been resorted TO, for we see any num-
Der of large motifs designed from
such models
There are rich Chinese motifs. The
plumage of tropical birds Las played
its part In inspiring color. And In
terspersed with these are lovely
floral patterns printed on clear back
grounds. So one may safely say that
there Is no other one fabric catering
to so many tastes and offering such
vast variety.
A chemise dress Of cretonne has
large pattern in red. green and
black on n French blue background.
The bottoms of the sleeves and the
neck are bound with rel linen ana
the frock is drawn In at the waist
line with string belt of red linen.
On model Of cotton crepe, In
cool shade Of green, the SKIRT mas
apron panels and the dress Is trimmed
with bands of cret0nne which has
background exactly matching the
crepe in color and bold pattern In
black.
The very young people, like their
mothers, are dressed In cretonne'
Children are extremely fond OF anus
Ing clothes to dress up In. They do not
look upon clothes Of this sort as real
clothes. but as something TO wear
when playing games.
Not a new idea, you may say, Tor
garden aprons for children have been
shown In the shops for some time
and dresses Of this material for
grown-ups made their appearance at
Palm Beach last winter, but the IDEA
of making n vast showing of cretonne
clothes and devoting a whole depart
ment to them, as this French special
ty shop has done. is n new one, and
has attracted great deal OF atten'
ton TO this fabric for midsummer
country clothes.
Effects In Mauve and Gray.
II you are not one OF those athirst
for color you may find great pleasure
and satisfaction In the chintz frocks
OF soft mauve and gray tones. They
have little puff sleeves OF white Or
candle that may be little more than
caps that extend TO the elbow. Often
these sheer white sleeves are finished
with band of old-fashloned EN-
broldery or they may be gathered In
to Just a plain band of the organdle
ornamented with a running stitch OF
worsted that blends In color with the
background OF the chlntz.
Cretonne hats. although not new,
are excellent for country wear at this
season of the year. There Is not
great deal from which to choose In
inexpensive straw hats for this pur-
pose. but II we resort to cretonne we
may have an almost lim.tless variety
for very little expenditure, especially
so II one is at all adept In trimming
a hat ones self.

THE well-bred man remembers
i when walking with woman and
the sidewalk Is narrow that If other
pedestrians approach them, he should
step behind his companion while they
are passing.
But If escortng a woman In woods
or through an overhung country he
goes ahead of his companion in order
to clear the path for her.
When walking with woman a man
invariably asks whether he may re-
lieve her of any parcels she may be
carrying, but If she declines his offer
he should not be insistent. A man
may have to possess good deal Of
discrimination these days to differ
