One Of the lovellest OF the nev
French models is Of crepe ron opvo
In beige gray shade and trlmp',d
with embroidery in multi.colors int
tating fruits and flowers. The dress
Is finished with beautiful glrdle
made In a design exactly matching
the pattern OF the embroidery. When

This Is worth remembering. for II one
is to have simple cotton frocks made

Frocks Harmonic Surroundings.
Many women are ordering their cot
ton dresses with much the same idea

French tourists travelling to Algers
and Tunis are ordering cotton frocks
by the half-dozen. often the six being
copies of one model but In different
colors. These are known as garden
frocks, as they may be In yellow. to
match a plaster pagoda, or OF pink,
like the azaleas Of the garden, or In
the blue Of the Mediterranean.
If you wish to be In the height Of the
mode buy or make some cotton eve
ming dresses for this summer. They
are very smart and there Is no doubt
that their popularity will increase with
the approach OF the warp summer eve
nings.
II is not entirely due to the fact that
they are suitable to summer evenings
that they owe their prominence, for
we cannot point TO many Instances
where the thermometer has had the
influence Of fashions that one might
expect, especially in recent years,
when we swelter In furs In July and
August and SILVER In chiffon stockings
In January. II Is because they are
different and carry with them fresh
appeal that women will receive them
enthusiastically They are reminiscent
OF colonial days. when the cotton frOck
was very picturesque with Its rufiles
and ribbons. fits full skirt and It's tight
bodice. Then there Is strong ele-
ment OF inf0rmalIty about a cotton
frock which n silk one lacks. Al
though the former may be much gray
or I'm colorlng and more elaborate 70
design, still we consider 1t less formal
than simple silk dress.
Simple Stitches Worked In Threads.
One need not have evening dresses
OF cotton crepe deliberately embrold-
cred and adorned with puffy flowers
such as many French dressmakers are
showing. They may be very simple.
One must do something In the way
OF ornamentatlon, otherwise straight
line dress of cotton crepe will be TOO
closely related to an aprVn OF the
house dress, but there are simple
stitches which may be done In beautl,
fully-colored cotton threads that VIII
go long way toward lifting such
dress out OF the commonplace AS the
new embrolderles are In bold patterns
