MORNING DRESSES OF CREPE

Gowns Made of This Material Are Charming In Their Simplicity. Colored cotton crepe seems to have been relegated to the realm of dressing sacques and kimonos, but smart morning dresses are being shown of this material and are charming in their simplicity. One effective little frock was of delicate mauve crepe. The skirt was slightly gathered and three wide folds were put on near the bottom to resemble tucks. The soft girdle of the same material was about three inches wide, and the waist, which was simply tucked, opened down the front with crocheted buttons. A flat collar of the finest hand embroidery trimed the low qut neck and this was repeated in the cuffs, which effectively finished the elbow sleeves. Taken altogether the dress was simple, indeed, but very smart. comes in a great many shades, soft pinks, blues, browns and all in the most beautiful tones.
