THE striped frock in navy and white
rayon jersey is a splendid holiday
choice. with its white accessories o1
hat and bag with touches OF navy
blue. Rayon jersey with narrow
latticed stripes, like lines of picoting
is very good in tailored frocks and
makes nice basic dresses to wear with
different colored chiffon scarfs.

One girl wore a gay Indian print of
cotton ingeniously cut to emphasize

around square neck. Vendors did

coolie hats to shade the eyes of girls
who came in brimless trbans. A
buttoned-on brown pique jacket was
worn over brilliant print OF violet
and cherry-red, and was topped by
a large leghorn hat tied on securely
by coarse fishnet veil tied under the
