buttons Of odd design that fasten
the coat closely about the neck.
In happy contrast to this somber suit
Is an evening jacket of poppy red linen
in hip length, much fitted in at the
waist in the back, and worn over a
charming small flower print with reds
predominating through the gTays, yell
lows and touches of green. The frock
also has interest centering at the back,
where a pleated panel is set in rather
high and forms a tiny train. Sum-
rner loveliness is again exempiifled in
a yellow mousseline de sole with triple
bertha and triple fiounces at the bot
tom of the skirt. A sophisticated air
is gained by binding the edges Of the
bertha and fiounces in an odd COM
bination of colors-Ch Chinese red, medium
green and magenta. A bouquet of blue
cornfiowers with yellow and white
daisies is placed at the waistline.
It is noted that old rose is grad
ually gaining in favor as color
after an absence of some years. The
rose shades used recently have had
a mixture of yellow, orange or brown,
but with the establishment of gray
among the most used colorS there
is a difference in the quality of rose,
which is taking on soft ashes of
roses tint, and even tending toward
the reddish violet. This is seen in
various printed crepes and chiffons
that have distinctly new look. One
of these is a we'll covered pattern
in chiffon with flowers at the point
of the V-neck and the velvet sash,
both of red violet At the rides of
the skirt are set in sections of full
ness that are longer ther @-
line at the front, giving graceful
sweep and added height % tne
wearer. An afternoon coat frock in
printed crepe with general rosy
hue uses a soft blue velvet to COM
plement it and give it q pleasing
French dash. The sleeves Of the
jacket are pleated and attached with
q pleated heading.
A fairly long evening wrap Of white
corduroy with full sleeves is good,
and 30 is shorter white coat Of thin
taffeta. This latter Is displayed over a
white frock, with all white accessories.
For crisp whiteneSs there is an ador-
able organdy with Peter Pan collar and
puff sleeves Of tucked and embroidered
organdy. White sheers with lines of
pulled threads for afternoon wear are
lovely. They may have coats Of white
or, II you prefer, they may be dark
blue or red. The coats are also trimmed
with lines of drawn threads.
Novelty striped and plaid Seersucker
are being shown in swagger coats over
plain crepe dresses. A black and white
plaid coat over a white frock, and a
brown and yellow striped seersucker
over a yellow crepe frock are rather
different from the usual jacket suits,
and yet are in the inexpensive group.
Yellow and brown is a good Summer
combination. A group of these includes
yellow dress with brown linen coat,
and a yellow two-piece ensemble with
trimmings of polka dotted brown and
white silk A smart sports frock is of
yellow striped in brown, orange and
white. Horizontal stripes form the
pointed yoke of the waist, and vertical
stripes the rest of the dress and small
puff sleeves. Brown tie and belt COM
plete the frock.
Another two-piece yellow model has
collar and reverS of brown stitched
linen. An interesting sports frock Is
an overblouse model of ribbed silk in
dusky pink with large transparent
pink buttons and q scarf tied high but
pulled down to Q point in the front, and
made Of brown polka-dotted silk,
green and white striped coat
