They can be used for family service

them out-of-doors for nj fresco
meals won't subject them to any
risk either. Any stains can be re-
moved at once and with ease.
Perhaps the most necessary place
for these waterproof fabrics was
discovered by the individual who
first started the fad for window

SORES were envious of the
lovely tones of green that were
budding forth in the new frocks
and gowns as bags, shoes and
gloves have all turned the same
refreshing shade. For daytime
wear they have become i'm
portant rivals of the navy blues
and black patent feathers that
develop similar items. The
smart conclusion comes with
the style consciousness that
green in its various nuances is
a dominant color now for both
daytime and evening costumes,
and that accessories are har-
moniously united with the sea-
sons ensemble.
The idea of harmony is further car
ried out by the developing of hats
and gowns Of like fabric. Versions Of
this fashionable get together" are
found in silk, wool, and cotton. In
the latter group pique. linen and
shantung are outstanding.
Of special interest then is the
model eketched at right Of Receda

bodice and full skirt. The hat Of the
same material is the newly arrived

stir in millinery circles. OF course,

that matches the dress, except for
the narrow band about the instep and
the single strap which are of a slight

With green in the highest it is nat

should be regarded with affection.
And to date yellow has had no reason
to consider that it was taking second
place. The organdy garden frock
