Fact is, there is a regular epidemic of checks, little, medium, and big, sweeping across the fashion horizon this season. In the cotton realm the vogue for checks, plaids and polka dots rages on and on. It gives a new importance and meaning to tub fabrics that nowadays nowa-days they can be absolutely relied on, if they carry the proper guarantee guar-antee label, to be both sun and suds-proof, suds-proof, due to their everfast processing. process-ing. It is also noteworthy of the new cottons and other washable weaves that they are receiving the same meticulous styling that in years gone by was reserved for fine wools and silks and such. Which all leads to the present new order of events, that cottons and rayon weaves tub to perfection and go everywhere with high style acclaim these days. It is washables such as herewith pictured that are riding the crest of the wave in point of high-fashion importance. The attractive dress shown to the right is made of poplin plaided in pink and black, which has been ever-fast processed, so that no matter how many times it is laundered it will come out bright and lovely as ever. Its absolutely fast colors will refuse to give way no matter if an inexperienced little bride tubs it or it has had to pass the test of a boom-town laundry. This stunning dress in pink and black, a color combination especially espe-cially outstanding this spring, will be equally chic going about town, or stopping to linger at the club or to play a game of bridge. The self-pleating self-pleating that trims the bodice front and the pockets is a favored fashion gesture. Self-ruffles and pleatings adorn most of the simple daytime frocks, imparting a youthful air that is most pleasing. The designer of the smart ever- fast gingham, shown to the left, carries car-ries out the new and popular idea of trimming with self-pleating. The handling of the plaid so as to form designful points down the center front of the skirt is also an interesting inter-esting feature. Dresses of this type will prove smart suburban and town mainstays this summer. They wash prettily, iron quickly and go perfectly per-fectly with either colored or white accessories. Polka dots are as popular as ever. They share style prestige equally with checks, plaids and stripes. The winsome frock centered in the picture makes appeal because be-cause of its exquisite simplicity and because of the attractiveness of the polka dot material of which it is ' fashioned. This charming model was one of many lovely wash frocks shown at a style revue recently staged by the Chicago National Wash Apparel association. The sun rayon weave is in powder blue with large white polka dots. The row on row of white machine stitching which trims this gown is handled most effectively. This is the sort of dress you will treasure, for it has a ladylike charm which every woman wom-an covets. If you are going in for smart cottons cot-tons this summer, and of course you are, for "everybody's doing it," don't miss the joy of owning a little bolero two-piece, either skirt and bolero or sun-back one-piece dress and bolero made of brightly colorful color-ful plaid gingham. If you choose the skirt-and-bolero type, you will find it very practical as it looks so positively posi-tively smart and pretty worn with frilly white sheer blouses or with dark monotone types that have a lot of snowy sheer frou-frou about neckline neck-line and sleeves.
