SIMPLICITY IS THE KEYNOTE

This Season’s Linen and Cotton Dresses Are Cut on Simple .j. Lines. Linen and cotton dresses are this season cut on simple lines that never fall to please. Gingham, madras, percale and the various linen patterns depend largely upon their perfection of fit. Many of the dresses are arranged with belts that are sufficient in themselves, but allow the addition' of the wide leather belts so much in vogue. Simplicity is the keynote of the summer frock. The Individual touch can be given by applying the decoration in embroidery of an unpretentious sort, either to the collar and cuffs, on plain linen or to the embroidery that is used as trimming. The decoration of the summer frock must not be overdone. Just a few masses of color, will suffice, and the more dashy and, of necessity, quickly done uie stitches the better. A belt of patent leather or soft suede is the usual thing, giving a tailored finish to the dress and solving the difficulties at the waist line. And last of all, if you possibly can wear the collarless frock, take advantage of the cool comfort that is attractive, clean and that is so easily achieved by the home dressmaker.
