A Suggestion of a New Silhouette
itutfled organdie is perhaps the fabric
in the highest favor at present for sum
mer dresses. Its dainty appearance and
good wearnig qualities are two of the
reasons for its popularity. This may
be obtained in different widths and in
some instances the entire skirt is made
of these tiny ruffles placed one over
the other.
As a dose rival of organdie, net has
taken a stand. This rather quaint ma
terial d* tinted in the same pasted shades
as organdie. The style of the frocks
is much like the organdie ones, and the
same nv*le of trimming is also used.
They are berufflcd and friJled and
just every bit as dainty as their or
gandie rivals and ? a s?"cret ? a trifle more
exclusive. Cotton net wears well and
is quite easily laundered.
Linen developed in the simplest of
xtylefc, usually in the one-piece chemise
effect, is embroidered in wool of bright
color, for dresses for t lie very warm
weather. Sometimes a binding of wool
braid is used about the edges and tiny
loops hang from it.
The new shade that Paris so readily
sanctioned as the latest and smartest Mr
every garment from the unseen lingerie
to the tiniest bow of trimming on the
fri>ck, has completely invaded the realm
of lingerie. This color is citron, and
is seen in crepe deChine and linen.
Jade-green is also quite popular, but
these ure but nove4tie? and not In the
least wise for the woman of moderate
allowance to invest in. Oounso laces
are replacing Valenciennes to a large
extent on fine French lingerie.
