but particularly in silks. The shini-
ness of the silks makes the candy
striped frOcks look just sweet"
enough 10 eat. so realistically do they
suggest the striped peppermint sticks
of Juvenile days. and the greenland
white lime sticks. the yellOw-and
white lemon stick, the very-red-and-
nOt-SO-White cinnamon stick, etc. But
all the Candy-striped materials are
not confined 10 the old-time candy
sticks. unless we presume them weird
~ and wonderfully colored and far
from eatable For instance. who
ever heard Of q dark blue candy
stick? But here is a dark blue
taffeta frOck striped with deep
lemon color and also lines of a beauti-
full lime shade In this instance, you
see. the candy idea is modified. and
an effective modification il is Dark
blue taffeta binds the scallops of the
skirt yoke and the edge of a low-cut
bodice White batiste Is used for the
pretty and summary guimpe.
Plain Belgian blue and blue-and-
white striped taffeta are combined in
stunning frock with plain bodice
and striped skirt the bodice having
no least touch of the stripes, but de-
pending upon the repetition of the
skirt blue for its relation to the other
part of the costume. About the sim
pied va neck and cuffs are linen
ruffies. The bodice silk is repeated
upon three bias folds encircling the
skirt. The conservative woman may
use a blue-and- white striped design
that has for its background blue in
stead of white ground.
Wolfe forms a pink-and-whi frOck
with plain skirt and long-peplumed
bodice. About the bottom of the
white vOile skirt is run a three-inch
band of the pink-and-w white striped
material. The striped bodice is made
sleeveless and is worn over a giumpe
OF the white wolfe. Bands of black
velvet ribbon trim collar, girdle and
cuffs. The model is meant for the tall
woman only. unless the peplum be
much abbreviated.
Black and white is holding its own
as a smart and effective combination.
particularly so with the round-an6
round pr1SOnwiSe arrangement of the
stripes in the tunic of a yOked skirt.
Heavy Bingham is the material used.
The very plain guimpe worn under it
serves only for the buttoned vest Wis
ible at the front and Hainty white or
candle puffs at the wrist The model
is particularly suitable for the con-
servative woman no longer in her first
youth. For the plump woman the
stripes of the skirt must be run
lengthwise, both in the upper and
lower skirts
Taffeta is again found in an excep-
tiOnally pretty limestick frock. The
ground of the silk is white and the
stripes are of palest lime The skirt
is edged with a buttonholing of white
silk, each scallOp being composed of
five smaller scallOps. A pretty jump
er waist offers a welcome opportunity
to art needlewOrkers. It is of white
white or lime shade The scalloping,
too, may be of white or lime, pro
vided the same color buttOnholing is
used upon the bottom Of the skirt
Picoted eyelets at the waist line have

| frOck is really in three pieces. Hand
embroidery has not been really pop

cept it be some very bold, bizarre
design; but needleworkers here have
an opportunity for applying their
work without detracting from the gar
ment's smartnesS-a sad tendency
which much ill-considered handwOrk
frequently has. The frock can be
duplicated in voile or Bingham and,
