Dresden designs make exquisite waists needing only collar or frill of sheer white crepe or organdy for trimming. A striking waist of white crepe, but toning straight down the front with round crystal buttons, had collars and cuffs of salmon-colored golfine. A flat bow of black velvet ribbon finished the neck.
 Eponge and ratine make stunning frocks of sterner variety. They come in a vairety of plaids and checks, and resemble wool fabrics so closely that they must be felt to know the diff ference. The second illustration is made from a model of brown eponge. The waist has collars and cuffs of fig ured eponge in deep shades of orange, with flaring collar of white organdy. The skirt has double tunics, the first of the brown eponge and the secons under tunic of figured eponge, over a skirt of the solid coor.
 It has been many long day since gingham has played such an important part in the development of summer dresses as it will this season This fabric comes in many qualities in plaids, stripes and checks, as we'll as in solid colors. As this is a season where combinations of stripes, plaids, or cheeks with the solid colors, reign su- preme, this fabric will be seen among the morning and afternoon dresses, es- pecially for vacation wear.
 There are many possibilities of mak- ing up gingham into little coat-suits as well as dresses this season. An interesting little suit is made with a jacket of plaid gingham, in which blue predominates. The edges of this jack ct are bound with plain blue and worn over skirt of solid blue gingham. A second dress of green gingham has a collar and belt of orange and green plaid gingham.
 This is ribbon season. Plain gowns of black charmeuse are relieved by gracefully draped ribbon sashes. If the ribbon is very wide, it may be tleU around the waist with arge, fluffy bow in front, and may be made espec- ially chic if a rose nestles among the sort loops and ends A narrower rib bon of Roman stripes is wound once around the skirt in corkscrew fashion, and again a vivid ribbon is placed on skirt, vieled by flimsy tunic or. pan nier. Narrow ribbon in moire, taffeta, and grosgrain are used for binding or edging ruffles and tunics These are sometimes in black on color, or in con- trasting shade.
 These ribbons come Tn many new patterns. One type has a satin edge, sometimes in black and sometimes in color, and a rose design running thru
