with a tunic of figured voile. The waist has short sleeves, cut in one
 with front and back and the round neck is slashed at the front, turned
 back to form tiny revers and faced with the tunic material. There is an artistically draped sash of plain
 voile.
 Among the novelty organdys are the
 cross-bar checks with self-color lines.
 One in pink has two tiny rufles about
 the hips of the plain gathered skirt,
 and ruff1es on the flare sleeves and
 round neck. Another charming de
 sign, also in pink, has a six ruffle skirt, with groups of lavender moire ribbon and pink roses poised on every other one. A high waistline is marked with a wide lavender sash. The col lar used on this frock is an odd shape, round at the back and at. the front falling into a ruffie framed on either side of a straight-line neck, which is finished with band of filet lace. The sleeves are short Der uff1ed bells, set in.
 Simple organdys in the dark shades, which make them practical for street wear, seem to be more in evidence this season and are always good in warm weather. Entirely chic is a plain brown organdy with group rows of hSli-oIllCA1uS TUT luG U with the exception of the ribbon sash in matching color.

Dimities are rather interestingly used to trim ging- ham frockS and are rather newer in effect than the more usual organdy trimming A black and white plaid gingham made in Russian blouse style has pipings of white dimity about the neck and cuffs of dimity. A dark blue and white plaid has a vest of dimity and deep flare cuffs of the same ma terial finishing the sleeves. The vestee is embroidered in Ose and blue. A patent leather belt is about the waist line. The leather belt is a complement of both the high and low priced ging- hams this season; wherever one sees gingham the narrow patent leather
 belt is sure to be.
 Some of the newer capes are mak- ing their appearance, there being lit
