Washington F dshions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

A New York report tells us
that young girls there float
through the summer evening
in a mist of clinging chiffon,
in baby blue or pink. We find
the same true in Washington,
and We find many of these
lovely misty chiffon frocks in
the Washington stores.
Some With Jacket
The fabric we like the most
is triple chiffon. 1t drapes
gracefully about the figure and
falls in unusually soft lines.
We found it made into many
lovely frocks, some with bertha
or fichu effect about the
neck, some with little capes.
Others were made in formal
evening style with a. matching
jacket. A few were in combi-
nations of two colors, but most
of them we're fairly simple and
in monotone effect.
In Pale PasteIs
One of the best things about
these frocks is that you can
change their degree of form
ality by the way you wear them.
If you care to look girliSh
there is nothing more youth
full. but if you would be more
sophisticated you can add
smart accessories and intro
duce color contrast in your
shoes and jewelry, and change
the whole effect. Of course,
they come in the other pastels
and in white, but the pink and
blue seem unusually lovely,
though the yellow in this fabric
is a pale lemon color that is
ost attractive, too.
Shoulders Covered
The frock Sketched has q ruff
fle about the neck-line that
gives the smart covered should
er effect so fashionable now.
The skirt fits unusually well
and the belt faStens with a big
fluffy flower. This dress is
very inexpensive.

formation about this dress or
about your summer fashion prob.
