DARK and sheer" is a chic town

of fabrics. both in monotones and
prints. Nothing is smarter than

No mention of sheers is complete
without organdie. Its most popular
daytime use is in jackets and coats
in white or pastelS, worn over dark
town frocks, in suits, and in crisp
little collars. cuffs, bows and wide
belts. Big -brimmed organdie hats

organdie petal bags and f1aring- g-cuff
gloves are counted among the biggest
successes of the season.
