GOWNS TO SERVE
FOR THE SEASON

Of the serge models. The leather is
punched with eyelets In all sorts Of
designs. This idea is not new, bur
dressmakers report that It is just
now In the full bloom Of its popular
fly.
The dresses made entirely of leath-
err are very interesting. We have had
leather coats Of various sorts for many
years, but the chemlse frock of soft
kid Is new. The kid Is embossed In
way TO give the appearance of a
beautiful old brOcnded fabric that Is
closely akin to the lovely Venetian
book and portfolio covers in their mel.
low golden brown tones. These hues
usually are selected for leather
dresses.
Trimming would be out OF the qu6s-
ton on frocks such as these. The
sleeves are cut In one piece with the
dress and are short. coming well above
the elbow. There Is always wide
sash Of the soft leather which ties on
one side. Leather snshes such as
these have been used most effectively
by French dressmakers on countr,
frocks OF brlght:hued homespuns and
cheviots, which. like the leather
dresses, are made IN simple chemlse
form.
Very interesting are the trimmings
Of Rodier ribbons. especially the silk
serge ribbons In mixed colors. These
are used for girdles on serges and
stitched to the frocks in the form Of
folds.
The satin dress Is always more or
less n mld-senson affair. Satin is n
change from the cloth dresses OF the
winter and the fllmy ones of summer,
and a change we simply must have. II
Is all very we'll 10 talk OF economy and
wearing the same dress for long pc
riod Of time. but there is a point where
economy ceases TO be virtue, and
that Is the point where we do not have
feeling OF newness or pleasure In
our clothes and where they react upon
us and make us feel dowdy and unin
terestlng. To change from the serges
and velours Of winter into a frock OF
satin or crepe de chine Is very re-
freshing.
An afternoon dress from Jenny de-
veloped In taupe satin OF rather
heavy quality II In the one-side effect
which was so much a feature of the
autumn models. Tho sleeves are I'M
usual and full length. and the neck Ia
finished with high standing collar.
This Is n good model for spring. and
might be developed IN any OF the
shades OF brown or In black.
Lace Favored In Varied Effects.
One Of the very newest satin mod.
els Is In dull bronze shade with an
overdress In redlngote style made Of
bronze crepe georgette embroidered la
a leaf and floral design In bronze silk
threads. The redlngote Is open from
neck TO hem, revealing tight foundn-
ton OF the satin. and Is caught at a
low walstllne with metallic ribbon
which ties In small bow at the left
side. A wide band of brown fur trims
the flowing sleeves, which are three
quarters length.
The popularity of lace Is likely to
continue throughout the summer. at
least, and with the vogue for lace we
may expect the continuation Of draper
les and panels. Three.quarter length
sleeves OF Interesting cut are featured
IN many OF the lace frocks. and follow
Ing this closely are the three-quarteF
length flowing chiffon sleeves which
may appear IN dress made entirely
OF velvet or satin and be of u strlk.
ingly contrasting color such as one OF
the new reds In dress of black sntln.
A glrdle sash may match the sleeves
in fabric and color.
The vogue for the lace dinner gown
Is very pronounced. Whereas IN the
past II was made over satin. velvet or
metal cloth furnishes the present-day
