quite the contrary. In fact, that is
one of the last accomplishment one

Humble bingham Takes Place Of Honor

the little Cinderella Of the cotton

ease and dignity AS far as price
marks are concerned. she ranks with
the long line OF the loved after
noon gowns OF crepe de chine and
taffeta and georgette crepe, but. as
for wearing qualities, there she Sc
renely outstrips them. AS for coll
ors and designs. the variety is great

would seem.
Sheer white lawn or organdie is
combined with many of the ging-
hams in fine checks and stripes of
light and dainty cOlOrs. one pretty
gown shown recently Of fine check
In light blue and white had a wide
sailor collar. deep cuffs, belt and
patch pockets. I'm what has some
times been called tennis style, of
finely tucked white organdie. An
other brown and white mixture, is
trimmed with white scalIoped in a
harmonizing shade of brown. The
favorite combination of delicate
pink and blue appears to excellent
advantage in ginEham, and the ad-
dition Of trimmings of sheer or
candle with pin tucks and lace
edgings and insertions turns the
frock into as dainty a creation as
one could ask. A pretty blue and
white striped bingham with deep
flounces. ed~ed with bands of stripes
running at right angles 10 the
flounces themselves, and with plain

similar landings and plain blue

with pipinss of the plaid or with
some plain color harmonizing with
it, The combinations are plenty
and. if the color is beautiful. the
