The hem of the smart frock is by no means regular. Light frocks are scattered with gay cotton flowers. Bold striped goods will be much used : for trimmings. Many of the new sleeves end just below the elbow. A frock of chambray has a vest and hem of gingham. Some separate skirts consist of four tiers of pleating. Many suits feature belt and waiste coat cut together. The tailored suit autocratically de- mands a tailored hat. All-over stitching appears on the prettiest of fancv coats.
