There is wide diversity concerning
new thin frocks. with chndren's
frocks and to a lesser degree with
those of women and young girls
sashes made Of matching material art
tied in the back while those of con
trastinG material tie at the left or
right side or directly in the front
Figured yoile frocks made by one
by stitching together lengths Of or
gandie in the three or four colors pre- :
dominant in the figure-usually pastel
shades o. others rather mild in color
intensity.
There are good looking summer frocks
of simple design and cut that depend for
much OF their distinction on girdles of
four or five inch black velvet ribbon
showing a wide spray Of wool-embroid-
placed so as to extend across the front
Of the waist, the plain black ribbon
going around and tying with long ends
at the back. These black velvet ribbon
girdles are a good touch in not few
Of the cotton frocks. but if you recall
the tendency of black velvet ribbon to
curl at the end when used in this way
YOU will forestall this mishap by attach
ing black silk tassel at the ends of
the ribbon. Tassels. though not so
ago. are not out of the picture when
used in this way. In fact. tassels, small
tassels of the sort that suggest up
holstery trimming. are shown applied
in rows to trim two or three new frocks.
An attractive device OF linen frock
is to have the sash run through button
holed or picoted Sits.
Sometimes this idea Of lacing between
picOted Sits is used merely as decora-
ton. Narrow ribbon is sometimes en-
ployed. while one of the American de-
signers uses fine strips OF black patent

No one who has been even for a short
time at any Of the southern resorts can
have failed to notice the renewed inter-
est in what we Americans like to call
the white lingerie dress" BY that. of
course. we mean a frock of some wash
able white material. batiste, handker-
chief linen. lawn or Swiss usually, COM =
bined with white lace and hand en-
broidery. And there is little doubt in
clothes tendencies but that this type OF
frock will flourish again in more north
ern resorts as it has not done for a dec
ade or more.
1t is type OF frock that does not
always appeal to the great designer or
costumer. Its charm to most women
depends not so much on line or cut as
on fine technique Of hand work. which
her trained eye has learned to appraise
at glance. The simplicity of the. line
is often broken by an intricacy of close
embroidery. hand-run tucks, lace insets
or medallions. But whatever may be
its artistic limitations it possesses
strong appeal. II the superabundance
Of lace and hand embroidery makes it
ostentatious it presents quiet sort of
ostentation that could scarcely be
thought in bad taste.
There seems to be no limits set con-
cerning the variety Of laces or embroid-
cry that may be combined in the new
lingerie frocks, frequent combination
being filet set against Valenciennes sur
rounded by mebroidery on fine linen
Again you see fine Irish lace combined
with Valenciennes that is quite remi-
niscent Of the taste Of ten years ago
