Linen gowns? Oh, yes, I'm show
ing a variety Of ,colors with various
trimmings and embroideries," ma
dame said in answer to an inquiry
from Mrs. Lemuel Dobson. But the
lines are more or less the same in all
these frocks-simple blouses and mar
row skirts. Sometimes I vary the
blouse with peplum. long or short"
LET 1t be cool, that's all ask.
Mrs. Dobson replied.
II have some softly woven linens
in white with embroidery of blue.
rose or yellow, that are quite effec-
tive. The natural linen Is also very
attractive embroidered in blue. henna
and rose. I'll show you a frock !
have in mind, and then you may de-
eide on the coloring," madam then
said.
Turning to me she continued:
"Show the white linen with the
blue wool embroidery"
This is very effective morning
frock which has been popular in va
rious color schemes.
wool embroidery. Madam, why DC
you do it? Won't we ever learn tc
be consistent? Why embroider a
summer gown in wool thread?" Mrs
Dobson questioned.
Don't ask me-" replied madame
"The effect is good looking. That Is
sufficient excuse in fashions. Wool
embroidery continues to be smart on
every manner Of summer frock."
Il am already converted to the
charm of wool embroidery even for
summer" Mrs. Dobson exclaimed
when I appeared in this dress. Its
certainly very fetching"
"Of course It is. That's why do It. p"
replied Madame. You will like the
cool effect of this tiny tucked guimpe
of white batiste, I know
Il like the whole gown. 1t Is SO simple
and attractive. Those parallel lines OF
wool embroidery around the waistline
are extremely effective. also like the
shoestring belt of white linen. though,
think a blue grosgrain ribbon or suede
belt would be equally attractive" Mrs
Dobson suggested. .
$50 it would" replied Madame. But
the linen belt is just little cooler look
ing, perhaps. The belt might also be
blue wool crochet" she continued.
Now what color scheme shall have
for the embroidery" Mrs. Dobson In
qured. IT prefer white linen. to tan
l think, because it's a little more
uItoSy.
you're right about that. though tar
is always smart. Tan with old blue
embroidery is a particularly effective
combination"
IT think I'll have white with rose EN-
broidery, Madame, because / have the
loveliest rough weave rose straw ha'
that will be very attractive with this
dress. It's trimmed with velvet peoples
that shade from pink to deep rose
Mrs. Dobson said.
That hat should be perfect with TIL:
dress embroidered in rose. Suppose
make it up for you in this weave white
linen with rose embroidery" Madame
said I'm also embroidering parasol'
of linen to match. and facing then
with pongee of the same color as the
embroidery. How would you like one
to go with it?"
"Td like it very much. Please let me
have both the gown and the paraso
lust as soon as you can.
~ can deliver them both in about two
weeks" said Madame. 1T takes a lit
tie time for the embroidery, although
it is done in this conventional pattern
which works up quickly with heavy
floss"
