FROCKS OF COLORED LINEN

Charming Models Are Being Shown, Made Up In Variety of Styles That Seems Endless.

Linen frocks of more or less severity are made up In the very soft linen and in lovely colors. Very frequently the linen is used only for a skirt and an overblouse of some kind, while the long-sleeved underbody is of finest cotton voile or sheerest white linen. Russian blouse lines reappear insistently in these overblouses and in silk frock blouses, too.

There are many little plaited overblouses belted a trifle high, with very short frill peplums, among the twixt season models in crepe and soft silks and a popular little frock of this type is rose crepe. Its overblouse and skirt are entirely plaited in narrow box plaits, except where the fullness of the skirt is shirred in a hip yoke, to develop into box plaits below. The long sleeves are of rose chiffon and the chemisette and high flaring collar frill of fine cream lace with a bow of smoke gray velvet to match the narrow riband girdle of gray velvet.
