us for months past, in peasant
styles, becomes news all over
~ again, because of the tricks
that are being accomplished
in the way of drawstrings, ruffed col
lars and bowknot finishes.
The peasant idea is worked up to
high pitch of cultivation in this little
number. Neither too full, nor too
voluminous. it manages to look chic
without sacrificing the picturesque
native details. which give the design
its air of simplicity and ease.
Soft, silk frocks, particularly the
new peasant prints, inspired by the
national costumes Of Europe, look
their best in these designs. where
subtle shirrings, gay cords and half
way collars do all the usual things
with just enough difference to make
them subtle and casual. These dresses
in the Spring will share honors with
the shirtwaist type.
Our pattern for this frock is sure
to amaze you by its simplicity. 1t is
economical, too. A few yards of gay
material-a day or SO of work-and
presto! You have a well-groomed
silhouette of a century-old design.
Note, particularly, the set-in sleeve
-neater, trimmer and more sophisti-
Gated than the loose peasant ones that
go, raglan fashion, into plain, unre-
lieved necklines that few can wear be-
comingly. The ruff1e collar is cut sep
arately from the bodice-the better
to distribute the gathers over the
shoulder and back. Skirts continue
