The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-02-25


ETY. will be available. Now one can
attend to fittings and designings with
out being Frustrated by the heated
blasts of late spring and summer days.
Ones mind works more freely and Is
more subject to the inspiration sup
piled by the fresh new things being
displayed around every corner.
Materials Are Numerous.
The materials allowed for smart
summer frocks are as numerous as
the days of the summertime. There
is no hard and fast rule about what
shall be worn and what shall be taboo.
Indeed, If ever there was chance for
latitude 1t is right here and now, and
the individual may choose her clothes
according to her own likings and de-
sires with never a fear that they will
be running far afleld.
Organdie is perhaps the favorite of
all the thinner materials only be-
cause it is so very becoming to al
most every type Of womanhood and
girlhood, and childhood, for that mat
ter. A few years ago 1t started to
rise in popular favor, and its growth
In popularity has been a steadily In
creasing thing. The colors are what
make it so extremely attractive, for
they have reached the maximum of
perfection. The shades are as scin-
tillating as so much pure color, and
the fact that the thinness Of the fab
ric helps to catch and reflect the light
is something that is charming In it.
SELF Nothing can set up competition
with it. 1t is safe and sound and
unassailable. right there on its own
platform.
Some Of the organdie frocks are
made quite deliberately, while others
are most simple and unpretentious in
construction and workmanship. One
Of the more intricate models is made
Of sort Of maize colored organdie,
trimmed with inserts Of the same
| color and material made In fine pin
tuckings. These shapes are oval, are
inserted at intervals on the full skirt
| and are outlined in bands of lace in
sertion shaped to conform with the
outlines of the oval motifs. The lace
is cream colored and adds the only
| note Of relief from the predominance
| of the maize color. Another organdie
model has a skirt with narrower ruff
| fies extending all the way and in close
| succession from the hem to the waist.
| A panel just in front is made Of the
| organdie unadorned by ruffies, and
there is finely tucked vest, with a
sort Of an apology for an eton jacket.
There is velvet ribbon girdle of dark
sage green, while the organdie In the
gown is Of that light and singing
J green.
| The Dotted Swisses.
| Then there are the dotted swisses-
sisters to the organdie family. They
have dots Of color and dots Of the
same shade as the foundation mate
rial, dots that are large and dots that
are small, dots that are separated by
many inches from each other and dots
that are close together. Each new ar
rangement of the little dots gives a
whole new appearance and character
to the fabric, and each new handling
by designer gives a new touch that
makes the frock stand out as some
thing quite exquisite and fresh among
all the others. On the new summer
| frocks there are overskirts a-plenty,
and there is one of jade dotted or
candle made in sort of princess line
with side panels that are full and
make an effect like an overskirt. The
only trimming on this gown is an edg-
ing Of maize organdie laid on in a
two-inch double fold and outlining the
edges of the overskirt, the neckline
and the bell-shaped sleeves. 1t is an
| attractive color combination and a
new idea in the use Of a combination
Of dotted swiss and plain organdie.
