Here is one of the prettiest and
smartest tricolette frocks of which

is simple yet there are many small
details about it which help to make
it one of the unusual and distinc-
tive styles of the hour.
First the profuse use of looped
fringe gives a novel effect. Three
rows of it are used on the blouse
in the manner of a stole collar and
these extend down the sides to the
hem of the skirt The apron pep
lGm both front and back is edged
with the fringe also.
But the fringe is not the only
novel feature of the frock. A black
satin waistcoat of peculiar lines
which buttons at the neck is a note
of contrast which brightens up the
white costume. White buttons trim
TIE black waistcoat and also the
long tight sleeves.
