Spring House
Clothes
By Rita Stuyvesant.

T this season of the year when
n women are busy planning
their spring wardrobes, 1t is
well to iAclude a few pretty and
useful house dresses. These days
when SO many women are obliged
TO do their own housework and
many hours are spent in the home,
IL Is necessary to appear neat and
vet be comfortable to do ones
sweeping and dish-washing. Every
woman should take pride in ap-
pearing well dressed about the
house as IL leaves a pleasant inn
pression on the family and especial
iy with children in later years.
practical house dress that is
e.s,ly laundered Is cut in one piece
with elbow-length kimono sleeves
and is Iaced" down the 'front.'.
There is a two or three inch belt OF
self material at the waist to con-
6ne the fullness. This apron dress
is best made from French blue
chambray or linene and trimmed
with white collar and band Guns
Big pockets may also be patched on
the front and are found convenient
to hold ones change purse and
"hankie."
pink, green or yellow chambray
IS also attractive, for the mouse
gown and striped and checked glng-
hams are we'll liked. Snp-on mod-
els are fashioned with square necks
and are outlined with bands OIL tne
nateria, IL one finds the white
TIN, ming too perishable, plain pink
or anv barmonizing color may be
substituted. ,
For something little more
dressy when ones work is oone
there are some charming afternoon
frocks of French crepe that are
really lovely. Lavender crepe sim.
nIv fashioned with big collar and
cuffs of white organdie makes an
attractive little gown for the house.
A dress Of this type was recently
seen with a plain bodice buttoned
in the back and short kimono
sleeves. A big roll collar OF the
organdie, made detachable for
laundering, finishes the neck and
bands. too, OF this same crisp fabric
cuff the sleeves.
This lovely frock might also be
developed in old blue or old rose
crepe with white organdie trim
mines. Several sets of collars and
cuffs will afford a change, so that a
fresh set may always be worn.
Another smart model that Is prac-
focal for home wear comes In navy
blue voile with worsted embroidery
in bright green. This frock Is In
two parts. consisting OF rather
full skirt and hip-length over
blouse. The overblouse has short
sleeves cut In one with the body
and is outlined with wool at neck
and sleeves. when a eirdle of
braided worsted is looped about the
hips. the result In charming enough
for any little housewife.
