SUMMER FROCKS THAT WASH

Simple Garment, May BeMatfS Very Attractive by a Little Originality and Ingenuity. Much originality and ingenuity may be exercised in planning these summer frocks of wash fabric or silk, if one or two salient rules for the cut of the garment be very carefully followed. A gown designed along perfectly correct llnfcs is made collarless, with V or square shaped neck, peasant bodice, elbow sleeves, afad high empire waist-line, finished either with a narrow cording of the material or a narrow draped girdle. The skirt may be laid In one-half-inch tucks all around, finished at the lower edge with a plain fifteen or twenty inch flounce, or It may be made with a wide panel in both front and back and circular side portions. Variety of design is obtained by the addition of applied yokes of contrasting material cut in many original shapes, the same material trimming the sleeves. —Harper’s Bazar.
