themselves evident in those spring
fr0cks that are made of printed cot
tons or silks. Women have turned
again to clothes that are truthfully de-
scribed as pretty. Not rich or snowy,
but just full of pretty touches, in color
and material and in style and Access
Sories. All the way from simple
porch dresses to frocks for all sorts
OF afternoon wear, there are pretty
things in clothes made from new fab
RIGS.
In cotton, there are English prints,
percale, printed wolfe, cotton foulard
and lawns to be reckOned with for
making the simple dresses that are so
naive and dainty. They provide many
lovely colors and are combined with
fine organdie in frocks that are charm
ing. Some of these fabrics are bor-
dered, as in times gone by, and these
borders make accessories, as the
pockets, girdle and collar, that set off
the pattern in the material and en-
phasize it's color and character.
