nations. So-we do think that cot
ton has lot of points in its favor,
and that is why all the cotton shops
in town are such beehives Of activity.
Between the gaiety of the dresses
themselves and the attractive back
grounds of trellises and garden fur
niture that many stores use in their
cotton shops, it is practically impos-
sible to pass them by, even If your
original shopping errand was for
something quite different. And If you
are one Of those fortunate people who
of $50 these mornings, when the
store opens. you will probably find
several adorable frocks that are just
exactly what you want, and you will
call it lucky day-with your shop
ping done in iifIy.
Take look at the plain and printed
shantungs. They are very good this
year. London tan with white collar
and braid trim, or the same model in
pOstman blue is nice. All white. with
tiny ricrac edging in brown or navy,
in tWo-piece street dresses is good.
Small, odd printed designs in pleas
Ing colorS on white. turquoise and
yellow make nice everyday choices.
For sports there's the good-looking
striped dress on the girl shown above
picking flowers in the rock garden
The stripes 60 various ways. to break
the monotony and keep things cheer
full. The colors ae brown and white
or navy and white In pique, and very
similar frock comes in broadcloth
striped in green and yellow on white
THE printed dress on the figure at
the right is typical Of the many
casual prints to be found.
Some Of these little cottons are very
inexpensive. but If you have a good
supply. so that there is always q
fresh one ready to jump into in the
! morning. you won't have to worry
about the price. There's darling
little cotton. imported from Austria
from the house that is responsible
for so many fascinating sports clothes
| This one is called loop the loop be-
cause it is trimmed with white loop
braid around the neck and sleeves
and has little fiaring peplum around
the waist. The print is tiny one OF
conventionalized hearts and flowers
In blue on white, with red straw belt
1t also comes in green and white with
a yellow belt.
Some Of the daintiest dancing
dresses are all white mousseline and
organza with wide gathered skirts
and old-fashioned square or nschu
necklines. They are made quite plain
with interest at the hemline as, fol
instance, one that has four rows OF
ruching around the bottom in white
yellow, fuchsia and green. The same
colors appear in tight round bouquet
Of flowers at the point of the V-neck
where 1t is met by the high waistline
OF course there are tiny pun sleeves
on this youthful frock
Pale dove gray is lovely in marqui-
sette with folded fischu making the
bodice and an old-fashioned bouquet
with lace edge to accent the front
crossing Of the f1schu. The very full
skirt is finished at the hem with four
wide tucks. The present popularity
Of pale purply pinks is responsible for
charming pastel floral spray pattern
on white mousSeline which has four
tiers Of gathered fullness in the skirt,
outlined with light. pansy- purple
grosgrain ribbon. This one has q
bolero jacket that makes 1t nice for
supper dancing.
