design there is no longer need to speculate on the mode and as for fer color the range of favorites is so large and BO so pleasingly varied that the style color-style situation resolves itself into what may readily be called a yourself suit condi condi- tion For the first choice for lor weather warm wL up dress-up frocks the fabric selection is georgette and taffeta is a good second A clever merging of these two favorites favorites favorites favor favor- ites is to be noted in a number of very pleasing models made of a combination combination- ik I k of the two materials The two-piece two blouse dress for general Wear and for sports developed in georgette georgette georgette geor geor- gette or georgette crepe on strictly tailored lines is a great favorite but no greater s-reater than the t lace and lace and elegant and formal formal for formal for for- dress dregs designed on more inure mal Jines lines for special-occasion special wear The all t all taffeta frock is chic and practical practical practical for general wear Like georgette taffeta is combined id with lace or ors frocks on more the s- s sorg georgette org tte to make the two formal lines so in combining favorite dress materials of the summer we have a third and most interesting group of midsummer modes An effective grouping of these m materials materials ma ma- is noted in a piece one-piece frock of I rench French origin the choice of material including not only a matching georgette- georgette taffeta and-taffeta of navy blue but the added charm of white georgette for a blouse with wrist-length wrist puff sleeves of bishop shape Skirt fullness fullness- rather than flare is obtained obtained obtained ob ob- by a gathered full wide front panel of the georgette whereas the taffeta that forms the back of the dress is straight and slim in cut and devoid of flare or fullness except for fora a group of small smaIl tucks at th the underarm seams In direct contrast to the treatment afforded taffeta in the frock just described described described de de- de- de scribed is a dressy frock for young women the most noticeable detail of which is an extremely full skirt ered into a bodice of nearly natural waistline length The kimono kimono sl sleeve kimono sleeve eve shape of this bodice permits adding sections of wrist length rather than the more gen generally rally used puff or shaped bishop-shaped sleeves for the lengthened sleeve persists in demanding attention and acceptance and gets them too even though the sleeved frock is not the most comfortable of summer modes An especially interesting and effective use of taffeta is found in the present vogue of combining a plain-colored plain taffeta with a figured pattern of this same ame silk A striking example of or this style is pictured in a a two-piece two bloused frock with pleated skirt A patterned taffeta in red and white banded by a wide strip of black taffeta makes the skirt of this unusual frock The draped blouse with wi wide de sash ends that fasten at the side front is of black taffeta and the fitted wrist wrist length length sleeves are also of black but they are finished with narrow turnback cuffs of the patterned silk and the V-shaped V neck is finished with a a. a wide scarf of this same material Georgette without question will hold u sway in the fashion world so lo long g as warm weather prevails though later in inthe the summer comfort may demand the temporary retirement of taffeta as a fabric dress favorite there is every likelihood likelihood like like- li that it its strong appeal will riot not be disregarded once early autumn brings some cool days IT T IS interesting to note that while dress designs are showing more and more evidence of of greater attention to details of cut and trimming trimming- while fabI fabric fab fab- l I ric ic c interest is more mor and more apparent and trimming is no longer conspicuous by its absence designs in the matter of footwear are on decidedly simpler lines and ornate trimming trimmings ar are giving way to conservative s and smart tailored Without doubt the pendulum of fashion fashion fashion fash fash- ion swings from the

EARLY T ARLY reports on gloves for autumn proclaim that the predominant colors for kid gloves will be gray squirrel and slate and ind despite comments to the contrary contrary contrary con con- it is predicted that f fancy ncy cuff effects will be sponsored by fashion Taffeta has entered the realm of negligees and many lovely br breakfast coats of taffeta are being worn Some of these coats are rather plain and tailored in style but others have ruffles rumes of narrow lace on th the collar arid and also on the edge the short sleeves and the scalloped hemline Pajamas for weather warm wear a

are the paramount favorites in fabrics for midsummer frocks whether these be tailored tailored semi-tailored or on dressy lines enhanced by trimming One tailored semi-tailored slip-on slip dress of

georgette coat trimmed with taffeta oftener than not has apparently apparently apparently achieved first place in summer- summer coat modes where style and appearance rather than comfort and practicability are the qualities demanded In other words georgette holds first place as the material for the formal or semiformal weather warm-weather wrap Such accessories as hat-and-bag hat sets and

that the mode of matching the hat to harmonize with the the apparel is still the vogue The present vogue of pleated skirts for sports wear and of piece one-piece frocks with G pleated skirt sections strengthens the prediction already made that by autumn 1 more fullness of design will be the rule rather than the exception and that as asa asa a result of ot this fashion n trend the amount of
