tain the uncorseted appearance.
The use of the bertha is not a
fashion newly revived this spring.
Dressmakers have been flirting
with this idea for some time, and
last fall it was exploited on many
of the medium priced models to be
had ready-made in the shops. The
neckwear departments in the shops
also did good business on berthas
of lace and other sheer materials.
But any attention that the
bertha received during the last au-
tumn and winter was small in com
parison to the way in which it is
being used now on dresses OF sheer
fabrics for summer wear. This
may be due to the fact that sheer
fabrics are especially suited to a
fashion of this kind and alse to the
fact that dressmakers and design
ers have not in some years SEEM
ed to lay hold of an idea which
offered such possibilities of max

long and transparent, being of
georgette.
Paris is not yet weary Of beads.
Many of the informal dresses for
the coming summer will be in cot
ton crepe, Georgette and crepe
Roumania, with deliberately beaded
and embroidered dsigns in color.
These dresses are of the slip-over
type and are done in cameo effect;
that is, tone of one color, such as
blue, yellow, mauve, rose or brown
or mixtures of gright colors. Some
times the cut of the dress is var
led by showing the swinging cape
back. Again there Is a long blous-
ing panel back, and often the
floating side panels.
In the various processes of elab-
Grating dress the manufacturer of
fabrics has taken no small part. He
has lent a strong helping hand to
the dressmaker, for the materials
now come from the looms beaded,
embroidered, with drawn threads,
painted, corded, tucked, quilted,
blistered, hammered, crumpled and
crinkled, until one wonders what
they might have been in their pris-
tine state.
Manufacturers are bringing out
beautiful cotton fabrics, particu-
larly cotton crepes, which are en-
broidered in tinsel, silk and beads
and treated in numerous ways.
One fabric is made of laying to-
gether two sheer tissues, one of
which is cotton crepe, and weav-
ing them together with tinsel en-
broidery, sometimes in a cobweb
design. This is a curiously beau
tiful and interesting fabric.
Another cotton crepe has a
beaded pattern laid off in squares
and stripes by means of embroid-
cry.
Among the plain cotton fabrics
there are those in imitation of silk.
There is a cotton material which
resembles crepe Marocain, and
there is an almost perfect imita-
ton of Georgette crepe made from
finely spun and crimped cotton
yarns of a delicacy equal to that
used in the silk Georgette.

waistline. The waistline is held in
quite snugly by means of a tiny
gold cord. Both the skirt and the
girls are shown in tulle, prominent
among them being those in the
bertha are embroidered in brown
and gold. Another model of blond
crepe is embroidered in self-tone.
With it is worn a hat of brown
tulle trimmed in blending shades
of blond and brown.
The all-white dress is still much
depended upon for the summer
wardrobe. Women do not hesitate
to have from six to a dozen all

ing radical change in the summer
frock.
For resort wear this summer ex-
quisite frocks are being made in
combinations of lace and crepe
georgette. A typical model is in
soft pigeon's-breast gray, the lace
and crepe exactly matching. 1t is
in quaint design, the bodice be-
ing sleeveless and fitting the fig
ure quite snugly and the skirt
very full. The dress itself is Of
the georgette with a deep bertha
of the lace. For this dress crepe
georgette, hat has been made trim

white dresses. Exquisite models
in white crepe show beautiful en-
broideries in crystal heads and
silver threads of fineness that is
almost incredible. AS afternoon
toilettes these are worn with small
white hats draped with ornamental
wells.
All dressmakers are bringing
out beautifully embroidered dress
es. Many times the intricate and
interesting patterns of embroidery
are done on backgrounds of white
or beige. These robes are so highly
ornamental in their embroidery
that they are built on the simplest
possible lines.

Beads and Embroidery

Among the more elaborate mod
els is a gown of white crepe satin
embroidered in crystal beads and
silver threads. This dress has a
decided Greek movement. 1t is
draped in girdle form but with
out an actual girdle. Directly in
the center front is beautiful or
nament after the style of the
Greek fibula. The sleeves are

ribbon in a matching tone.
Many dancing froeks for young
color known as blond or tortoise.
This is an exquisite shade neither
brown nor yellow but just like the
tones seen in a tortoise shell, from
which it takes its name. 1t is also
like certain shades of blond hair.
The All-White Dress
A remarkably attractive model
developed in blond tulle has a
straight, sleeveless bodice with a
deep bertha. To this a full skirt is
attached slightly below the normal

Growing Popularity of an 1880 Mode

The 1880 bertha is a most prom
Using fashion for spring. Lanyjn
has successfully placed many Of
her evening models made in this
style for the winter season on the
Riviera. The idea is being follow
ed in dressy afternoon gowns. 1t
is a style especially adapted to the
youthful, slender figure.
The dress illustrated at the CEN
ter of this page is one of Lanvin's
latest models. It is developed in
pink crepe with festoon bands of
silver lace set into the deep bertha,
AT the left side of the skirt there
is a charming trimming motis
formd Of bell-like tassels in pink
crepe that descends in a sort of
jabot.
The deep bertha collar often ap-
pears in contrasting color on the
,georgette frock that is much en-
'broidered. Many examples of this
character are found among dresses
for young girls.
The 1880 Style.
To the right of the model just
described is a lovely model in
hyacinth blue with a white bertha.
The embroidery on the dress itself
is done in white, and on the white
bertha it is. done in blue thread. a
shade that exactly matches the
blue of the dress.
This 1880 style will be the domi-
nsnt note in bridesmaids dresses
for spring and summer weddings,
for no type of dress could be more
charming for the brides attend
ants. They will be developed in
laces and crisp, cleaning taffetas

State Superintendent
Writes Dem. Herald
Of August Exam.

Editor Democratt-Herald,
Springfield. Colo.
Ny dear SIR
1t affords me pleasure to re-
spond to your invitation to make
useo your columns in reference
to the new certiication law and
its application in the August ex-
animation Of this year.
Thirty we'll known educators
were chosen from vario q coun-
ties Of the state to act as the
grading committee under the
rules and regulations formulat-
ed by the state superintendent.
These rules follow:
Those rules are too lengthy
to publish entire. SO we are Civ
ing simply the substance of the
plan, to.wit:
Grading committee to work in
groups of two or more.
Each of q group will grade ten
teachers papers. and after the
name Of the person writing the
papers give the percentage
grade of the papers. but no
marks Of any kind on the pa
pers the mselves.
Then the group exchange pa
pers and proceed exactly as in
the first place.
Tbe group will then go into
con ference and establish the
standar by which each member
WIN be guided in grading the
papers-that Is. will decide just
what will be a right answer to
the questions.
After this conference. if a
grader is in doubt about an
answer. be will submit the mat
ter to another conference at the
end Of the day.
In grading the papers, the
grade Of each answer Is marked
with blue pencil on first line of
the answer.
The rest of Mrs. Bradford's
letter is also too lengthy for pub
fishing entire, so will give TIE
substance as follows:
1,46l applicant papers came to
the office. and Is per cent fail.
ed. as against 20 per cent in
1922.
Under the new law. all certifi-
gates are good in every county
of the state, instead of the
county only IN which 1t was
issued.
BY this new plan. it will be
much easier for teachers to get
their certificates endorsed in an
4ther state-by reason of the
grading being under state su-
perrisioa.
The closing Of Mrs. Bradford's
letter runs as follows:
Az one Of the group repres ent-
ing the Colorado Education
association, the Colorado Parent
Teacher association. the Colorado
federation Of women,s Clubs.
and many other ed ucatiorai and
civic bodies who spon ST red this
bill, I am convinced that it will
80 far to equaIize the opportun-
titles Of the child and to secure a
square deal for every tea cher in
Colorado.

you have accorded me, and wish
