FOR RAINY DAY IN SUMMER

One-Piece Dress of Dark Material Offers Solution to Problem Confronting Many Women. Everyone wishes to dress as comfortably cool as possible when the thermometer is doing its best to register as far above the nineties as possible. Light-weight clothes, light colors and sensible styles are necessary for summer comfort. There are days, however, when a light dress looks out of place, and yet the atmosphere Is so full of humidity that one must have something cool. The one-piece dress of a dark color Is the solution to this problem which confronts every woman, but Is more serious for the woman who goes to business every day. Dark blue is perhaps tLe color that will be most welcomed, although dark green Is a close second. There should be at least one or two frocks of this color In every summer wardrobe. As for the materials of which to make them, there are many suggestions to give. Voile is a very wise selection. It is cool, it does not add bulk to the figure and it launders beautifully. Handkerchief linen is another delightful material, although the objection that Is likely to be raised to this is the fact that it musses quickly. One business woman who is always the picture of neatness and coolness even on the hottest day upholds the advantages of having at least two dark silk dresses In the summer wardrobe. light-weight taffeta. Whichever she selects Is combined with georgette crepe, for with sleeves of this material a frock cannot help but be cool.
