CUMMERTIME sets many lovely
= scenes as backgrounds for the
summer girl, or anyone else who takes
these backgrounds into consideration
when choosing her frocks. For most
of us, practical clothes for this work
aday world in which we find ourselves
are as important at least as those that
are decorative, and it happens that
the ginghams. chambrays, percales and
other dependable cOttons that make
our frOcks for work have attractions
equal to those that make the dresses OF
our leisure hours. Special designers
plan these dresses on lines that prove
as charming as any others.
But the business Of living requires
us to have frocks for play and leisure.
and summer brings with it the crisp,
diaphanOus stuffs that belong to it
alone. Organdie and dotted swiss have
their day under the skies of summer,
and she is wise who makes the most
of it. These materials come in the
most exquisite and flOwer-like color
ings and in white that-looks as cool
as snow; they are within the means
of everyone and the easiest to make
up neatly. The pretty models, as
shown in the picture, are very simply
designed and very successful. The

especially so in the popular shades. as
peach, jade. orchid. pale pink, blue or
canary. Although many organdie and
swiss dresses combine two cOlors, or
a color and white, this dress uses only
one. 1t has straight skirt with
wide tucks, a plain waist with tucked
vestee, and an ample fichu-collar. The
sleeves are elbow length and the
girdle is made Of Organdie.
Many kinds of flowers are made OF
organdie and used for trimmings on
frocks of this material. Peach-colored
orsandie, in tucked frock with bod
ice cut in kimonO style, has flat roses
in different colors set about its round
neck. and makes wonderful back
ground for them.
Snowy white dots on a blue ground,
in the swiss dress at the right, make
one think of snowflakes against dark
blue sky and looks cool and crisp as
Dossible. 1t has white Organdie
collar and vestee, short sleeves with
double cuffs of organdie bound with
dotted Swiss and blue ribbon sash. A
few sprays of foliage embroidered in
the tunic in white wool finish OF
little dress that is equal to almost any
summertime function.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROO1

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.

NEW LACES ARE YOUTHFUL
Material Affords Ideal Summery Eve
ming Gowns and Enhances Grace
of Youthful Silhouettes.

What could be more youthful or
more charming than the dainty. filmy-
colored laces offered for our admira-
tion? They make ideal summery eve
ming gowns and more than anything
vet created enhance the slim grace OF
Young silhouettes. The laces of this
season were most certainly designed
for youth! The new shades, so soft,
are exquisitely becoming. Lace is, in
itself, enough ornamentation and In
consequence dresses of this delightful
stuff should be absolutely trimming
less.
A charming frock worn by one of
the guests at recent fashionable
wedding was fashioned of fine cream
colored silk net with edgings of
graceful design worn over an under
slip of citron messaline satin. The
bodice was exceedingly snug, the short
sleeves and yoke being cut in one.
In contrast to the severity Of the
corsage was the widely bouffant skirt
of Spanish origin. The girdle of cit
ron tulle had floating draperies fall
ing over the sides of the skirt, swing
ing a long tassel at each end.

There is a run OH black and white

One of the most successful entertain

Paris, writes correspondent, was the
Black and White ball, which came off
recently at the Theater des Champs
Elysees.
1t was immensely brilliant and
everyone admired the black and white
walls and pillars, which made such an
effective background for the exquisite
and beautifully dressed women who
crowned the big theater.
In one lovely model white organdie
and black satin were combined with
great success. The whole front of
the dress was organdie-a series of
gauffered frills arranged in neat rows
with black ball buttons running right
down the front. This was an exceed
ingly chic model, the perfection OF
good taste and elegance.
One white model has short sleeves.
