Pinch Tucks Are Last Word
4 Daily Fashion Talk BY Florence Rose

THERE are wonderfully tempting
i values in the shops these days. Per-
haps the price tags back up the idea of
buy all you can Afford and maybe
they are all the more inviting because
the merchandise to which they are at
taChed appeals so strongly to the eye.
At any rate. there Is good value re-
ceived for many of the so-called bar
gains the shops are Offering. | have
used the word 'so-Called' because the
word bargain has had something of
bad name recently. one is apt, there
fore, to associate il with something that
no one desired, not only because of the
reduced rate signified on the tag, but
because of the style of the garment or
the material of which it is made.
Times, however. are changed and one
Of the factors which enables the retailer
to give you better value for your money
today Is that as the fashions do not
huctuate as they did some time ago he
is really selling you good summer style
in order that he may clear his racks
for the fan goods for which he must
soon find space.
1t would seem that these sales are
earlier this season than ever before and
the woman is thereby favored, for as
the summer has only just begun. she is
enabled to buy a summer frocll at a
reasonable price and get her money out
of her purchase this season.
This fact was brought TO my mind
recently when ! saw the reasonable
price tags attached to some very good
looking organdie frocks. which earlier
in the season had been away up" and
still retained their freshness and style.
The artist has made a sketch today
for you of one of the new organdie
frocks which is lovely in its simplicity.
The bodice, which is of the organdie,
is held in fine pinch tucks which form
small squares. At the shoulder and
under the arms these front and back
sections are held together with lacings
of ribbon.
The sleeves and skirt are of the plain
organdie, the tucked organdie forming
a banding on each.
