NE of the reasons for the peren-
" NAL return Of taffeta to feminine
favor, for spring anu summer frocks,
Is its durability. 1t is manufactured
now in soft qualities that still retain
Its crispness and no one need hesitate
to include taffeta in planning a sum-
mer wardrobe. II is the ideal mate
rial for the present mode of the long
waistline and the full skirt, sponsored
by many models from the spring open
lngs in Paris that show the low waist
lines, longer skirts, with a little more
fullness and bouffant in outline. The
models illustrated include all these
authentic style points. The one with
the short straight skirt depends al
most entirely, upon the material for
adornment, but taffeta Is In itself an
invitation to ribbons to come and be
at home with 1t; therefore the skirt
has a trimming of self cOrding and
two rows and bows of narrow MORE
ribbon In a contrasting color. Puff
ings of the silk over the hips give II
the desired bouffant effect. Having
