grouped with cotton fabrics when
these are thought of in terms Of
washable materials. Not few Of the
smart morning frocks of Canton crepe
and crepe de chine are especially de-
signed and trimmed to the end that
they may go to the laundry and not
be sent to the dry cleaner.
AT the same time many OF the cot
ton fabrics pass out of the washable
class because of their trimming.
Wooden embroidery, simple and trtex-

There are some women who will on
general principles steer clear of the
temptation to possess a chintz frock.
They have indelibly associated chintz
with window hangings and chair COW
erings and that settles it. Neverthe-
less this material, in designs espe-
cially devised for frocks, has a strong
appeal to the younger woman as a
possible dress fabric.

an effect of hair stripes is achieved
