More than ever the fashion picture for summer is showing up this trend to gay skirts of peasant extraction with dainty feminine blouses or with blouses that are frankly colorful and casual for prac tical wear. The more the merrier is apparsentiment ently the prevailing among youngsters who are making it their hobby to acquire collections made of most unexpected materials. In their skirt wardrobes you'll find skirts of patchwork calicoes that look as if they had stepped right out of grandmas quilting bee into the Might lights of the fashion world.

Here, in the above illustrat cn, you will see several skirt types that are holding forth in the sphere of youthful fashions as demonstrated c at a recent display at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. One of the most popular types, which is making a repeat engagement this summer, is the patchwork skirt which is more highly colorful and than ever. It is interesting to note that whereas last year's dirndls achieved their patch-worappearance entirely through printed pattern, this years dirndls have the patchwork actually sewn together. The pieces for the skirt pictured are red, green and yellow all with the same flower motif. A practical and likable idea is seen in sister skirts which illustrate the possibilities of related fashions for all the family. As you see pictured these sponsor the practical suspender versions. Embroidered bands contribute gay color. In this employment of band trimmings there's a message of important fashion news. Perhaps the sturdiest types in the skirts made of washable fabrics are those of blue denim. Some are neatly tailored, have self belts and buckles, deeply squared or rounded pockets designed entirely to give utilitarian service. Skirts in a dressier mood are of white jersey, or spun rayon and shantung textures that are in embroidery done in a Russian technique. Other outstanding gestures point to gypsy flower-prin- t skirts that have head squares of the same bizarre print. Stripes, too, are seen everywhere. Flower jewelry, flower buttons, flower prints, hats, flowers worn in the hair, all point to an extremely summer flowery ahead. The flower idea is esp daily announced by wee hats (if they can be called bats) which consist of nothing more than a huge cluster of flowers arranged on a wide bandeau, so that the flowers pose over the brow in a stunning bouquet. These flower fan asies are entrancing, and their enchantment Is increased by whiffs of colorful veiling. The newest white frocks take on elaborate appliques of cutout print flowers, and the latest while jersey swim suits boast flowery surface decoration.
