the only trimming that the dress Is
allowed, the rest Of II being quite plain
and simple, with only the simplest of
plcoted edges to set 1t off. Another
motif OF these little flowers starts on
the right shoulder and floats over the
front OF the gown, to be fastened ut
the left side Of the helt. The dress

Cotton nets and cotton lnces are an
other combination which has received
much attention for summer wear and
for spring reception and purity dresses.

Lace, too, is still favorite with
