! choosing than the amount spent that
brings satisfactory result
Now don't you love the thought
and sound of mint green? Isn't it
cool and refreshing? So is little
two-piece sheer frock in this de-
lightful color overlaid with tiny
white figures. The full pleated
sleeves are set under small epaulets
and finished at the wrist with circu-
lar frills. A white organdy bow
breaks the plainness of the front
The dress has short cape sections
over the arms that are edged with
narrow pleating. Pleats give the
skirt graceful movement.
DLAID gingham and crepe seems
to be an odd combination, but it is
quite smart. The dress of yellow crepe
extends above the belt in pointed ef-
feet, and the top part of the waist with
its turnback revers and sleeve ruft1es Is
of the plaid in pale orange on white,
with red and black used sparingly
Over this Is worn an abbreviated sleeve
less jacket. The same shop Is showing
for formal evening wear a gown OF egg
shell satin with swagger coat trimmed
effectively with cocoa Drown ostrich
around the neck and as cuffs on the
full elbow-length puff sleeves. There Is
also a charming brown lace dress with
chartreuse green satin sash tied at the
back which would be especially nice TO
take away on trip.
And, speaking of trips, there Is the
loveliest coat of heavy diagonal weave
white wool with enormous Drown
wooden buttons that are literally tled
on with pieces of cord, with the ENDS
left frayed and dangling. ThS pre-
ser1ts a very new and interesting Tea
ture. Brown and white linen Is sug-
gested by one shop as being partlcu--
larly good for travelling: A brown sun
with either short or long coat with
light or dark blouse may be chosen.
Hat ard gloves may also be OF brown
linen and are being shown to match
these suits. Some touches OF white
at the neck, probably white pique
collar or scarf, will tighten up the cos
tune. When you have arrived, you
will surely want to appear in white
sports outfit with short orange jacket
with three flowers of orange across the
front of the round neck. 1t has lots OF
dash. Another nice sports dress Is a
well cut striped pink silk, the stripe
being in the weave. Two long trl-
angles pointing toward the belt meet
the square neck and are fastened by
pink and silver buttons. The sleeves
are modified tailored puffs.
Bright striped linen is very effective
for country wear. Narrow stripes OF
dark blue French blue, red and green
together form wide stripes on natural
colored linen in a shirt waist type OF
dress trimmed with dark blue buttons
and belt buckle A simple little morn
ing frock in red and white plaid thin
gingham uses white ruffing to give II
pep, Quilting a raglan line from shoul-
der to underarm seam. Ihen 1oI
dinner wear there is an organdy striped
in dark blue and jade green, with lots
of white between, that has a dark blue
sash. And for dances at the club mouse
there is an adorable pale pink mousse
line de sole with very high waist. big
puff sleeves and a full flounce as
sketched. The neck has a modest cut
in the front and the back is slashed
low. so that it may be worn buttoned
at the top or left free to fall open
making a deep v with revers-a very
clever idea. It is very youthful and
Just meant for good time.
The all-white evening ensemble
is so lovely for Summer nights.
There is an exceedingly attrac-
tive one which combines white
crepe with white crushed velvet, the
latter making large flower at the
front and sleeves consisting OF three
full ruf1les on the swagger coat. One
shop is showing group OF good
looking striped silk shirt waist
dresses at a very moderate price.
They. have yokes. using the stripes
on the horizontal and pleats front
and back from yoke to waist.
