TN warm weather to be suitably
and srnartly dressed IS essential
One must either appear in white
Or riot of color. a frock especially
/, designed for the summer season is one
of brilliantly colored printed crepe. 1t
is simple chemise model ,ver which
is draped a graceful tunic, which is
detachable and may be left off if one
so desires. or the overskirt may be
made in a contrasting plain material
such as crepe de Chine or chiffon.
The wide sleeves may be either long
or short.
A cream dotted foulard frocll which
slips conveniently on over the head
makes a simple garment for young
persons. The front panel. hip line, and
short kimono cut sleeves are marked
by a line of entre-deux. Rose gros-
grain ribbon outlines the waist line
and finishes with a cocarde on the left
side.
In France the possession of sum-
mer clothes. depends entirely upon the
weather Many Americans who have
travelled during the so-called summer
months in those parts of Europe which
are at present accessible declare that
they have never felt the need of a
really thin gown. Last summer. which
wrought havoc with it's heat and
drought, was an exception which is
not likely to be repeated for some
time.
Molyneux has just had an opening
which was attended, as usual, by large
numbers of well known people. The
new collection offers an extensive play
of hats and parasols. with gowns re-
duced to the simplest common denomi-
nator. Often the frock Is perfectly
straight and either white or neutral in
tone. but the hat and parasol are brill
liant and add striking note which sat
isfies the seasonable desire for color.
New summer Models.
Among the new summer models in
MoIyneux's collection were noted sew
eral made of Rodier materials

color of unbleached muslin in the heavy
quality which looks almost like canvas.
It had great peasant sleeves. embroid-

Another frock was made of heavy
white linen, embroidered all over in
hold pattern OF black cotton. and had
belt of black cire ribbon. Jenny uses
the same material for her butcher boy"
sleeves. which she adds to a frock of
blue serge. A white cotton wolfe, with
hands Of machine tucks. was combined
with Valenciennes lace for a frock with
a long, straight bodice. short sleeves

green leaves An abundance Of per-
fectly plain, slightly draped gowns in
printed crepe de Chine seemed to in
dicate that this fabric is about to re-
place fouiard in the affections of many
OF the French couturiers.
Other new summer models are made
of the Rodier cotton crepes which have
many attributes to recommend them.
They take embroidery well. they wash
like the proverbial rag. they do not
crumple and they come in so many
different weights that they can be
used for all sorts of garments.
Orgsndie has been less favored as
n choice of the dressmakers. Lanvin.
however. makes some of her wide
s<irted Second Empire gowns in this
material. Although they are not
changed In form from those OF former
summers. their details are sufficiently
varied to give them interest. Lanvin
shows with them the wide capelines,
sometimes Of straw and sometimes OF
crepe. which might have been worn by
the Empress Eugenie herself
Extremely interesting Is Lanvin's use

designs in red. blue and cream. which
she combines with serge In many
original ways. One of her best models
has skirt of navy blue serge and an
attached blouse bodice Of tole de Jouy.

FouIard Not Neglected.
Although foulard has not been used
quite so freely this season by the
dressmakers. It has not been entirely
neglected Jenny, Cheruit. Chanel
Beer. and Madeleine ct Madeleine have
eli employed t. dress OF red, black.
and white foulard has a triple belt Of
plain silk I'm red, black. and white
braided together. The fact that this
belt curves up in the front and down
IN the back Is important In the mode.
