Show Fine 'Cottons in Spring Clothes J ------- i ,m ml ar-aaaaaiaBBBB ytttV BjflBBBBJI i??i rJjK For some lime cheerful and reassuring reassur-ing rumors have been flouting about, like soft, spring breezes, that there Is to be a return to line, sheer cottons for blouses and dresses next spring. This Is more than a rumor now, since these lovely materials are demanded by people who are .Incklig South In greater numbers than ever nnd at much earlier dates than heretofore to thoso winter resorts (lint uro tilled with smartly-dressed people. For them very tine voile blouses, mostly In all white nnd made by hand, are already nn assured as-sured success. Organdy proves popular popu-lar In hendwear, accessories and frocks, many resort hats featuring It both In the body of the hat and In the trimmings. All gentlewomen will welcome tho return of simple dresses and blouses, bountifully innde nnd adorned with old. time hand stltchery. There Is a re llneinent about them not exceeded by even tho sheerest silk weaves-, und tho crlspness of organdy makes pouslblo certain effects In trimming thnt cannot can-not be duplleuled by other muterluls. It Is manufactured In all the light shndes ns well us white, and thetu uro tued alone and In combination with white. In tho picture iibnvo thore Is an example ex-ample of what can be done with or gundy In frock and lint. It Is it simple sim-ple dress with plain skirt faluiiH.il to 1 narrow u little from the middle of the ' figure to the hem. Narrow frills tic-j tic-j cent If lines. There Is a repetition of this trimming Idea tin the rather full sleeves. A plain, full waist Is finished with u fichu of the organdy, edged with three llouucos, and a long sash with vortical frills at the bottom completes com-pletes a frock that culls for nothing but organdy In Its makeup. Tho pretiy hut to mutch is of ex actly tho same chnructer us the dress, but It allows Itself decorations In angora an-gora yarn embroidery. This combination combina-tion of tho sheerest of cottons with tho woollest of yarns would be stur-tllng stur-tllng If one hnd not been educated up to It by tho same Idea worked out In silk nnd ungoru, both taffeta and crepc-de-chluc having proved that beautiful effects ure wrought by It. In January tho stores all over tho country present their first displays of new cotton goods for spring. Already women who ure elever with the needle are planning their blouses of sheer cot tons for next summer and making up things for themselves and their children chil-dren ho that more time may be spent out-of-doors when spring Is here. |
