with contempt but as a general thing
people along the Rhine and in Berlin
are friendly TO our men and even go
out OF their way AT times to show
they have no hard feelings against

individuality. From two to six prac-
tiCally the same fabrics are used in
dresses for all seasons and, of course,
the really washable materials take
first place.
Shocking and novelty embroideries
are popular trimming touches for
frocks developed in all fabrics. The
cross stitch or sampler embroidery is
exceptionally effective. Whole scenes
from favorite fairy tales are often
embroidered on simple. plain cham
bray dresses.
Simple little frocks of dark colored
wolfe are finished with detachable col
lars and cuffs and often pockets as
well. made Of crisp white organdy.
The sketch shows a comfortable lit
tie sEAock dress to be made of dark
colored linen or heavy cotton. with
" nit" yoke. collar and cuffs. black
patent leather belt is run through
openings holding the dress in at the
wa 81 line. Matching boomers should
accompany such a dress.
For party wear this summer the
nrlEe f3vorite Of the little girl is the
trnCk of georEette, trimmed with
tuckS or hemstitching. or with dainty
embroidery in contrasting color.
Ca?es have held the center of the
stage as wraps for all ages of femi-
uinity this season. The models shown
for very little girls are charming.

First the Filet Lace.

When 1t became apparent to those
who sell sports garments that the ordi
nary WOODEN sweater had had its de V
as fashionable garment there was a
strong attempt to introduce sonnet nng
eccentric.
This was achieved in the filet lace
sweater which followed the genuine tilet
lace patterns in wool, not in cotton
thread.
The idea was well received The
sweater had good sale. The seed
sown then has b!ossomed into rare and
ColorfUl fruit. The fiIet foundation is
considered necessary for the new types
OF sweaters. and upon it are worked
out various schemes of design and
Cooration.
Perhaps the entire foundation of the
new type of garment rests upon the
desire to loosen the stitches of the
knitted wool and drop into Il fiet de-
sign.
This was the beginning of the end
of tn. old sweater and the chance for
i new garment; one that will probably
sweep the country and become estab-
liShed in our coStumery.
