Two Midsummer Fads of
Fashion That Bid Fair

uIar
LEATHER BELTS
MARSHALL IN A
MILITARY AIR

NEW YORK, June 26.-Porch irocks
and cretonnes are the present proteges
of Fashion. The first comes as natd-
raj sequence to the veranda habit, but
the latter descends without reason or
forewarning overnight invasion.
The very mode of their entry bespeaks
their duration. II is not difficult TO
predict that the fad of the porch frocl
is destined TO last TO the third or the
fourth season in fact as long as
pofches themselves endure; but the
craze Of crctonne, volatile as IL is, is a
whirlwind fancy.
Both are American ideas. With the
handicap Of Paris temporarily removed
the American designer has awakened TO
new activities and, as ever centers his
attention on the practical, salablc side
of dress. II is season Of simplicity
and conservatism. The one-picce frock,
which has long fourished under the
"Alade in America" label finds new
channel Women today think quickly
and act quickly. There is no hesitation.

RIVAL SUFFRAGISTS
Will CO IT alone

AS a natural outcome of the differ
ence Of opinion that exists between
the National Woman's Suffrage Asso-
citation and the National COMPRESSION
al Union, members of the Delaware
Equal Suffrage Association and of
the Delaware Congressional Union
have decided to separate and work
for the cause" as two individual or
ganizations. Hereafter, therefore the
suffrage headquarters will be known
as Congressional Union Headquarters
while members of the d. E. S. A. will
now seek other quarters wherein to
carry on their work.
However, despite the fact that the
difference of opinion concerning the
plans and methods to be employed to
bring about suffrage in the State ex-
lists between the two factions. it is de-
sired to have it understood that there
is no i'll feeling nor bitterness be-
tween the two organizations, what
soever. Members of the ID. e. S. A.,
have not as yet selected their head
quarters and in all likelihood will not
do so until fall.
Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles is chair
man of the Delaware Congressional
Union, while Mrs. Martha S. Cranston
is president of the Delaware Equal
Suffrage Association.

A Porch FrOck Of Null and Child,
Playtime Dress of CretOnne.

Life on this side of the Atlantic
grows more methodical. AS distinct

porch frocks are primarily built for
comfort and GOODNESS. The necks are
low. either Dutch fashion or V-shaped

sheer Rose mulls figured crepes,
white lawn. and striped and coin-dot-
ted voiles predominant. An attrac-
tive pink null As pictured on this
page with the new tucked skirt and

and turn-back cuff of black-and-white
striped null give a character to the
dress, which is noteworthy in all Of
these new designs. Generally speak
ing. the styles are plain. the emacu-
lateness of the material being the
principal charm of the frock. How
ever variety is not lacking in de-
signs. There are V-necks with the
collars that can be worn high or turn
low as fancy dictates; the round neck

lars of white Swiss, and the new,
oned-in-the-hack STYLES, which
have the square Dutch neck finished
with a bias band of the same or con-
trasting material, or bit Of en-
broidery
Fancy belts are often used with
these dresses. They are made of
white kid strapped with black pat
ent leather, trimmed with a large
buckle and sometimes in the mill

The surprising thing about these
frocks is that they are, one and all.
