finished in either round or square outline.
To the short sleeves could be added turn
back cuffs Of organdy, edged with en-
, broidcry OF lace.
Still another way TO make up the design
attractively would be in tafcta, with
revers and standing collar Of self-material,
piped with silk in one Of the soft pastel
shades. the piping being continued az the
sides where the skirt is slashed and down
either side OF the panel effect az the front.
The sleeves could be heightened, Il pre-
ferred. Thus, the idea could be extended
to as many different styles as there are
home dressmakers copying the model.
Accommodating itself to the vogue Of
featuring frills and tucks, is a charming
organdy in soft shade Of apple green.
Three deep frills trim the gathered skirt,
and while the skirt itself is straight, the
| frills suggest the circular effect which is
constantly growing in favor. The waist,
with N-shaped neck, has a deep collar and
| fastens at one side. Edging the collar and
skirt founces are narrow frills Of self
material, accordion plated. A narrow
strip Of two-toned ribbon is added to the
soft girdle Of organdy.
Foulard silk is 50 delightfully."- wearable
as well as good-looking that It Is going 10
play an important part in the wardrobes
Of Spring and Summer. Il IS quite as
attractive as many Of the high-priced
silks and satins, and much more within
the means Of the woman who has but a
limited amount for clothes each season. A
model in blue and white foulard that is
both generally becoming and easy TO copy
has the skirt and blouse joined under a
girdle that is cut in one with the applied
front of the blouse. Blanket-stitch EN-
broidery in blue outlines the collar, cuffs
quantity shaped pockets and applied
blouse-front, supplying just enough oi
decoration for stylish effect, yet keeping
within the bounds OF simplicity.
For morning wear there are design'
a-plenty, and these are fashioned in q
number Of pretty cotton fabrics. Hand
kerchief linen and linen in heavy weave:
are also employed, but despite the DECLINE
in prices, linens are not very far below
what they brought during the war. lr
fact. il is claimed that Il will be some tint
before they reach their pre-war levels
Checks, small figures and plaids pre-
dominate in the fabrics for morning
dresses, though there are handsome
ginghams in the pastel shades. SO severely
simple are most Of the models that Their
is no contrasting touch on sleeves or belt
Just the collar being Of white pique o
organdy. Tucks are used on skirts an'
make an acceptable trimming. Usual,
they are wide and few in number. Fin
tucks generally are reserved for Afternoon
frocks Of organdy, crepe, Georgette, etc.
. The highly favored one-piece irock has
rival Of consequence in the separate blous
r. and skirt. The blouse, more popular tha
! ever, appears everywhere and in a varie
a, list Of materials. Nearly all Of the newe
{ styles tend to slim lines and youthil
neck effects. Models with the simpl

]. They are developed in natural colo

Overblouses Of satin, silk crepe de CHR
and crepe Georgette, il carefully plannes
however simple, and well-made, become
costume in the true sense Of the word whe
worn with the proper skirt. A simple tw'
piece model is ranked first, but there Al
other designs of indescribable chic ar
