, one with the overblouse OF printed
chiffon worn over the original gray
slip. OF course, the mingled colors
in the printed fabrics are chosen TO
accentuen the gray and to bring out
the silrfy tones. In this case they
are saS- pastel shades-almost all OF
those ir-between colors-and the soft
ribbons, crushed together TO make the
sash, are three in number. taken TO
match three Of the pastel tones In the
printing of the chiffon.
This makes a graceful and informal
little frock that can be worn at al
most any hour OF the day, and for
many and numerous occasions The
pointed ends Of the peplum are pro-
vided with tiny weights so that they
droop conspicuously. Everything must
droop, and If il can manage TO sweep
down in points, why, just so much the
better for it's style.
Now, there is one objection 10 the
gray toning of this utility garment.
and that is the perishable quality OF
its delicate tone. But, OF course, that
can be handled by means OF dlligent
cleaning. The supposed good quality
Of the material is destined 10 stand
any amount of wear and tear, and
sometimes it is a great relief TO have
a dress, not 10 mention a series OF
dresses, which is light In tone. Ii

Fresh-Lookino Costume.
But if you should prefer something
dark, then by all means construct it
on the same lines and principles. Vary
the designs as much as you choose;
be free in your individual interpreta-
ton There is no end TO the Joy you
may experience by finding yourself SO
easily made the proud poSsess0r OF a
fresh-looking costume. What matter
If the foundation is not totally new2
Who can tell the difference2 You are
the only one who is in on that secret,
and there is a certain satisfaction In
being able TO fool the public SO easily.
When the sharpest-eyed OF your
friends says What handsome new
gownl" and you know that she has
not recognized the old piece that
makes the skirt, you feel that you
have certainly accomplished an
achievement of sorts. And so you
have.
Women's clothes should not be an
undue expense nor anything approach
ing a burden. 1t Is right that their
usefulness should be extended ana the
length of their lives drawn out TO
something approaching utility. And
at the same time, who wants them to
lose any of their beauty and charm
and femininity? Surely not the wom-
an who wears them. They would
hang on TO these attributes at all
other sacrifices. They must be beau
tiful. But they can be beautiful and
practical, too. They can be sensible
to the tune of charm, If only their
owners will study the ways and means
by which to accomplish this end artis-
tically.
In the New Colors,
1t is an interesting feat to develop
these many-in-one dresses In some
of the newer colors with accompany
ing blouses and sashes chosen TO con-
trast happily. Three Of the noticeable
new colors are mauve, cyclamen and
orange. Orange appears strongly as
a lining of a coat or as a blouse. Cy-
clamen and mauve are usually seen in
trimmings and Innings. Dresses and
costumes, as a whole, are of neutral
shades. Here and there colored cos
