teal sort Of chiffon frock.
Lace With satiste or oroandie.
1t Is interesting to observe anotiaer
way in which lace and batiste are
combined. Brown lace Is used for a
chemse top cut just like long smock
reaching TO low hipline. A double
,iece of ecru batiste Is attached 10
the bottom of the smock to make II
straight skirt. Where the two are
joined garland of batiste flowers
veined with brown is applied. A sash
of narrow brown ribbon girdles the
waistline.
The same idea might be carried out
In lace and Organdie. Brown lace
with organdie of the same color but
slightly lighter in shade is effective,
or lace may be dyed any color and
used with white organdie. With the
wonderful choice of ribbons that we
have now very distinctive effect may
be given by the sash.
Still another ples sing use of brown
is seen In an evening frock. This is

a somewhat high neck and cap sleeves,

The first warm days often find us
iQuIte unprepared in the matter of
clothes. This is especially true after
cold, late spring such as the one just
passed, which offered little incentive
to buying thin frocks. So, If we have
delayed In our shopping, writes Il
prominent fashion correspondent. 1t
means that we confront a real prob
iem-that Of getting suitable warm
weather wardrobe together quickly.
The difficulty Is to get clothes that
will give service for the greatest num-
Der of occasions. In the summer we
frequently face the unpleasant fact
that we have not the right dress for
the occasion. and nothing is more dis
comforting than the feeling OF being
unsuitably dressed.
We are realizing more and more the
need of the practical combined with
beauty In our clothes. The sensible
woman, however, never sacrifices
beauty to the purely practical. In the
this combination. No fabric has yet
been able to Supplant the SOOd, SUD
stantial navy blue georgette crepe for
wear on hot days, offering as 1t does
the advantages of GOODNESS and light
ness.
There are those who. I'm their desire
to help reduce the high cost of living,
talk Of tho economy of Bingham, but
a Bingham dress Is never an economy
rather it is luxury to be enjoyed
in the country. In the first place, ging.
hams are anything but inexpensive
and, Furthermore, frocks made from
them require frequent and careful
laundering, which under existing con
ditiOns means constant additional eX-
pense. Even with the best of care they
never look quite the same after visit
to the laundry.
