Bright Frocks for Gay Times

ripHE sweet young person so evldentX ly pleased with things in general and her party frock in particular, as 'shown in the picture ahove, has very good-reason to be satisfied. You wll.l notice that nothing less beautiful and impressive than georgette crepe has been used for this important dress, in which she may attend a June bride as flower girl or be dressed up for any other great occasion. These models in georgette may be made in organdy, net, or other sheer materials, plain or figured, and will be pretty in any of them, but georgette leads Just a little in the adorable procession of almost transparent goods. Both the pretty frocks pictured have short sleeves, round neck, straight skirt and frills of the georgette, and each has a gathered waist, a little short, and narrow ribbon for a girdle, finished with bows having loops and ends of about the same length. In the dress at the left, this bow is placed directly in front and the skirt

Is fuller than in the Diner frock. Its decoration is completed with four narrow flounces gathered with a little frill atthe top. Two similar flounces finish the sleeves. A' very narrow- and fine lace makes a pretty neck finish and a surplice drapery of georgette 4s caught to the waist with very small chiffon roses set on the shoulders and at. each side. In the other frock a narrower skirt has -three tucks above the hem and an apron drapery at the front, edged with 'a narrow flounce. A little chiffon rose is set on this drapery where it is trimmed to a point at each side. The waist has a short cape, plaited about the neck and scalloped at the lower edge, where a flounce is set on. Two rows of narrow ribbon, like that on the girdle, add a little gleam of satin to this soft drapery. Colored organdy Is a favored material for young girls’ party dresses, trimmed with tucks or with flounces of the same.
