Another reason for the choice of or- gandy is this belief in the mipds of those who design apparel that it is timeé to submit to women the propo- sition that they return to traditional warm weather clothes.

Twenty years ago She would have received the same startled attention if she had appeared at a lunch in a fashionable spot wearing a gray and black flannel tajlored sult with flat-heeled patent leather pumps and a rough straw sailor hat wrapped with a crepe de chine crown band. Thus do fishiohs change the public's viewpoint. To judge by present indications, there ‘will be many stattied eyes in public places this summer, for not only will white be worn iA the middle of the da in the turmoil of a great city, but it will be of chiffon, of thin crepe de chine, of voile. 1t will be ai tended by gowns of coloréd organdy, and it will be trimmed with fantastic BLACK TAFFETA GOWN TRI MMED WITH RUFFLES OF WHITE ORGANDY, WITH LARGE BLACK RIBBON ROSETTE AT WAIST.

The tight bodice has more of these ruffles at the second empire decolletage and on the edge of the very short sleeves.
