neck Of the chiffon frock.
The long WASTED frock with one
fiounce, the frock with waist only q
little long and several fiounces, and the
frock OF normal waist with full skirt
trimmed in tiny fiounces are the usual
lines for frocks Of chiffon or silk. Linon
and muslin models also follow these
lines, but among these there are still
many straight Russian smock designs.
SILK party frocks are taboo by many

frock already described. one of these
spriGged silk models has all its narrow

and at the waist line.

One of the quaintest and daintiest Of

house Is illustrated here. Its founda-
ton Is q Arm but flne wash net and on
this are set tiny overlapping frllls of
finest linon, producing an effect vaguely
suggestive Of the early Victorian ideas
being exploited In the latest party frocks
for older sisters.
Not until one examines tho model
more closely does the price seem justi-
fable: but every one Of the narrow
frills has Its minute scallops en-
broidered by hand and the little dots
above the scallops are also hand en-
broidered. while every stitch put into
the frock Is done by hand. Something
of the same effect might be secured

delicate pink or blue or white and have
no trimmings beyond fine cordings, self
frills or ruches, and usually few little

are more durable than they sound, more
durable indeed than wash net or some
of the mulls. and there are models OF

one separates them from their founda-
