibly for the de-
velopment Of the heavier fabrics.
The tremendous popularity OF lace is
evidenced in the wraps and gowns dis
