ION PlCkWAlLlIE, MAOE With n
FLARING COLLAR IN THREE COL
ORS (center)-Brown pickwaille in a
deeply ridged weave is the material
used in the dark-jacket and light
dress ensemble that glorifies the lady
who is shown more or less in the CEN
ter Of the page. This new and fas-
cinating material, which belongs to
the pique family, is harder in char
acter. It's surface is definitely
marked, and clever designers are
stimulated by the variety of effects
they are inspired to achieve once
they start cutting into this mate
rial. The model is SHINY and trim
ly made. The jacket is hip length
and cut with v deep enough to
give full emphasis to the neckline
of the dress, which is made important
by f1aring collar of three colors of
pickwaille stitched together in a
striped design. Brown buttons, large
and shining, fasten the one-piece
frock as far as the waistline The
skirt is only slightly fared and has
insets, cut the reverse of the material,
running in two rows up the back and
front of the skirt. The waist is
sleeveless, but cut with a dropped
shoulder line that covers the top arm.
BEIGE FROCK AND JACKET,
MADE WITH STAGGERING LINES
IN AN ITALIAN LINEN TWEED
dover left)-The tweeds that have
refreshed US throughout the Spring
are being succeeded by fascinat-
ing linen weaves that come from
Italy. They are said to be cool
enough to sustain even the most
rigid standards of Summertime chic
and to supply all the other quail
ties as well. The ensemble, pictured
on the seated figure, shows a beige
used with a companion stripe of the
same tone with bright yellow. 1t is
very effective. There is bold aSsur-
ance about the simplicity of the extra
loose, swagger coat and the stark
austerity of the trimming, which is
reduced to only one button-a very
good one, however, yellow, with lus-
trous lights. The upper section of the
frock is of the striped weave and fol-
lows the kimono influence. The rever
facings match and create an attrac-
tive play of line. Slenderness char
acterizes the skirt, godets supplying
the necessary fullness for freedom in
walking.
Our last cable from Paris warns us
to watch our accessories. No longer
Is it considered smart to assemble
them without restrictions. Well
dressed women now studiously select
limited number of appointments for
each costume and usually match them
with such care that they appear like
a detail of the costume to the eyes of
the observer.
TOWN AND COUNTRY FROCK
OF eEERSUCKER IN DARK, SERV-
ICEABLE COLORS (top left)-ThiS
smart two-piece frock is a member Of
the class that makes a virtue of SIM
plicity and individuality. 1t comes in
dark, rich shades of seersucker and
has been especially designed to be
life saver to the business woman dur
ing the warm weather months. The
model sketched is developed in gray,
yellow and white check pattern. The
crinkle of the fabric is deep and rich,
so that the unitarian colors look in
teresting rather than dull, and when
the belt of patent leather-yellow
with blacks put on and the button
fastened it looks ravishingly smart.
The pockets are cut bias and SO are
the rever facings. One of the points
of this frock that are well worth
rejoicing over is the fitted bodice top,
to which the pleated skirt is attached,
a detail which we shall endeavor to
make widespread if the vogue of the
two-piece dress continues.
oNE-PIECE FROCK FOR SPEC
TATOR SPORTS MADE OF RED,
YELLOW AND BLACK PIQUE ON
A GROUND OF WHITE Cright -
Pique, in a geometrical riot of Span
ish colors is the material used in the
nicely tailored spectator sports frock
of all-over design. Simplicity, in this
case. has more than mere plainness
to offer. The fabric is exotically
beautiful and is said to improve with
washing. The dress is cut entirely on
the bias. with flared seams, front and
back. The trimming features are in
themselves individual works OF art.
The jabot is made of metal-tipped
strands of red cords and black ones,
pulled through Slashes beneath the
revers and tying in soft knot. The
belt is a series of Stiffened red CORDS,
fastening over black button. There
are welt pockets in the skirt. The
sleeves are short and set in with
square outline. The dress, like many
of the new Summer dresses, has no
collar, just revers.

the sailor collar is attached, pleat-
ed skirt and a tuck-in blouse. The
value of such an ensemble lies in its
many uses. The skirt may be made
to work with other coats, sweaters
and jackets, and the tuck-in, being
sleeveless, will act as an extra shirt.
For informal beach wear, the blouse
