Peasant Bodices

Many of the bodices nowadays are
laced across peasant-wise. Black
grenadine in Chantilly lace patterns
is one of the most beautiful weaves
OF the year. and would be hard to
beat for dinner gowns, and over
colored silk makes most delightful
summer coats. Wolfe. which is so
light, so cool. is for comfortable sum-
mer wear. 1t packs easily, with no
fear Of crushing Taffeta Is often
combined with vojls.

t1ate-top handbags are still popular.
tRare bits Of tapestry are now used
FOR the bottom, with gorgeous tassels
5fo finish them off. The rich tones of
Sfhe material oddly contrast with the
lijeht dresses. There is one bag in
seherming oriental effect, with pea
'cock coloring or gold and purple COM
'bined with dark red. This Is finished
s7vith a gold tassel and heavy gold
cord at the top. Other bags have
IRA celets at the top in place of the
.cord. and, for those who do not care
for the deep tones of the tapestry,
sfhere are beaded effects and silver
mesh bags in the same gate-top style.

The fitted basques. thought quaint
and a bit formidable at first sight,
are constantly gaining in the favor
of women of fashion. Worn with the
sectional skirts or with the models
built In two or more tiers, they are

mands. The toilette illustrated is de-
signed for afternoon wear, change
able blue and yellow taffeta being
used In its development. Seven yards
of s6-inch silk are required for the
costume, and IL contrasting material
is used for the yoke and collar three
quarters yard eighteen inches wide
will be needed. The long sleeves are
trimmed with tiny black satin but
tons. and larger buttons are used on
the front of the BASQUE. A box-pleat-
ed ruff1e finishes the lower edge, but
this may be replaced by a plain girdle
