A FORECAST OF SPRING
AND SUMMER FABRICS
WAISTS ARE MADE SEVERELY PLAIN
WHILE SKIRTS ARE FULL AND FLARiNC
BELTS AND PEASANTS BASQUES

| by peasant skirts or Victorian crinol-
inc. 1t may be cut circular, gored
with as many cores as nine, straight
pleated or gathered, the requirement
being that it flares at the bottom.
The Dutch costumes are particularly
suited to the young girl. They often
have a broad strap over the shoulders,
with blouse buttoning straight down
the center front. The skirt is full,
with a slight bullying at the hips
Sometimes these dresses are topped
with short Dutch jacket. White or
delft blue are favored colors for this
style of dress.
Bolero effects are to be seen in
| waists as well as in Jackets and will,
no doubt, be particularly smart for
summer dresses. Linen, pique and
poplin being materials which will
make up into stunning little suits with
coat on this style.
Severity seems to be the strong note
for waists, but they must have particu-
lar style, which is, of course, hard to
attain, although it lies greatly in the
placing Of the trimming. Buttons are
all that is considered correct on many
of them.
The illustration shows a dress with
plain but smartly cut vast buttoning
up the front with cloth-covered but
tons. The side pieces of the waist con-
tinue on to the skirt and form a side
yoke. The completed costume has an
unusual style and charm which is &C.
centuated by tan prunella cloth in
which it Is made.
Tho coronI i1lrctro& oho
dress with~the ever-fashionable sur
plice closing waist The skirt is gored
with the stylish fare at the lower
short. The braiding on the waist and
skirt is done with the round silk
braid, which is having vogue even
stronger than the soutache braid.
The separate blouse is made on the
same severe lines of the bodices. of
frocks. They are made of crepe de
chine and voile and chiffon cloth over.
a thin silk lining. Small cloth-cover-
ed buttons to match the material of
the waist and the pockets. sometimes
made with fancy flap, are the only
trimming. They are often buttoned
from the top of the high collar to the
waist line, while others are made with
the low collars. Organdy is combined
with butter-colored lace. Honiton
braid in this same color is used as an
applique on white organdy and black
mousseline de sole.
The wool fabrics for spring are
largely plain fabrics. Serge, that won
derful standby, is one of the first sell
ers, together with gabardine. Cheviot
Is the novelty, and very practical one.
