made of the finest of cotton materials

ured in as available for their dressiest
frocks. But the beautiful refinement
OF sheer white wash fabrics, coupled
with the daintiness OF lace and the ele-

like those shown above always a
happy choice.
The party frock shown on the
pleased little maid at the left is made
OF fine white net founcing. It's lower

set on to the plain net underskirt and
