The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1921-07-15

VINO always demand beauty IN Inelf
clothes, but the full skirt is among
us. 1t is not nearly so beautiful in
model of cloth as those which follow
the natural lines of the figure, but 1t
is much more suitable to the dress of
wash material than the peasant chem
ise.
Youthful Model, oroandie Trimmings.
A charming dress for warm sum-
mer mornings may be made of red and
white checked Bingham In the follow
ing way: Cut the bodice portion just
like a chemise dress with kimOno
sleeves and gather a full skirt to this
slightly below the normal waIstline
The neck may be squared or round
and finished with bias fold of bright
red organdie underlaid with one Of
white. The sleeves may be cut Off at
any length desired, although rather
short ones would be attractive, and
these should be edged with Organdie
In two colors to match the neck.
Now make narrow belt of the red
organdie or of the Bingham If you
like, and line 1t with white, allow
ing the white to show at either edge
In the form of a piping Ornament
this with two tiny stiff fiat bows Of
the red, faced with white. Tie the Cir
die in the back, permitting the stiff
little bows to come at either side of
the front. The skirt may be plain or
II may have two large tucks encircling
It, If further Ornamentation is de-
sired, sew the tucks In long running
stitch with red worsted and trim the
neck and sleeves in the same way.
Neither worsted nor Organdie is
new trimming for bingham dresses,
but evidently designers have not been
able to think Of anything -pfettier to
take their place, for we have them
used more profusely than ever this
year. This is especially true of or
candle. Quantities Of organdle frills,
both gathered and plated, are seen.
If. you are youthful amateur
,dressmaker you may prefer the Mex
lean note sponsored so strongly by
Jeanne Lanvin of Paris in her spring
and summer collection of clothes. a
frock shows the straight bodice just
described, with Mexican collar fas-
tened to one side. BY way of variety,
this skirt Is plated and cut longer in
the front and back than it is at the
sides, but any plain skirt may be used
with bodice such as this.
Embroideries are not lacking on
wash dresses, but they are reserved
more especially for models of linen
or crash A straightline froch Of nat
ural color crash is most attractive
with heavy embroideries in brown.
The skirt portion was embroidered
with heavy threads of mercerized
brown cotton from the hem to about
the knees; it was a chemise dress,
The bottom Of the sleeves were orna-
mented In like manner, and so was a
narrow collar which stood straight
up around the neck, but turned down
In the front, as the dress was slashed
and folded back to form revers.
Dress That Harks Back to 1890.
new way of using worsted EN-
brOldery on a linen frock, and also
of obtaining a good deal of color
appears in a demure gray chemisC
dress. It has an apron tunic In
the front only, attached to the
waist portion at a low line. The
trimming consists of appllqued motifs
Of bright colored linen In novel shapes
stitched to the dress with worsted Of
contrasting hue.
AS variation Of the embroidered
; trimming, straight chemise frocks Of
heavy white llnen-the chemise mode
is used for the heavier fabrics-ar'
trimmed straight down front and bacE
panels with points Of red and white
checked gingham. The Bingham alsc
, is stitched in pointed effect around th'
neclSline, which is somewhat high bu
shallow oval in form, and around
the sleeves.
