with patches and frills and hounces
Of white organdie are being wonder
fully done. Organdie In pure white
is used with ginghams, with calicoes,
with chintzes, with sateens, with
swiss with crepes, with other or
candles, with silks-yes, with every
fabric known to the summer ward
robe. White organdie In some form
or another is almost a necessity, and
there is this to be said for II; when 1t
is used, that dress wherein It is in4
corporated is bound to be a success,
for the crispness Of the transparent
white stuff is so becoming that 1t
cannot be rivaled by any other ma
terial or trimming.
In some cases bits Of white lace are
combined with the white organdie to
make the trimming more notable, but
the lace is fine and narrow. Filet
has gone out of fashion more or less
perhaps because it was so consistent
ly overdOne-and in its place we have
the real bits of valenciennes, the em1
broidered swiss trimmings. The lat
ter embroideries are coming along In
cOlors made to match the tones of the
materials, and these are as good lookl
ing as the spring dyed laces have been,
with a character all their own to
make them notable. The cream-col4
ored swiss embroideries are extreme
ly good looking when used on ging4
ham and organdie dresses for collars
or fichus, or sometimes just for tiny
turned-back, edgings.
The heavier silks and the silk
jerseys in different sorts of weaves
are very much to be desired for sum-
mer costumes that have to be SUBJ
jected to more or less Of hard wear.
After all, the lighter materials must
be most delicately worn and treated,
If they are to retain for any time the
crispness which makes them what they
are. But the loosely woven and crepy
silks are the things that can be worn
and worn and still hang on to the
quality that was with them when they
were created. For this reason, If for
no other, they are highly interesting
additions to the summer things for
country and town wear. Then, they
are cool to wear and N most instances
they can be washed, so that they COM
bine many attributes in one.
The Wlnsome Bingham Dress
A gingham dress that is much at
mired daily has a little underskirt Of
the ubiquitous organdie and little
yoke with quantity puffed white or
candle sleeves. Then, at the places
where the bingham meets the organ
die there are bookings with bindings
of black cotton braid. 1t makes
little picture dress most becoming to
some types Of women. and in it's SIM
plicity 1t has everything to recon-
mend 1t.
Another Bingham frock has a plain
turned-back collar Of the embroidered
swiss. Then the tiny, short sleeves
have narrow turned-back edging of
the same trimming. The Bingham is
in cool green and white checks and
the trimming is Of that deep cafe an
lait tone that combines so nicely with
the shades Of green. The collar IS
rounded and the simplest sort Of
narrow black velvet ribbon bow is
poised under the chin.
An organdie frock is made Of a
shade Of yellow termed maize. 1t is
deep lustrous tone. It's trimming
is made Of simple pufings of white
organdie not more than an inch and
half wide when finished. They edge
the low and rounded neckline; they
form two rows on the short, tightly.
