The eternal feminine will assert
Itself in soft and frilly or demure
frockS for afternoon wear-and let us
be thankful therefor. No matter how
much she may devote herself O. morn
ings to splashy dashy sports clothes,
OF how uncOmprOmisinGly tailored her
street dress may be. trust the woman
of today TO garb herself in something
alluringly soft and utterly feminine
looking before the sun goes down, or
mighty shortly thereafter.
The pretty lingerie dress has re-
turned I'm all its glory of fne lace and
fine handwOrk on fine materials. Sheer
cotton and linen fabriCs, and Iaccs.
dear to the hearts Of fine ladies, are
put together with painstaking needle
work IN these frocks. They never fail
TO captlvatc women possessed of good
taste. and III" French have an axiom
that explains II. There Is nothing so
beautiful as care" it runs.
Bcsih's these sheer gowns thrrr are
others Of soft silt crepe. or light wool
en- fabrics, that are OF the same char.
acter. One Of them Is shown In the
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1917-04-06

illustration, and it might be made OF
crepe de chine, challies, satin, silk
and wool poplin or any other supple
material. II is a onepiece dress with
lengthwise plaits down the front and
three wide tucks in the remainder of
the straight, full skirt The sleeves
are full and gathered into a frill at tho
waistline There is q soft girdle and
sailor collar OF silk with a collar of
fine net-top lace draped over the collar
of silk. The frock fastens at one side
with snap fasteners. hut ornamental
buttons are set over them.
Even these afternoon gowns are
not much heightened as TO the skirts.
But this Is matter that the indi-
vidual may decide for herself because
authorities are OF two minds about IT,
