New materials and new mixtures of materials are designed to give a fresh, crisp look with a minimum of time spent at the ironing board! Cotton ridged with tiny tucks is pretty for a wide summer skirt or for a straight, tailored dress. The tucks not only beautify but also keep the dress, skirt, or whatever from crushing. Tucked material is especially practical for traveling since it doesn't show the usual ill effects prodluced by suitcases. Tailored, broadcloth blouses with a little-boyish look are pretty and popular this season. Now they come in a mixture of cotton andl orIon that only looks like broad cloth. It wvashes easily and diries qluickly and smoothly--without having to be ironed at all. Cool, summer sweaters are some thing new, too. They come in a variety of colors, in cotton or nylon, or in wool for chilly days. Most of them are styled for sport wear with shorts andl pedal pushers. Others are going to be more dressy-with lace collars. Sport clothe, are striking a practical, eas;y-to-keep tone in dten im or stripped seersuockeri. Shorts, pedal push51ers, and slacks with blouses and jackets to mix or match come in these sturdy ma terials. Anad they require only a qunick lick and a promise of ironing. Another new fabric is dacron, prob)abl y a first cousin o f nylon and orIon. It is a cool, summer material that is predicted to strike a new note in summer fashions.
