Fashion Sponsors Ginghams

welcomes the return to high favor of all the old, familiar cotton materials —the ginghams, organdies, voiles — that have a flavor of other days and the simple life about them. Blouses, simply designed, with every stitch of their making put* In by hand, underthings carefully made and daintily trimmed, with pretty stitchery for decoration, and frocks for Indoor and outdoor wear, of staple, familiar cotton goods, find themselves more highly regarded just now than for many a year. It Is a reaction away from ostentatious dressing and reckless spending and is sponsored by the best people in the land. For morning wear, in or out of town, there are such altogether delightful gingham dresses as that appearing

here In a yellow, black and white crossbar. Insets of white cotton poplin at the front, on the sleeves and belt, with wmte pearl buttons, give a crisp, fresh touch that looks cooL The hat is made of the same materials with white poplin crown, gingham brim and band, and the flat button on the crown is covered with poplin. Finally a white parasol with wood handle softens the summer sunshine that filters through it. Either white or black footwear may be chosen for wear with a morning dress like this and the choice depends upon the demands the road to be traversed will make upon it Plain chambrays and ginghams, with a little white organdy combined with them, make the prettiest house-dresses, while heavier white cottons are used with dresses for out of doors.
