Notice the cardigan neckline and the belt with the leather fastening. By ADELAIDE KERR AP Fashion Editor Many of this summer’s spectator frocks tell their fashion news in| print. Where women gather out of doors you'll see them—simple, smooth lit- tle frocks whose surfaces are broken by a rhythmic printed pattern, gen- erally in white silhouetted against color. Some are made of smooth crepes or non-crushable yoiles, Others step out in gruisaline, a rayon of rustic weave mixed with a little silk, and printed _ with whive patterns, in- spired by Wedgewuod china, grounds of light, blue, rose, per- venche blue or a cool blue-green named spruce. There are someé flower prints, ‘ton. mingling the blues and laven- ders or the rusts and yellows of an old-fashioned garden, in thick flor- al patterns on a white voile ground. on| | | Some of these flower priuts are col~ Tanana ing U.
