The average womai) buys, this mout^, ma terial enough to lust her for the ooui 1 lug year. All the atqres have "White Males," and batiste am! nainsook ran U' purchased for almost nothing Thin year we have, aside rrom our regu lar resolutions, those we have made to help win the war. We are going to do our bit, and the time to start Is now. Does the simplicity wo have hoard preached on thy subject of frocks and coats extend to the lingerie? lty all mcaus, yes. We must buy only whut we really need, and uj*j that little with forethought. The same spirit that made for Vic tory in 1776 and the dark days that followed. Is abroad today. Then our grandmothers' mothers made their own clothVs, as we are doing today, but they went even farther and made the material Itself. This is lmj>osslblo Bewitchingly Simple and Youthful for us. It would he farcial for us to turn our backs ofi the j>er?eet ma chinery of to<lay and take up the band looms and spinning wheels of our grandmothers. But wo can cut our material according to ^ur pattern, and our pattern must foe simple and eco nomical. When planning the Spring wardrobe (and now Is a good time to do It, for the sho]>s are full of tempting materials and there Is more time than later on when the clothes are really needed,) choose the ma terial that will wear the longest.' In :>ther words, "Be sure you're right, then* go ahead." v'or delightfully InfonnH! n f. fairs that are always so much fun, one needs a frock simple and becom ing. The illustration shows a design that will appeal to the most fastid ious person. Made of silk voile or mull, it has a- youthful round neck, with an attractive collarband (if one may call so bewitching a thing by so prosaic a name!) of fleshcolored satin. The sleevebands and the girdles are of the same material, as are the three perky little ruffles across the back. The slight fulness in the rwalst is charmingly arranged, and, as you can see, the skirt is not overly full. There is no trimming, the edgos being picot ed, that ever-present solution to the problem of "finishings." This is the type of dress that is appropriate for afternoon or Informal evening wear. A Call From the Red Cross.
