| or broad moires and chiffon weight
taffetas. The ribbons are almost as
broad as the single width taffetas, and
yet so soft that they fall in graceful,
slender lines. Even the simplest dress
| Is given wonderful amount of style
when big ribbon sash is properly adj
| justed.
A generous use of white organdie
with silk has been, and still is, a
| favorite combination with this firm.
In the spring they made entire foun-
] dalton dresses of tucked and plated
white organdie, with overskirts of dark
serge. The costume was then COM
pleted by a blue serge cape lined with
white organdie.
| Little dresses made entirely of blue
serge or silk had fluffy white organdie
frf1ls down the entire length of the
front, which Tapped after the manner
of the coat dress. They have incor-
porated the same idea in a perfectly
charming way into their midsummer
things, featuring extensively black
taffeta combined with white organdle.
For the chateau life, which abounds In
France, nothing more appropriate can
be imagined than these charming
| dresses.
Model With TWO Jackets.
The body of a notable model, which
is cut in chemise style, is made Of
white organdie. It begins with tiny
pin tucks placed at the depth of a
very shallow yoke. These pin tucks
continue to below the hip line, where
they begin to widen gradually until
the last tuck which JUST above the
knees is two inches wide. Below this
broad tuck the remainder of the dress
is Of black taffeta.
There is a black taffeta ribbon
girdle finishing with a big rosette and
lots of flying ends of taffeta ribbon.
Where the plain organdie yoke and
sleeves join the body of the dress
there is little line Of open work, and
on the very short sleeves, which are
practically nothing more than shoulder
caps, are two dainty frills of real VAL
enciennes lace. A single outstanding
frill of lace surrounds the half low,
round neck.
The story is not complete with just
this little dress, the adorable part be-
Ing the fact that it has two jackets,
one in pure white organdie and the
other in black taffeta. Both jackets
are made in exactly the same style
and are trimmed with wide plaitings
of matching materials. the white or
candle one with white organdie and
the black taffeta one with black taft
feta. The jacket sleeves are very,
short, leaving the arms almost bare.
The plated ruche stands up about the
neck and follows the one-side Tapped
front. Just at the waistline there
is a big rosette of the plating with a
button center, and at either side are
double rows of plaitings, which stand
out over the hips.
Can one imagine anything more
chic or cool to wear at tennis, tea
or garden party? If one has oc-
CASTOR for hasty drive to the station
the white organdie jacket. is imme-
diately replaced by the one Of black
taffeta. When milady goes indoors
for music or dancing either jacket is
quickly laid aside and the charming
little dress, almost infantile in its sim
plicity, is all that can be desired in
an afternoon dancing frock.
The dress has been ordered by half
a dozen women of high social position,
and one can imagine that there will
hardly be an important social event
during the summer season in France
where this costume will not be seen.
1t is to be copied in crepe georgette
for American women who find it diff
cult to preserve the pristine freshness
of organdie when their trunks are
packed and unpacked.
