WITH THE OVAL NECK LINE

Trimming of the Top Is Reduced to a Minimum —Sleeves Are In Many Styles. A large percentage of the new frocks are cut with the oval neck line, and occasionally in pointed or square neck. Whatever the shape of the neck finish collars and chemisettes are frequently eschewed and the trimming of the top to reduced to a minimum, the effect being rather trying to those who are no longer youthful. However, there are plenty of other styles to choose from; a chemise of linen, organdie or net may be added, with a roll-over collar. Sleeves are varied in style, both long sleeves and short ones being in vogue. The short sleeves sometimes stop somewhere midway of the upper arm and fit the arm rather snugly. Others extend a little below the elbow and are quite wide at the lower part. Many of the frocks for afternoon wear, even wh&n made of dark material, have loose sleeves in linen or mousseline de sole of a quite .light tint, coming out. of vertical armholes, either hanging loose and epen at the elbows or shirred into high gauntleted cuffs of the same material.
