MODISH IDEAS

Organdie or batiste folds are in general use for trimming purposes on cotton and silk dresses. Hats of gingham are mentioned for the little girls. They are usually of the mushroom or poke shapes. Filet lace trimming and hand embroidery are prominent on sheer white voile and organdie summer dresses. For dressy wear the newest black satin slipper has a narrow collar all the way round, of cut jet and no buckle. Perhaps the most modish coat collar - is the one which is rather wide, softly draped and merging into long revers or an elongated vest front. Black velvet handbags are to bo used this summer with the lingerie dresses. These new bags also come in very dark brown and blue, with ivorine frames. . There are many sleeve innovations — some revivals of old fashions that are quaint and pretty, while others are new ideas smartly carried out in new materials.
