The important thing, however, about
these dresses is the manner In which
they carry the impression Of Increased
width and not an impression really so

quantity Of material used In the skirts
The means whereby the width is at

the dresses for southern wear, the
apron is the most prominent feature.

Pink Taffeta Afternoon Froek.
A rose pink afternoon frock Is typi

charming way. The silk is the color
of frosty raspberry Ice, with girdle
Of ribbon Of lavender which tones In
