comes to the question Of select
ing clothes of exactly the right
type. The season is replete
with frocks for every type and
size, and as to material and
color, there seems to be no
end to the choice.
The wise woman, however,
selects her frocks with an eye
to their becomingness first.
Secondly, she wants to be as
Sured of its practicality, at the
same time insisting on smart
ness. And she need never be
disappointed.
For instance, the one-piece
frock at left of the illustration
is of tweed-like jersey. 1t fea-
lures a becoming surplice line
closing at the left side with
three large wooden buttons.
Contrasting color is used in the
jersey vest, the color being re-
peated at the cuffs. Seven
pleats set in diagonally give
necessary fullness to the skirt,
as do the slight gathers at the
sides. The fabric belt has a
novelty wooden buckle and
metal eyelets. This is partiCu-
larly fetching in a black mix

is suitable for shopping or buSi-
ness wear. or any of the many
other activities of the woman
of today. And it is smart and
practical.

frock, designed especially for
the woman with the large fig
