Advance showing of pretty after
noon frocks for summer. reveal many
lovely models made of sheer, plain
voile. Besides these, there are striped
and figured voiles and among them
some fine, imported weaves, that are
to be reckoned with. The latter are
high priced, in fact considerably moro
expensive than plain geOrgette. They
appear in patterns and color cOmbina-
tions that are very beautiful. But
even so, the dress of plain voile or
georgette rarely suffers by comparison
with rival made of the figured pat
terms. The home dress maker will
succeed oftener with n plain fabric,
especially If she makes a little excur-
sion in designing on her own account.
The frock of plain voile shown in
the picture, bespeaks the work Of n
professional designer who is trained
to make the most of fabrics-that Is to
adapt them to styles In the best way.
In this case nothing Is used with the
volle but little silk piping. but these
simple means proved equal to making
. dress of smart distinction and one
that is easy enough to copy.
All the sheer fabrics nre made up
over silk or satin and this frock has
an underskirt and bodice of silk. A
wide fiounce of the voile is set on
The Ordway new era., 1919-04-04

The coat Is pretty model with three
wide tucks at the bottom and 1t opens
over a waistcoat of plain tricolette
that is very smart. 1t has wide turn
over collar and row of large bone
buttons down the left side.
Braid and buttons decorate the pref
ty suit that is shown built on entirely
different lines from Its companion in
the picture. 1t has a plain skirt wide
enough to be comfortable for walking.
The coat is made with long side bodies
and short panel at the center of the
back to which n gathered skirt portion
is added. Three groups of braid. with
three rows In each group ending in
bone buttons. dispose of the braid
and button decoration in neat, tailored
fashion, on the panel. The same deco
ration on the skirt portion ends in but
tons on the side pieces and this plan
is followed out on the front. For
those who do not like braid or want a
change from 1t the styles offer cross
bar and other arrangements of pin
tucks and groups Of wider tucks in the
material.
The Ordway new era., 1919-04-04

the underskirt and above it tunic is
accomplished by three hemmed
flounces set one above another. These
are all narrower at the right than
at the left side, so that the tunic Is
longer at the left side.
The bodice is made In the effect of
a little jacket of. the voile, bordered
with band of 1t, set on with piping
of silk. The jacket reveals n vestee.
also made of the voile and decorated
with cross-bar tucks and the sleeves
are set into deep cuffs of the tucked
voile. For girdle ribbon woven in
checkerboard pattern proves an ef-
fective bit of craftsmanship with little
pendent balls of silk set on the bodice
just above 1t at each side.
The Ordway new era., 1919-04-04

There are several styles in suits that
have almost equal chances for popu-
larity this spring and the only way I,
determine which is the best choice Is
to try them on. Straight, short coats.
opening over vestees, with narrow
plain skirts, are universally admired.
but they are not universally becoming.
If they were there is no doubt but that
this type of suit would soon lead all
the rest. The test of becomingness
must settle the question of choice; no
other consideration is so important.
But there is quite wide range In
styles to choose from, so that every
woman may be confident of finding the
particular one that suits her best.
One of the straight-coat-and-nar
skirt models is shown In the picture
and 1t is an extreme example of this
mode, with skirt rather too narrow
to be practical. But to the woman
who aspires to look slender it will GER
tainly make strong appeal. for the
skirt is long as well as narrow. The
very thin woman cannot consider 1t.
