SIMPLICITY IN NEW STYLES

This Feature Is Particularly Notable in Street Dresses—Afternoon Frocks In Two Materials. Trimness and simplicity are particularly notable in street dresses, says the Dry Goods Economist. Although afternoon dresses may be cut on similar lines, there is a decided tendency toward the use of two materials, silk crepe and satin, crepe and serge, etc., and there Is a great amount of drapery and plaits in evidence. Richness of effect is added to many dresses by the use of a satin body lining under crepe, in contrasting or self color., Loose panels and plaited panels, in varied lengths, predominate in street dresses and there is q preponderance of the turnover collar extending to the waistline. I The regulation ropnd or square collar also continues to be popular. A now coat-dress shows a standing collar, the dress fastening on the side to the waistline.
