For you may feed it for an ‘afternoon affair. of the country child and ‘of that _huusehold treasure, the old-fashioned "cook, has suddenly become the fashion. Truth to tell, néither . the ,country child nor the kitchen queen ‘Wears gingham patterned at all Itke /that of the frock about which the so- ciety woman is waxing enthusiastic. About the new ginghams there is nothing suggestive of the sternly prac- tical. The coloring always is delicate, summery, frivolous. There is a model of sheerest weave in yellow and white stripes and of design g0 simple that to the tyro it seems as though any one might copy it. But Just let the ama- teur try. At least the effort will teach her a valuable lesson as to wasting time in’ attempting to duplicate an artistic triumph: i ¢ Gingham ruffles! The idea is allur- ing, -but not so much so as is the reality, particularly when seen in a model in red and white checking. On its ungored skirt is a =single deep flounce, topped by four ruffles of uni- form width, the edge of the uppermost frill coming only an inch or so below | the base of the hips. This trimming scheme makes the hips seem slender, as in this case they would need to be, glnce the top of the skirt must appear to merge with a bodice whose plain- ness is relieved only by a clever drap- ing arrangement between waistline and bust. Abeove that the material fits smoothly, and is broken only by two rows of white pearl buttons and a slightly squared-down neck, finished ‘ywith a narrowly turned-over collar in plain red lawn. The narrow yet wrinkled long sleeves are as plain as | the bodice. Not all ginghams, how- ever, are untrimmed, for some of the Lest models show combinations .of madras and plain ‘handkerchief linens. Among these are exquisite patterns in pink, blue, mauve, green The apron materidl 8638 Fancy Biouse, 34 to 40 bust.
