Here is a gown that is especially we'll adapted to washable materials, yet which can be utilized for the simple wool fab rics. The blouse and the skirt are joined to make a onc-piece garment so that 1t is extremely easy to adjust and, since the front edges are Tapped in place of being scanned, easy to launder. It is simple and it Is smart and 1t fills an important need. If it is made from eingham or lawn or any similar material, it Is a morning gown; {; if it Is made from linen or from one of the new cotton poplins or, one of the Japanese cotton crepes that are so much used this season, 1t Is a simple street gown, adapted to shopping and occa- sions of the sort and also becomes suited to the business woman's office and if 1t Is made from a simple woolen material, |, such as challis or albatross, it can be utilized for any simple occasion. The high neck and the long sleeves are smart, but we are approaching a season of warm weather and climate makes it's own de- nlands, and the soft round collar and the shorter sleeves are quite correct and undoubtedly will be much used with the coming of summer.
 L~s the medium size will be required, cds. of material 27 in. wide, 512 yds., 3o, or 4 fl yds. Al in. wide with I I yds. any width for the bands. The skirt is two yards wide at the, lower edge.
