Because we want to look immaculate and feel cool, because we've found that only wash-ables wash-ables can give u that wonderful, fresh-from-the-laundry cleanness, we are growing more and more to appreciate ap-preciate how completely washables attain to our ideals of perfect materials ma-terials for perfect summer days. This summer we'll wear washables all day, every day and for late in the night. This season, more than ever before, be-fore, we are discovering that there can be and is true aristocracy and a wealth of possibilities in sterling quality-kind linens, piques and other oth-er of the myriads of lovely weaves we've hitherto taken for granted. And now that the women of America Amer-ica have been led by designers and style creators to look upon washables as fabrics of beauty and a joy forever we are yielding utterly utter-ly to their lure this season. Women who insist on being beautifully beau-tifully dressed no matter how busy their lives may be will appreciate at first glance the appeal of fine artistry and deft workmanship reflected re-flected in the three dresses illustrated illus-trated above. They live up to the tradition of the designer who created cre-ated them and who is noted for exquisitely ex-quisitely simple styling and unusual detail. Among fine wash weaves Moy-gashel Moy-gashel linen has ever been noted for its superior look, feel and wear. Happily this linen is still being imported im-ported from the North of Ireland. The demure little suit dress shown to the left in the above picture is just about as pretty and cool for a summer sum-mer afternoon as ever a dress might be. This beautifully cut origi- I nal has a brief peplumed jacket and a graceful unpressed pleated skirt. Exquisite Venise lace borders the jacket and cuffs. Three flower buttons but-tons clear almost to transparency blossom down the front- It's lovely and feminine as any one could wish, charming and choice enough for any young woman of faultless taste to wear in the most select environs. Practical, too, for it washes like the proverbial "hanky." Simple line is the important detail de-tail which makes the adorable dress centered in the picture. It's one of those classics of sophisticated simplicity sim-plicity to live in and love all summer sum-mer long. Of soft rayon shantung, with tiers of hand-turned scallops on the pockets and pearl-buttoned bodice, bod-ice, it has all the high class styling of the best in washable summertime fabric manipulation. Worn with a shady-brimmed hat, nothing could be cooler looking or feeling. Stop, look, listen! In the dress to the right in the above group you are receiving advance notice of a fashion fash-ion you'll see more of this fall and winter, that is, the use of rich embroidery em-broidery on the slim-lined dress. It's of cool Moygashel linen. Made very simply, with a deep-throated neckline and soft front fullness its restrained simplicity the more keenly highlights the chalk-white embroidery on collar and pockets. Wear it proudly and often, for it washes well and is easy to keep fresh. One of the favored washables is pique, birdseye pique, eyeleted pique, printed pique, or embroidered pique. With this immaculate-looking immaculate-looking washable designers are performing per-forming wonders in the way of sports apparel, daytime costumes, jacket dresses and party frocks which are most intriguing. Pique takes beautifully to trimmings of Irish crochet lace, which is being used very effectively. Printed pique combined with plain injects a splurge of color attuned to this summer's mood.
