CHIC new FROCKS
Simplicity Of Line Marks New
Dresses for Season.
Gowns Are Simply and Quietly Length.
ened - Harmony Watchword-
Must Be Becoming to Figure.


Two notable elements apparent in
the seasons frocks Is the decided uni
formity In the matter Of the design and
the popular Bateau neckline. For this
simplicity the French are no doubt
responsible.
At present the lines are longer, to
be sure. but they are simply and quiet
ly heightened, with every attention
given to the proportion and the blend
Ing of one line with another, until
there results that harmony which is al
ways satisfying and which, authOrita-
lively handled, is becoming to what
ever figure happens to wear it.
In acct with this, Is the unusually
simple design of the frock of mauve-
,olOred crepe, trimmed effectively with
.erra Gotta, blue and brown beads.
The frock shown may be made from
The same pattern by an inventive
seamstress. 1t is one Of the most pop
ular models of the season, and 1t has
nothing but straight lines to entice the
wearer. This Is made of emerald
green silk duvetyn with the sleeves,
long side panels and the narrow neck
frill made Of accordion plated dove
gray crepe de chine.
Another frock which may easily be
cut from the same pattern, with the
possible exception Of the widened
skirt, Is made of velvet. This has the
drawn-in bodice. llade possible by a

IT. HE shops are showing many al
Turing little home furnishings
made of silks and ribbons, and
other frivolous things-that add little
touches of gaiety to the room they
adorn. These, with bags and girdles,
with the emphasis on girdles) and
endlessly varied lingerie garnishings,
are occupying much Of the time and
attention of women just now. They
are very well worth while; the salts
faction one has in them does not begin
to be measured by their cost, for that
Is small to the woman who can make
them for herself.
There Is so much to be said of girdles
that they must make separate story.
For lingerie bows and ornaments, mar
row, thin ribbons are used for max
ing all sorts of little flowers, set to-,
gether in wrenths, rosettes and bands
Narrow satin ribbons, not more than
a half inch wide, in pink, blue and law
ender, make rosettes that rival the
little flowers in prettiness. All of them
are attached to very small gilt safety
pins, so that they are easy to put or
and take off of particular bits Of lin
gerie.
Besides these most intimate belong
ings, the modern girl insists upon deck
ing out her own room with gay touches
of splendor. Her dressing table finds

gold lace and minute ribbon flowers or
small bisque figures. Lights CLEAN
through rosy silk shades and even per-
fume bottles, brushes, trays, pin
cushions are regally dressed in satin
and gold.
In the group Of small furnishings
shown here, stately lady with spread
ing skirt of rose-colored taffeta serves
to soften the light from an electric
lamp. The shops sell the framework
for these lovely shades which consists
of bisque bust mounted on wire
frame, ready for dressing. Two pin
cushions of satin make resting places
for bisque bathing girls.
One might as well undertake to
talk about the styles IN butter
files as to enumerate those in
negllgees. It appears that designers,
when considering these garments, un-
loose thoughts that fly far and In
many directions, In search OF inspira-
tions, and whatever they find pleasing
is brought home and used. In these
lovely and colorful gowns fancy takes
oil the latitude it will, paying tribute
to beauty with ideas gathered from
every quarter of the world.
Although there are negligees and

Long, loose garments with flowing
lines, in soft, supple fabrics and live
ly colors, they arrive at the same goal
by different but always graceful ways.
Some Of them hang in straight lines
from the shoulder and others are
bloused at low belt line. They are
In position to revel in the uneven

Gle Of apparel may.
In the negligee pictured long over
dress is set onto a straight band OF
lace, chemlse style, with lace bands
over the shoulders. The sleeves form
draperies that reach almost to the
bottom of the skirt and they are
weighted with bead tassels that fall
below the skirt. This negllgee is made
of georgette crepe and it is one Of
several models having plated skirts.
One can imagine It in one or a COM
bination of two Of the bright shades
