Summer Gowns
Soft and Dainty

the waist arestrimmed in the same way
and hemstitching finishes the short
sleeves. A soft linen sash is knotted
about the waist. This model Is equally
effective when developed In delicate
pink linen.
A fluffy frock for a young girl is
yellow handkerchief linen and has a
straight, short skirt with tiers of
founces at the sides only. These are
piped with white and extend from the
waistband to the hem almost like ruff
fled side panels. The waist is cut
with short kimono sleeves and a "
shaped neck. A surplice collar of
white linen bound with the yellow
material crosses In the front, the ends
slipping under narrow sash which
ties In bow at the back.
Chemise Effects.
Many imported dresses are of fine
voiles. These, too, are in chemise
form. Frenchwomen like their lin
gerie frocks made in chemise effect.
In America, while most women prefer
a waistline in dresses of cotton fabric,
lingerie dresses of this type have been
adopted to considerable extent.
Cotton crepe has never until recently
been given serious consideration for
dresses Heretofore we thought 1t
rather ordinary. Now it Is made into
such lovely. models that we have
changed our opinion about it. This is
an interesting example Of how the SIM
plest of fabrics gain distinction when
made in smart designs.
An attractive dress of white cotton
crepe with printed design in bright
red and green is in chemise form with
kimono sleeves. 1t is made over a
foundation Of thin white silk, the bot
tom of which is banded with an inch
wide strip Of green crepe, making
shadow stripe Of green through the
white. The neck and sleeves are fin
ished in the same manner.
Chinese yellow crepe with design
in blue is used for another chemise
frock. The belt is made from braided
strands of blue cotton cord. Both Of
these models, although very simple, are
extremely effective.
In voile, organdie and batiste dresses
drawnwork and little ruffles are the
important trimming features, the ruff
fles very often running horizontally.
Net is used for both insertion and ruff
fles. When lace is chosen 1t Is usually
yalenciennes, outlining white collar
and cuffs that are very simple.

wolfe has deep tucks encircling the
skirt. Threads are drawn in the tucks
to give the effect of Topped fringe.
The upper portion of the dress Is per-
fectly plain except for large fichu
collar Of the wolfe similarly fringed,
The sleeves are very short, ending
several inches above the elbow, and
are edged with double fringe of the
wolfe. An inch-wide navy blue velvet
ribbon girdles the frock. This model
is quite as lovely developed in pale
lavender wolfe and girdled with mauve-
gray velvet.
Plalds and Checks.
This summers Bingham frocks are
charming In the colors and patterns
of the materials as well as in the de-
signs. Both large and small plaids and
checks are used. Long waists and
apron skirts constitute the features.
One is of navy blue and white plaid
gingham barred with green. A straight
skirt is gathered to the long chemise-
like waist. Both the back and front
apron panels are gathered to wide
sash. This sash is not stitched firmly
to the dress, but merely caught by
few threads at either side in both
back. and front. To produce an even
longer wasted effect 1t ties low on the
hips.
Dotted swiss-always q favorite-is
used more than ever this year. The
colors in these are exquisite. First
comes the practical navy blue, finely
dotted with white.
