Speaking of smart cottons for party, par-ty, wedding, and graduate wear, the new Swiss organdies are simply breathtaking in their loveliness. As a convincing argument behold the enchanting evening frock pictured in the foreground of the accompanying illustration.

( and be "in style" whether your choice be mermaid slimness or "Gone With the Wind", southern belle types that register picturesque bouffancy. One of the fascinating vagaries of the present mode is the tiered silhouette as pictured to the right in the group. An adorable multi-colored floral printed cloque organdy fashions this tiered frock which, we are quite sure you will agree, bespeaks a new high h? summer prettiness. Speaking of the now-so-fashionable cloque sheers, an exquisite tissuelike tissue-like matelasse seersucker has been brought out this season that is taking tak-ing the world of fashion by storm. This exquisite sheer in dark colors makes up beautifully for day wear as well as for night and it is ever' so lovely in pastel colorings. For the woman who sews, these diaphanous diapha-nous seersuckers are a veritable find in that the simpler you make them up the more effective is the gown, since the material is so all-sufficient within itself. , Another sheer enjoying a maximum maxi-mum of style prestige is dotted swiss, especially red dots on white, for white with red accents is all the rage just now. You will find, likewise, like-wise, that cotton sheers that are spectacularly patterned with gorgeous gor-geous red flowers or other motif in red are ever so good style this sea- way, most stylish cottons this summer sum-mer are of the romantic type, and this lovely model is no exception to the rule. The fine Swiss cloque organdy which fashions this lovable gown has a June-garden patterning of rose, blue, lavender and white flowers that is simply entrancing. Tiny rose and blue velvet bows prettify pret-tify the skirt flounces catching also the front draping of the flattering bodice. Soft shirring adds interest to the brief puffed sleeves. Formal bands of fine embroidery and cutout are lavishly applied to sheer crystal-clear Swiss organdy for the graceful summer party frock shown above to the left. Under the demure collared bolero the low-cut camisole bodice is finely tucked below be-low a wide edging of embroidery which is repeated as shoulder straps. The endlessly swirling skirt is caught at the waist by a wide pastel taffeta girdle finished with a miniature corsage in delicate shades. It adds to the zest of the new summer fashions that they are that versatile in their styling. You can son. With these red and white cottons cot-tons wear a red hat with matching gloves and for a fine finesse climax the ensemble with red shoes such as were so successfully launched for Southern resort wear earlier in the year.
