DAINTY AND USEFUL

BMART FROCK THAT WILL APPEAL TO ALL WOMEN. Nothing Prettier Has Been Bhown In Many Year* Than This Model — Makea Up Well In 8111 c, Cotton or Linen. You could hardly find anything prettier or more practical than this dainty frock for the college girl or small woman. It Is easy to slip Into, because It is In one piece, and it has all the

fullness necessary for both comfort and fashion. This design is built of sports silk, in one of those new heavy weaves that have such lovely surfaces. Some like linen crash; some like uneven ripples of grass-cloth. This dress is of delft blue, with lit-

tie shirred trimmings down the front and around the sleeves. The sash is of dark blue and the skirt consists of two simple and very full Spanish flounces —that is, the effect is in the Spanish flounce style, but the two portions are put on a lining that reaches to the lower portion. The same design is equally pretty in any of the. season’s silks or * thin cottons or linens. In the case of taffetas there should be trimming of quillings, scallops, ruchings or cordings around the flounceß, and if cotton goods are used the skirt portions should be finished with small ruffles. These are always fetching, and they wash better than any other decoration. Lace or embroidery may be used as an edging, either with or without the ruffles.

Smart Double-Flounce Skirt.
