By Lady Duff-Gordon REE notes dominate Summer gowns of the smarter sort. They are bouffant. They are ornate. Stripes and contrasts per- sist in their construction. The largest picture ou this page presents & typical smart frock of the Summer of 1916. It has, you will observe, the three distinguishing features I have cited--bouffancy, embellishment and stripes. The model can be reproduced in any dark color preferred, with alternating stripes of white or of lighter shade of the dark hue. The material may be substantial volie, gracefully cling- l:u Georgette crepe or delicate ba tiste, The wide skirt has a three-quar ter length tunic of the same mate- rial. Varlety is given by horizontal bands and narrow side panels of the reversed stripes. The sleeves aré of silk in the solid dark color pres- ent in the stripe. A girdle loosely crossed in.front shows the colors of the motif of the gown. This effect may be secured by lining the dark colored .sil® with silk corresponding to the paler .color of the scheme or by securing the useful reversible silk, the silk that ‘has its own lining, The hanging ends of the girdle.are fringed. ‘The bodice turns back in long re- vers “of white net fnished with scantly gathered lace qn one side and a cascade of it on the other. The front ie dlled in with full, gath- ered fihe net. The edges of the silk sleeve are finished by narrow turned back cuffs. Under these are closer sleeves of lace half fitting at.the wrists. The plcture at the bottom of the page is a model that will be effec- tive in white or light colored linen, faille or taffeta. The full skirt is rendered moré bouffant by the wide flounces of its garniture, A smart new touch is given by a tightditting walstcoat of dark satin, chosen sc- cording to the taste of the wearer. The sleeves are/of elbow length, The third model here reproduced is the simplest yet. It shows to what amount of ornamentation & lingerie gown is susceptible, The simple white gown with a blue sash will look frumpy this season. It you have one, adorn it with fresh wide embroldered flounces and introduce fullness into the bodice. Note the large buckle that* emphss sizes the wide, soft. girdle.
