Although white will be quite as pop
liar as. ever this summer, there is
also a. demand for the soft shades Of
yellow, pink. blue and other light
tones. The imported crepes which
are being SO widely used for summer
frocks. show quaint figures and dainty
colorings; silks also come in all the
new shades and designs. For sepa-
rate blouses the figured and plain col
ored crepes are used; collar and cuffs
are usually of white batiste or or
CANDY. and the buttons most popular
are novelty porcelain and bone.
In No. S254-S255 a figured crepe
blouse is combined with skirt Of
taffeta for afternoon wear. An un-
usual collar and raglan shoulder are
smart features of the blouse and the
skirt displays a modish bit of drapery.
1t is two-piece skirt with two wide
plaits laid in the back to suggest a
peg-top effect; the front drapcry also
carries out this idea.
