Sun Fashions, Juniper Dresses Reflect Pinafore Influence

T'HE word “pinafore” is cer- * tainly having a tremendous influence in the styling of the prettypretty wash frocks which are the pride and joy of every woman, child and teen-ager who has a yen for the daintily feminine in dress. A pinafore used to be just a pinafore, described in the dictionary as “a sleeveless apron protecting the front of a child’s dress.” But now the question is, when is a pinafore a pinafore—for not only are young girls taking to wearing the most charming pinafores eye e’er beheld as sun frocks, but this summer the pinafore influence is going that strong you see it reflected in many of the most bewitching wash dresses that ever graced a summer fashion picture. The two lovely-to-behold sun fashions pictured in the foreground of the illustration have gone decidedly pinafore in their styling—but they really are dresses. It’s just such beguilingly simple frocks as these made of the most fascinating cottons and other delectable washables that ever one might hope to see, that are taking the fashion world by storm this summer. If there is one material beloved more than another this season for the making of pretty little garden frocks and playtime dresses and party gowns, that material is glazed chintz, in colors so delicious, fruit and flower patterns so temptingly realistic and lovely, that they really must be seen to be appreciated, for mere words cannot

Fads and Fancies

There’s novelty appeal In the sterling silver or gold-finish anklets such as modern young women are wearing this season. The dainty links are centered with an oblong monogram tag. Wear one to the next dance. Here’s a novel and most pleasing idea. It’s a new filmy mesh black veiling that you can buy by the yard that has lacy little butterflies patterned all over instead of the usual regulation dots or other customary designs.

describe them. And the good news about them is that this season they are processed with an everglaze finish that stays crisp and lustrous through repeated launderings. Rosy red apples pattern the chintz that makes the charming sun fashion to the left, and, for the other model, it’s the full-blown rose that lends indescribable loveliness to a most charming sun frock. The fashion these days is for mothers and their small daughters to wear jumper frocks or pinafore frocks alike in everything but size. You will be entranced with the cunning mother-daughter companion frocks and also aprons that are making such a fascinating showing in the season’s style parade. The mother and daughter twosome shown above in the picture is typical of the now-so-popular trend. Here again we see the pinafore influence reflected in the styling of these attractive jumpers. Made of sheer cotton seersucker, these dresses are as practical as they are good-looking. Notice how the paisley stripe has been used like a border around the waist and as shoulder straps on the bibs. The blouses are of fine cotton batiste “dolled up” too pretty for words with ribbon - drawn embroidered beading. You can get the loveliest seersuckers this season that make up to a nicety in the new pinafore sun fashions, some with florals in gorgeous colorings, others in the new fashionable stripes and all thoroughly practical in that they can be washed in a jiffy and require little or no ironing. You’ll love this season’s chambrays which come in exquisite pastel monotones in stripes and sometimes prettily be-flowered. These are made up with all sorts of frills and furbelow’s and are often plentifully adorned with laces or eyelet embroidery. Then there’s pique, don’t forget pique! Perfectly stunning are the apron dresses of pique so primly starched and so handsomely trimmed in eyelet pique bands and rufflings. Released by Western Newspaper Union.

To Whom A pretty young girl applied for a job at a factory and was given an application blank to fill out. When she came to the line which read “Last Engaged” she hesitated a moment and then wrote in a flowering script: “To Jack Miller.” The easiest way to find out how many relations you have is to buy a summer cottage.
