It is the touch of braid that gives a military effect to many of the new frocks. and the design of the gown matters little from the standpoint oR appropriateness. Princess frocks as well as semi tailored effects are braid trimmed, as may be noted from the ac-s companytng model in blue duvetyn. Blue or black braid may be used, and the trimming outlines the pockets quaintly set into the skirt, as well as collar. cuffs and belt In average size the froclx requires 2A yards 54-inch material, with sz yard Of contrasting silk for the belt collar and cuffs.
