the newest note in smart afternoon
dresses is struck by black trimmed
rather sparingly with color, notably
turquoise blue and dull pink.

BLACK plays an important role In
~ beach fashions. White shirts are
worn with black linen shorts or long
wide pajama trousers In solid black.
This should not be taken to indicate
that there is anything dark or somber
in the seasons color scheme but that
to a certain extent black takes the place
of beige, and the various lighter neutral
tones, gregg, sand, putty, etc.
So far as lighter. brighter colors 60,
there is less striving after unusual tones
and disturbing combinations. In the
figured silks for afternoon and evening
there are the traditional combinations
of pastel tones that are almost always
becoming.
Green is the smartest when combined
with black or white-a white evening
dress worn with jade, dinner gown
of white chiffon with large figures In
showing small white figures on a linden
green background, or black background
with small green figures.

Summer Finery for Beds

ored cotton matching the figure of the
cretonne in color. It Is made to 60 nat
up to the head of the bed, under the
pillows, and q separate pillow cover,
consisting of a band of the material
wider than the pillows and long enough
to hang over the sides Of the bed, Is
made.
Another spread most dainty and at
tractive for the Summer bed room IS
made of theatrical gauze. This is verE
cheap-25 cents a yard, perhaps. It
comes In all the lovely light pastel colors
blues and pinks, yellows, green's and
lavenders, so 1t may be chosen to Mt
into any color scheme.
The spread Is made with a wide
ruined valance, put on with an inch
wide heading and goes straight up over
the pillows. It must, Of course, have
a white spread under 1t, as it is very
sheer and transparent. Window cur
tains of the same fabric should be
chosen for the room where 1T is used.
Candlewick frames were an effort of
our foremothers to meet the problem Of
practical and at the same time beauti-
full bedspreads. Made Of white cotton,
tied with white wick, they are certainly
practical. It Is too much work for most
Of us to make these spreads, nowadays.
But we can buy them In sizes and styles
to fit any bed and bed room, and they
are certainly a good choice for the room
furnished in Colonial style. They are.
Of course. suitable also for Winter wear
but then so are the spreads Of Gre
tonne and theatrical gauze.
Unbleached muslin makes good Sum-
mer bedspreadS for the simply fur
nished cottage. They may be bound
with bands of color along the edges
and unbleached muslin curtains, hung
BY easily slipping rings on brass rods,
may be used at the windows instead OF

made with discreet touches Of white
pique or pleated net. They are wash
able, a. are most Of the present-day
eottons, and correct for innumerable
occasions.
TT isn't only for dresses that cotton
Is used this year; 1t extends into
almost every department of the femi-
nine wardrobe. For instance, there are
berets and stitched cotton sport hats,
handbags Of printed cotton, also shoes,
very often matching the bag. Linen is
used very snnartly for these accesso-
ries. too. and is 3 sturdy. durable
fabric.
Then, Of course. you've seen the cot
ton bathing suits with accompanying
robes or beach pa jamas, psrasols and
more charming or appropriate can be
imagined. AS a matter of fact, this
fabric Is particularly well suited to our
active Summer life.
Just the right note in trimming has
been chosen for this Summers cottons,
Pique pipings or landings, pleated net
rufies in contrasting or matching col
ors, tiny pleated edgings of taffeta, bands
and bows of velvet or grosgrain ribbon
all are thoroughly consistent and
decorative.
Especially in the organizes, the new
colors are delightful. Tones such as
opaline pink. that clear yet misty shade
melon green, a yellowy shade with .
hint of sea water; peachskin, which has
an apricot hue; Sorrento blue, lovely
deep-water tone, and Riviera beige, in
which one can see a slight pinky-niauve
cast. Perhaps We have had such lovely
colors before, but they seem especially
attractive this year.

1@HERE never has been . season
wheA cotton was so prominently
In the mode as this year. For
Il the last two or three Summers,
TO be sure, cotton has been in
ereaSinAIy used. but TO q large extent
IA its most practical forms. such as
bingham, pique and other sturdy fab
RIGS. But this Summer some of the
quaint, old-time fabrics Of sheer weave
are being revived with tremendously
smart effect.
Do you remember wearing In your
chil6hood-or If you are very young, re-
member hearing your mother talk Of
line, point d'esprit, cotton net and grass
linen?
The current version Of many of these
fabrics is much the same, except for
the new colors, of course. But to some
of them. notably cotton net, new and
daring things have been done. such as
printing flower and geonnetric designs
on net, in subtly blended color combi-
nations. Organdie also boasts some new
designs In large or small flower prints
that are altogether charming; cotton
nets are embroidered In all-oyer design
with great success
A frock Of this fabric Is made with q
quaint sophisticstion that is well adapt

trimmed with pleated ruf1es Of a plain
color net. The beauty Of such frock
is that In light colors 1t Is the perfect
thing in a country setting, and IN dark
colors it Is equally perfect for daytime
town wear.
THE organdy frocks that are being
made for midsummer are attrac-
tive beyond description. In the design
ing of them has been combined, with
the most consistent result, those two
seemingly inconsistent qualities - SIM
plicity and sophistication. It takes q
good designer to make this combination
successful, but If you make your own
clothes there are attractive paper pat

The new perforated felt hats provide

That is one object of the perforations,
the other being, of course, that they
provide clever way Of carrying out q

Then there are punch-work shoes

decidedly smart for vacation, and resort

accessories be judged by precisely
the same footrule of taste. Clothes
that you or would have thought high
~ desirable last Summer would strike
US as inadequate if not positively absurd
this season, all because of changed
standards of smartness that have come
about in II months.
Take color, for instance. There has
been no launching of new and striking
colors, there is no one combination of
colors that is recognized as supremely
smart, but there have, none-the-less,
been very real changes.
One cannot overlook the increased
Importance of navy blue and black. For
street wear these tones have been
crowding closely on the beige tones
that had things q little too much their
own way for several years.
