their chaSte expression or Of the feel
Ing which they represent.
You may go into any gathering
early morning, afternoon, dinner or
late evening-and always you will be
able to find the one-piece dress holding
its own, looking always most attractive
and forever feeling sure of itself. 1t is
q design that has SO much in its favor
that, no matter where 1t is seen, 1t Is
sure to be triumphant on the field of
action.
Moreover, this season there are so
many stunningly beautiful fabrics that
lend themselves most particularly to
the making of the one-piece frOck.
After all, ii is n thing Of fabric and
fabric only, for it brooks no f~anclness
of trimming, and when the material
counts for much In itself ii needs moth
ing more elaborate than the straight
and simple lines Of the one-piece frock
to make 1t a notable thing. Women
will be forever thrilled at beauty Of
fabric, and now, when it is their good
fortune 70 find pieces Of stuffS on every
counter that hold a thrill all their
own, these women just naturally gravi-
tate to fitting the fabrics to the One-
piece frocks and vice versa.
May Be Of Any Material.
Take the one-piece dress for the
morning hours. 1t can be Of anything
from gingham to silk and TO serge, or
TO any wooden material, depending
upon the sort Of duties that confront
you. All that is the duty of each indi-
vidual In planning this frock is to de-
eide what are her proper and harmO.
Nous proportions. She must have her
waistline posed at the proper angle for
juSt the lines Of her figure. She must
have the sleeves shaped just right for
her own arms. She must study the
length of the skirt and the tying Of the
sash. They seem simple enough duties
In connection with making good the ap-
pearance Of the unpretentious frOck.
but somehow they are not always ac-
complished with the art and efficiency
that one might wish. When they are
well done there Is nothing left to be
desired from the dress that is the re-
badly considered and executed there Is
all the difference In the world.
The serge dress this season Is
trimmed, when it is Of the One-piece
variety. with 0ws OF silk braid or with
brilliant silk bindings and facings or
with lines OF land-done embroidery,
e%mhodying many %cOlorings.
Then there is the One-piece dress Of
some dark ton of heavy crepe. Very
often that Is left without any trimming
except a binding of itself, and there is
apt 10 be a plated insert or a plated
panel or so to give it that extra fluff
ness and wavy line which makes the
silk 50 much more attractive than when
II is left In its original state. This
dress Is lovely in dark blue OF in one
If the lighter shades of brown or In
sosne tint Of gray. 1t does for cooler
days with n coat thrown over IL. and
for the very warm days there Is moth
ing like 1t. for II refuses to muss, and
always keeps that perfectly straight
line which Is SO much q part OF its
attraction.
Ginshams are lovely for these morn
ing dresses, and they should have
white linen collars and cuffs. Linens
themselves are beautiful I'm this guise.
Then there are the cotton ratlnes that
have. everything In their favor, and,
whether they are striped or plaided or
