“Pretty” Describes Many New Frocks.
.J'
Old-time elegance, daintiness, quaint-
ness—these are tin* things that make
themselves evident In those spring
frocks that are made of printed cot
tons or silks. Women have turned
again to clothes that are truthfully de
scribed as pretty. Not rich or showy,
but just full of pretty touches, in color
and material and in style and acces
sories. All the way from simple
“porch dresses” to frocks for all sorts
of afternoon wear, there artT pretty
things In clothes made from new fab
rics.
In cotton, there are English prints,
percale, printed voile, cotton foulard
and lawns to be reckoned with for
making the simple dresses that are so
naive and dainty. They provide many
lovely colors and are combined with
fine organdie in frocks that are charm
ing. Some of these fabrics are bor
dered, as in times gone by, aud these
borders, make accessories, as the
pockets, girdle and collar, that set off
the pattern In the material and em
phasize its color and character.
For afternoon wear there are the
printed foulards in a very light, soft
weave, that are made up with plain
georgette crepe, or with organdie In
accessories. Organdie collars and
collars and cuffs or neck frills are
lovely on them. Very fine tucks and
fine, narrow Val lace edging reveal
their perennial beauty and popularity
in these accessories. Velvet and other
ribbon girdles finish the engaging
story of these frocks.
A modest cotton foulard, shown In
the picture, appeared among the earli
est models made of printed fabrics.
It is less sfimmery than many of the
later arrivals that have short sleeves
supplemented by organdie flounces, or
wide flowing sleeves. But it is a prac
tical little dress, so silky looking that
one must look twice to discover that it
is made of cotton. It has an organdie
frill at the neck and a girdle of velvet
ribbon. In the French blue and light
tan color combination pictured with
blue girdle it deserves to be classed
among pretty dresses. .
Endless Variety in Spring Blouses
There is no such thing as a dull mo
ment among the new spring blouses,
now entering in gay companies, the
shops and stores. There is so great a
variety of styles in them that it is
not easy to pick out features that are
characteristic of the season. But there
is one item that is so-universal in
them that it passes without notice—is
taken as a matter of course. Th^t IS’
the sheerness of the materials used.
Except for the plain and regulation
shirtwaists of silk or linen, or cotton,
there are only diaphanous stuffs in
blouses, with georgette crepe far in
the lead of all others.
Besides this feature of the styles,
there is a preponderance of round-
neck modelk, and many of these fas
ten on the shoulder. The narrow
lace, and the reverse of this, black
Chantilly lace appears, made up over
flesh or white georgette. A good ex
ample of the smart blouse of dark
georgette over cream-colored net ap
pears in the picture. Its sleeves end
trimming are novel, both being char
acteristic of the new seasqn. Besides
these long flowing sleeves, there are
elbow-length sleeves euj kn much the
same way. The trimming is a couch
ing, in which very heavy silk in dark
red is fastened down with another
shade of silk in. the same color. This
couching is used in many * ways and
patterns, and is very easily and quick
ly done. On liftht-colored blouses a
dark couching in harmonious color Is
used, ns brown or light tan, or blue on
tan or whUe.
A striking, novelty, appears in a
shoulder yoke remains a grea\ favor- I blouse of georgette in flesh color with
ite. Small, round crochet and small j collar, cuffs and a square inset
pearl buttons are favored for\fast'e«lng v | ut ^ ron t made of a Japanese silk
and trimming; hemstitching, tucks and i handkerchief with border in light blue,
very narrow Val lace, for ornamenta
tion on the light blouses.
Dark colors, and black, in georgette
are shown made up over white net or
showing a band and iarge dots.

CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT
* . r
Everything for the child., Remember the proud child has a feeling just as well
as her elders. She may not attempt to express them—she may go on in poor dress,
feeling that it is improper to express herself, but there must soon come a feeling of
inferiority to her well-dressed companions, and then a great wrong, has been done her^ Its a good
investment to dress a child well, not ga/ or gaudy, but stylish and substantial. You will be proud
of it; too, as she grows older.
