Washable Clothes
Become Important

MAYBE it is need for economy-and
maybe it is just innate love OF
change and variety-that has brought
washable clothes into such importance
this season. Most of the better sort Of
cotton dresses are made with the
thought of washing and ironing in
mind Probably this will not diminish
the cleaners bills, because there is need
for frequent dry cleaning of light-toned
chiffons and sheer crepeS. But 1t will
mean work for the laundry.
If woman is convinced that white
or light pastel-toned suit CT dress will
stand washing and ironing, she is much
more willing to wear it in town, where
smoke and SCOT and dust are more
prevalent, than in the country. AS an
actual fact, one sees more light-toned
and white dresses in the city than ever
before
Anyway, there is no excuse now for
anything but perfect cleanliness and
spotleSSness There is A new handbag
made with a cover that may be taken
of, washed and ironed and then re-
placed
A new cotton crochet set consisting of
narrow -brimmed hat, gloves and small
handbag makes a strong appeal to the
woman who likes to remain spotless.
Gloves and bag are easily washed and
roned at home and the hat needs only
to be washed, starched and dried on a
block.
And that all goes to show that the
gentle art of starching clothes is no
longer old-fashioned, but very, very up
to date.

Wells Will Return

Wells are hardly likely to be much In
favor with American women for the
next six weeks or so. Not so much
because they actually add any weight
or warmth to the hat but because they
are hardly In line with sports and re-
sorts fashions that dominate the warm
weather wardrobe. There is, however,
every reason to believe that veils-nose
wells of fine mesh-will be even more
in favor in the Autumn than they
were last Spring.
Agnes of Paris has added new interest
to the veil situation by placing nose
tip wells Of fine mesh in a light ruby
shade, over some of her newest toques,
putting us in mind Of the red net wells
that women sometimes wore back in
late Victorian days. This Is signifi-
cant departure from the brown, taupe
| and black wells that have been seen
since the recent revival Of wells, and
suggests the possibility of extending the
color range to include green, blue and
other colors.

White Gowns.

A LTHOUGH we are constantly told
"A that the mode for white evening
gowns Is on the wane, they are to be
seen in New York. This is probably
the influence of Summer, for nothing
Is more fiattering to sun-tanned skin
than white. One gown of chalk white,
with the beltless silhouette, was worn
with ivory stockings in the new queens
lace design, through which tanned legs
created stunning effect. There is a
new makeup cream for the legs, if you
like the effect of sunburn through the
new stockings and have not achieved it
with the aid of the sun. Fashions in
makeup and cosmetics keep pace with
every new style in dress, and it is i'm
portant for the follower of fashion to
study them just as she studies fashions
In dress.

Colonial Designs

THERE are some lovely old Colonial
l. designs in the new wall papers that
lave been revived in honor of Wash
1ngton. It's good time to repaper
a room furnished with Colonial furni-
ture. It's good time, too. to buy
roll of one of these fancy wall papers
to use in covering screens and trays and
lamp shades and waste baskets. They're
perfectly lovely.
Wallpaper covered screens give a
good spot of color to the room where
they are used. I saw one the other
day, suitable to a little girls room or
a nursery, covered with a paper show
ing scenes from Alice in Wonderland"
You can get them with hunting scenes,
pastoral scenes and floral designs
something to suit any room. I wonder
,Shy some maker of these screens
2pesn't sell with each screen a little
3pll of matching wall paper to use for
lowering boxes and baskets to go with
think that would be good stunt.

Hair Styles.

THE newest type of bob is brushed

verv little wave on top of the head and
short curls high on the head at the

give a careless effect.

White Accents
Neck and Wrists

DAINTY bits Of lingerie at the neck
and wrists Of your sheer crepe or
chiffon dress-smart white accents Of
, pique or organdie on the Summer dress
of silk or cotton. OF course the care
fully dressed woman likes them because
they make the dress so much more
becoming and because they make it
possible to keep it fresh all the time.
That Is the practical advantage Of these
bits of chiffon, lingerie, pique or or
candle
Yet sometimes when It seems a SIM
pie matter to take them out and wash
them at home or send them to the
cleaner, when you come right down to
the important business of taking them
out-and later of putting them in again
you find that the dresSmaker who
has designed the dress has been heart
lessly inconsiderate. She has made
those dainty lingerie touches so they
look as if they were removable. but has
contrived to sew them and stitch them
into the dress so that it's an hours
work to get them out Hooks and eyes
or snappers are sewed through the dress
sleeves as well as the accessory cuffs
and the machine stitching that loosens
the accessory collar may incidentally
dislodge the shoulder drapery of the
dress, and that charming little lingerie
vestee that might just as well have
been removable is intricately attached
to the lining of the dress.
We have all met with such dis
couragement in dresses We have bought
ready made. but this year the dress
makers have done us real kindness
in making dresses with lingerie touches
that are very easily taken out and just
as easily put in again. Some of the
cuffs and collar sets don't need to be
tackled in at all. Flaring cuffs are
finished with buttons and buttonholes
that hold them very snugly at the wrist
so that they do not need to be sewed
to the dress sleeves and there are yoke
collars that are fastened with buttons
and buttonholes that are simply laid
over the neckline of the dress and need
no special attachment.

Wearing Gray

livery one is. willing to grant the
smartness of the gray costume, but
few women have quite the courage to
wear 1t. An interesting situation In
view of the fact that gray is of all
shades or tones the most demure and
retiring. Yet gray has been worn very
little within the past seven or eight
wears, and in these days of bright colors,
Of white, black and revived interest
in beige, gray is seldom seen. 1t may
be that women feel that gray makes
special demands and that only the ex-
ceptionally beautiful woman can wear it
to advantage.
The fact remains that well made,
smartly worn gray costume carries with
It a distinction all its own and is likely
to cause more attention than costume
of brilliant hue.

Y T is important for women to realize

or the quality Of being together, and the
collective impression of this gathering
together. If the word "togetherness'
existed, that, I should say, would be
the English word equivalent to "ensem-

be introduced into the language, for 1t
expresses what We feel and think when
we say ensemble"

There was a day-indeed, not so long
ago-when women bought a dress with
cut thought of the hat, and the hat
without thought Of the dress. The
COdG was purchased WITHOUT any COIl-

to the other items, and so on. The coat
was becoming and she wanted 1t and
that was sufficient, provided. of course,
she could pay the price. The modistes
were left to themselves, a separate
group; dresSmakers were another highly
individualized and specialized lot, while

THEY were independent of each other
in the way that nations Of the
Western Hemisphere were before the

mind conceived the idea of making the
shoes, bags, hat, gloves and other

moniously akin to the dress itself. The
idea of the ensemble came into being,
and it has swept forward at such rate
