YOUR SUMMER DANCE FROCK

Rainbow Gown Is Entitled to Claim Honorable Mention Among Things Beautiful. The summer dance frock is always a problem. It has to endure more beauty-sapping wear and should cost. -R-gpoet less than the winter evening gown. Then it must be lovely to the eye and yet lack heavy trimming. here is a suggestion for you if you are trying to solve this problem yourself. It is as charming a bit of apparel as you ever saw and yqu can make it yourself. The charm of it is its colorfulness and its originality. The skirt is made by joining bands of chiffon about five inches wide. Starting at the hem is a pink, then ~wmes a band of faintest Nile green, and then comes a lovely pale blue. Then the cycle begins all over again with the pink and continues until the skirt is built up to the waistline. You will wonder how these are fastened together so that it does not look like a patchwork quilt. Well, they are Cagotted together. The waist is per-

fectly plain, coming down rather low over the shoulders and has puffed sieves that end considerably above the elbow. There is a triple sash to go with the triple scheme of the whole dress. Narrow two-toned ribbon 11 Hißd. Pink, green and blue narrow ribbons —all with silver backs —go about the waist and end on the side in very long loops and ends. They are finished at the waistline with small pink satin roses. This rainbow dance frock is fully entitled to claim honorable mention among things beautiful in every line. No dress you could plan would be in price and offer such t> charming result. Then just think of the distlnctiofi 6f luting a whole handmade dress!
