becoming idea which strikes one may be
used in both Of these, affording charm
ing possibilities of showing individual
ity. From the dainty, picot-edged turn
over or frill on the dark taffeta frock,
the collar ranges to the deep broad
collar extending to the waistline and

favor the high collar, even in summer,
but this is fashioned of net or organdy
and is open in front, SO it is really not
a high collar after all, but a very be-

wide, cape-like collars are most popu-

transparent, of crepe, net or chiffon TO

also the flowing sleeve. These latter
are very easily made being finished
around the lower edge with bias fold.

are being fashioned of pale pink or
blue cotton crepe or wolfe, the barre:
and striped cottons, wash satins, ali
the daintiest possible of sprigged silk
with pale toned grounds.
The pink or blue crepe or wolfe Is
usually finished around armholes, neck

this day and age it has no place -x-

evening gowns, and even from these,
it is being ripped out. This does not
mean, however, that we are going back
to the narrow skirt; no indeed. merely
limp skirts.
The dainty midsummer voiles and
