Printed chiffon is one of the love-
liest things for Summer, and this
year the design is apt to be rather
large and quite scattered. We f1nd 1t
in white with floral pattern in orchid
with wide and long purple SASH A
cape of three tiers almost completely
covers the front of the waist up to a
high neck, but it is cut to deep v
at the waist in the back, with the
three tiers of the cape following on
down to the large bow of the sash.
The skirt ripples gracefully from the
knees and has small train, Sea
green with flowers in beige and brown
and a brown sash is a second combi-
nation of colors for the same model,
and it also appears in yellow with
green.
Printed icy satin has a cool
sound and a cool look, even if it Is
seal brown, because it Is covered
with a small confetti print in
white and has white mousseline
jacket, fitted and just waist length.
The sleeves of the jacket are in
teresting, as they have a lantern
shape. But, at second glance,
you notice that they have no under
portion, thus enhancing their
claim to Summer comfort There
is a wide spread white mousseline
bow posed at the front of the dress
and it is very low cut at the back.
CANARY yellow checked mousseline
is the material of the frock on
the figure with her back turned to
the audience. GarlandS of alternating
yellow and brown flowers cross the
shoulders and support the double
ruffle at the top of the bodice. The
under ruff1e is brown mousseline TO
give little contrast to the frock.
The rounded neck outlines a very
moderate decolletage both front and
back, and the ruff1es across the sleeves
are very becoming TO a slender figure.
This graceful Summery dress also
comes with the colors reversed, that
is, brown dress with yellow under
ruff1e. Both are attractive.
For those devotees of Seersucker in
their night life, it is handled very
nicely in a plaid of apricot. brown
and blue on white, made on we'll
moulded lines with wide ruching OF
white waffle pique over the shoulders
and down the back to the waist. The
neck is round in front and the lower
part OF the waist points upward,
matching the points at the top Of the
knee-length skirt f1ounce This IS, OF
course, among those informal Sum-
mer dance frocks, and is priced at ST.
Printed chiffon for afternoon en-
sembles is as popular as it is for eve
ming, and green, the coolest Summer
color, achieves nice effect in COM
blnation with brown flowers. using a
collar OF brown mouSseline with wide
revers. The fingertip-length loose
jacket has rather full puff sleeves
and at the front of the dress Is lit
tie cluster of brown and white daisies
these posies being well considered IN
| the fashion world just now. Ine SKIRT
is nicely gored to give plenty OF
width.
smart sheer for the street is
brown with narrow diagonal stripes
of white in groups of four. The
sWagger coat is covered by double
collar. the upper part of which is
brown and the lower one white. It
is pleated into the surplice closing
OF the frock and carries a small
bouquet of white organdy buds.
NERY large, bold plaids are being
used in both linen and silk fol
sports coats over white dresses, max
ing snappy ensembles. Several shades
of yellow and green is a favorite
combination used on white or egg
shell. A particularly good-looking one
in silk with well-cut coat accompanies
dress of eggshell crepe, trimmed
