A pleasing use Is given wooden
checks in the smart town dress seen

about frock with many delightful
and practical qualities. II Is light
gray with q darker stripe and
a yellow kasha trim which sponsors
collar facing, blouse and cuff in
sets and a belt which defines a wide
buttoned band about the hips. The
pleated skirt adds a flare to the
straight silhouette.
The tailleur seer to the right
achieves smartness by its combina-
ton of checked dark gray flannel
and blue rep. The coat Is double
breasted and piped with self
material. A plain crepe blouse
with straight fagoted neckline &C
companies it.
The skirt substitutes the trim
check for the more usual pin
striped materials that are generally
featured in such ensembles. It il
a plain wrap-around with m kick

blue cloche complete it
