voILEs ARE POPULAR.

The voiles are always charming, soft, sheer, dainty and excellent in color and design. At least large percentage of the high grade cotton voiles measure up to this standard, and this season very delightful things are done with the fine cotton voiles checked in white and color.
 The checks are of different sizes, but the rather small checks are per haps the prettiest, and these in pink and white, lilac and white. green and white etc. make fascinating little frocks of a very simple type with pos sibly demure handkerchief collars of sheer white or with wide bands of white voiles or heavier white on skirt bottom, tunic bottom, loose open sleeves, etc.
 White voiles with black design, dot, sprig, outlining alrge flower groups, are good looking, especially when laid over delicate pink or flesh color.
