is on the order of the cutaway style.

The skirt has rather full tunic drap-
cry. the fullness in front being attached
to the underskirt by one two rows
OF shirring across the front about ten
inches below the waist line, with
heading making a short outstanding
ruffie.
This tunic skirt grows longer on the
sides and in the back forms the skirt
itself. the line being an unbroken one
from waist to hem, but falling in soft,
rippling folds.
Sometimes Miss McClintock wears a
small putty-colored sailor with a white
lace figured veil. and sometimes a
purple as the suit and trimmed about

the skirt along the sides below the
waist and being about the size of a
housemaid's apron. There is a crushed
girdle of velvet and the bib OF the di-

the comfortable low neck and the
choker collar by adopting a style that
combines both The necks are cut in
shallow VS. in front, with turnover
collars in the back, which are caught
together by a button just under the
chin, thus making high collar in the
back and an open neck effect in the
front.
Speaking of blouses. the smart thing
for the summer things is the colored
blouse to wear
ColOred HlOuSeS w i h w h g
With White Skirts. e,oth sn,,s, or nioue ue
If one does not care for so strong a
skirt one may compromise and have
colored collars and cuffs and still be
in the fashion, but the real vivid con-
trasting note of color is the really
proper thing, and white cuffs and COL
lars are the acceptable trimming for
the colored blouses.
II one wants TO De reaiiy as smart ae
possible the shocked blouse fits the
bill Old blue is a favorite color for
shocked blouses. the shocking. OF
course, done in white, when the col
lars and cuffs are also of white.
Miss Eleanor Reyburn, whose trous-
seau is in the making. is having three
shocked blouses. one white with blue
shocking and blue collar and cuffs.
and one white and lavender and one
white with yellow.
After a winter spent in the old-fash-
ioned art of knitting. women of fashion
find it comes quite natural to DO
shocking such is seen on the
"smocks' and blouses of butchers in
rural England and the peasants in the
villages of France. and many are
shocking their own blouses for the
summer.
