be nothing more than a bunch OF

Dive bombers. parachute troops

dine subs Of ESQ tons to do the job
of starving England and ending the

CWEET and summary as a bas-
- ket of flowers, this frock (8729)
is perfect for warm afternoons.
In printed silk, or iower-patterned
cottons like wolfe or batiste, it will
look so cool and fresh and fem
mine, with its open-topped sleeves,
heart-shaped neckline, and frills
that put all the emphasis up at
the top, an effect always becom-
ing to slim figures. The skirt has
the lifting grace of circular full
ness.
And notice how little detailing
is required-iust a few gathers at
the waistline; otherwise it's all
straight, easy seams. Even begin
