shown and can be used to disguise a
frock, not SO new. Here's the chance
for the little white hat and piQue gloves,
too, If you like them. More laundry
to do! ..
If you would rather have your.
street suit with d2-.- ilcket, per-
haps you would like the one Of navy
blue sheer that has wide double COL
lar and cuffs of white organdy, and
short jacket with revers, that but
tons snugly around the waist. The
sleeves are made full at the top
by means of pleats Under this
jacket is the cleverest white organdy
blouse, with stripes Of blue grosgrain
ribbon used in pointed effect, and
diagonally across the full puff sleeves.
There Is row of tiny white but
tons down the frcnt. The material
of the skirt extends above the belt
in a point Blue and white again
in a sort Of diagonal rickrack pat
tern is very serviceable for business
and general runabout wear The
material has q border of red stripes
which Is so cut that it comes across
the top of the sleeves and the ends
Of the scarf of the jacket, and trims
tho upper portion of the dress be-
meath. 1t could be worn with either
red or blue accessories. The inter-
esting part Of another practical blue
and white pin-striped sheer is the
sleeves, which are straight pleated
sections with a heading set on to
the lowered shoulders.
A MONG the street dresses with knee
length coats Is an excellent model
of gray crepe which is quite plain, with
shirred-in sleeve fullness and accents
of dark blue in its cuffs and large bow
at the neck. A blue and white checked
suit has a pleated collar and jabot of
organdy and lace. A very attractive
design In a gray frock suitable for busi-
ness and general wear has =, az vide seh,ts v.
black and gray. A double jabot OF
stripes carries out the pointed effect
at the front. Pointed bands of stripes
are set in the side seams at the waist
line, giving a slenderizing tendency,
and the small puff sleeves are cleverly
cut and made so that the gay colored
stripes show here and there. This
frock also comes in powder blue, and
is equally good.
For the person fond Of q thin silk
suit that is dark and will stand much
wear there is a nice brown one printed
with interlacing circles Of creamy
white. It has a hip-length coat, with
raglan sleeves and Tuxedo front. and
the dress beneath has a V-neck and
long white jabot.
Yellow and brown is a smart COM
bination, and when it is a check be-
sides 1t doubles its smartness. The
dress is a plain yellow sports type and
over it goes the three-quarter swagger
coat Of medium-sized checked woolen.
It Is q bit out Of the ordinary and
SO good-looking. Brown and white in
narrow stripes makes a summery sheer
frock. The waist puts its stripes
across and has frills for sleeves. while
the skirt prefers to have its stripes on
the diagonal. Brown and green, either
together or separately, are doing their
full share Of duty this season, and the
combination IS delightful. A print of
these two colors In leaf design on
white ground has four white organdy
flowers across the front Of the batteau
neck, puff sleeves and a green gros-
grain belt. A soft green and beige print
makes jacket frock with collar and
lapels of tucked white material. In an
other model brown and white pin
striped sheer Is combined with plain
brown and uses a bright jade green
scarf. The dress and lapels of the
jacket are striped and the jacket itself
is plain brown.
A perfectly stunning outfit for
country club wear is a gray sport
dress with knee-length coat of bright
orange and scarf Of orange, black,
yellow and white. The dropped
shoulder yoke of the coat Is en-
