Show PLAIN LINES MOST POPULAR This Season's Linen Suits Are Made With None or Very Little Trimming. While the coarser linens are used, those made of the finer twisted thread are liked quite as well. Very little trimming is needed. The lace collar and cuffs or the lingerie frill at neck and wrists suffice, though, of course, buttons and buttonholes, lace and embroidery em-broidery may figure as trimmings. Oddity of cut is, however, the only thing necessary for those who wish something different. It is surely dif-ferent"enough dif-ferent"enough to have the back of the coat and skirt cut across on the bias or otherwise manipulated. Yet, such manipulations offer no difficulties to the laundress. These suits may be made coat and skirt fashion or in the coat and dress effect. Both styles have their good points, many considering consid-ering the former the most economical, since a fresh blouse may be donned as often as the wearer pleases. And sleeves and necks do have a way of becoming soiled before it is necessary to send the entire dress to the laundry. laun-dry. Many dresses are being made, too, in linen and kindred weaves. The severity se-verity of these all-in-one gowns is beginning be-ginning to disappear. While the puffs seen on taffetas are not available there are pipings, inlayings and bands in contrasting fabrics. Fancy linens and linens with openwork open-work borders are effectively utilized, though one who is at all clever at designing de-signing will be able to achieve very fine suits with the plain sorts. It's the design, cut and finish that counts, also the aeeepsories. One girl, for ex-'ample, ex-'ample, is to look smart in her white linens this summer; the only color she is to add is sapphire or coral, as the spirit may move her. Whether she chooses the blue or the odd pink shade she will wear it in the shape of silk stockings, ribbon watch fob and necktie, and no other color will appear ap-pear except she chooses to' carry a parasol in the color she is wearing. |
