The antics of their numerous
friends to avoid such an event
caused much laughter, Joe, the bell
hop and Toots, the elevator opera
tor add to the romantic interest
with their lovers quarrel.
The stage was set as the lobby

sort, which gave opportunity to por-
tray the colorful individuals one
finds at a resort.

ment.
The slip worn under it may be
of taffeta or rayon to match.
The slip does not have to be as
full as the skirt, but it must be
of closely woven heavy material.
Select Simple Trimming
For Formal Dress
There is a variety Of trimmings
to use for dressy dresses and there
are several types practical for home
sewing.
Applique is one of them, and if
you can stitch neatly, there is moth
ing nicer for a bouffant frock of
organdie. Use flowers that will go
well with the color of your frock
and use them on the wide, full
skirt.
If you like shirring, this may be
done on the gathering foot or ruff
fler attachment. Finger your ma
terial, and be assured first whether
it will hang well, whether it will
be limp or bouffant before you ac-
tually start the work.
Bows, of course, may be used on
youthful frocks and are very eff
fective. Finished ribbon, carefully
tied and tackled, can lend dra-
matte air to a bouffant frock.
If you have chosen one of the
ankle length frocks. a full taffeta
slip with ruffled edging peeking
underneath it is all the fashion in
terest you actually need. Ribbons
are being used, run through eyelet
on slip trimmings to give them an
| old fashioned air.
Your wrap may be a short coat
in one of the lovely pastels. When
you select it, make certain it will
be of good daytime use.

If full skirts and ruffles look tough

as you'll undoubtedly see when you
run a basting stitch through the
material and try to gather it.
Ruffles are easy, too, and if you

type, you'll find that ruffles are
just the thing this season, but don't
attempt the really elaborate treat
ment of them-not so much be-
cause the ruffles are hard to make
but because it's sometimes diff
cult to insert them when they're
placed in small triangles along the
back of the skirt.
However, ruffle trimming along
the hem, or around the sleeves or
neckline can be managed easily.
They should be hemmed before you
ruffle, of course.
Swishy t a f e t and faille are
among the materials you also will
be using. Neither of them is diff
cult to handle if you are careful
about basting, and this is extremely
essential as they tend to slip.
If your budget can't afford for

make one of those large full skirts,
and then to buy an intricate Gibson

Practical Net Skirt
Worn Three Ways

Practical Net Skirt
Worn Three Ways
A full skirt of black or white
net can be very practical. The skirt
itself should be four to five yards
wide, with four or five rows Of
gathers at the waist. 1t should be
finished with a firm belt.
The first frothy topping for this
skirt may be of net which is shirred
closely to the bodice. Finish with
straps of wide ribbon or rhine
stone band.
The second topping may be made
of taffeta. This should be chosen in
your best color. The same material
may be made into bows and tackled
with tiny stitches to the skirt.
The third top may be made of net,
crossing the front and back to give
you v neckline. A large flower
worn at the shoulder is all that is
needed to complete the costume.
The main thing to remember in
sewing net is that it will ravel and
should, therefore, be finished at the
seams with double stitching and at

you think all of them are trimmed
