N ASSEMBLING the new summer
I wardrobe, don't overlook the im­
portance of linen for all-occasion
wear. There really Is no material
that more faithfully holds its own
than handsome Irish linen.
With
women of discriminating taste, fine
linen Is a tradition, and now, be­
cause of scientific processing, the
new linens are rendered practically
non-wrinkable.
Aside from the practical view,
which ranks linen high because of
its complete washability, crease-
resistancy and adaptability to any
type of wearing apparel, style ex­
perts are suggesting linen because
of the beautiful colors in which it
may now be purchased.
A trend Oils season is the com­
bining of linen with another fabric.
You'll see many linen dresses with
wool coats, lined and collared to
match the dress. Linen also may be
combined with silk or rayon prints
very effectively. Often a monotone
linen coat is lined with the print of a
matching frock. In these instances,
the linen used is one of the heavier,
sturdier weaves, either plain or
with self-plaid woven into the fabric.
A fashion highlight this season is
the newly styled longer jackets of
solid colored linen, worn over bright
gingham checks or printed cottons.
The attractive ensemble centered in
the photograph illustrates the idea.
The jacket, of deep green linen, is
cut as expertly and fits as suavely
as any painstakingly tailored wool.
It tops a black, white and green
checked dress which follows careful­
ly the lines of a classic shirtwaist
frock.
The use of linen in two-toned com­
binations Is a this-acason theme that
stresses the popular contrast-color

vogue. Two shades of Irish linen, a
rich tan and a deep green, combine
to dramatize the South American in­
fluence shown in the simulated bo­
lero of this good-looking dress. This

The
wrinkle-resistant Irish linen,
double blue-and-white collar and
cuffs are edged with red rickrack,
and the chic crocheted belt also com­
bines the three colors.
A fashion that women will wel­
come Is the rcdlngote that is styled
of linen in handsome dark mono-
tones.
This is worn over print
frocks very effectively and over linen
dresses of a contrasting shade. A
practical as well as smart item tn
any wardrobe is the linen suit that is
fashioned with the longer jacket In

White-Ground Prints New
In Summer Fashion Picture
It Is the white-ground prints that
have the coveted "ni -r” look. The
black-on-white combination is espe­
cially smart Wear with these black-
and-whites one of the very voguish
large Milan hats, carry a patent bag
matched with pumps, splash a dash
of red or yellow in gloves and your
boutonniere—the sum total will be
“style.”
Blue on white is also new and the
prints that pattern red or yellow on
white are exceedingly chic.
Handknit Apparel Enjoys
Increase in Popularity
There is a large demand for hand­
knit apparel.
Even the machine
knits have been brought to such a
point of perfection that they have
the handknit look. Dresses are so
expertly fashioned that they do not
miss any of the styling details that
give distinction to fabric treat­
ments.
Sweaters and cardigans abound in
unique trimmings, such as wool
yarn fringe, dangling tassels, em­
broideries and knitted skirts are now
made with pleats or gores.
Low-Cut Necklines Call
For Bra to Match Dress
Dramatic bags, with swank shoes
of shiny perforated leather to match,
are smart as can be. In the under­
arm bag designed by Jenny which
the young modern pictured is carry­
ing, shiny black patent leather is
cleverly used to form wings of ruf­
fled and perforated patent. This bag
is roomy but compact and is styled
with all the "last word” improve­
ments. You will find it the perfect
complement for your new tailleur
and particularly chic carried with the
Bow-so-voguish black faille jacket
suits. By the way, the topknot that
surmounts the pretty head of the
young lady here posing is a very
new-fashion chapeau.
Newest wrist watches are square,
made of pink gold, set with dia­
monds and rubies and fastened with
a maroon wrist cord.
Necklines are on their way down
and down, almost to the waistline.
With this type of dress, comes a bra
to match. You can fasten the open
point high or low, as you wish. The
latest blouses have open-throat col­
lared necklines that may be adjusted
at will.

T'HERE have been changes in
recent years in garden prac­
tices that are worth reporting.
Gardeners formerly allowed vege­
tables to grow as large as possible.
This procedure gave a higher
yield in pounds, but very often it
lowered the quality of vegetables.
Some vegetables, of course, like
tomato, must be mature to be pal­
atable; but carrots, cucumbers,
beets, summer squash, turnips,
radishes, and others are more ten­
der and tasty when not much
more than half grown.
Gardeners are finding that it is
wise to plant oftener than once or
twice a year, to maintain a regu­
lar supply of proper-sized vege­
tables. Gardens prove more en­
joyable, and more profitable when
successive plantings of favorite
crops are made every two or thre«
weeks,
providing garden-fresh
vegetables for the table over ■
long season.
It is also true that few garden­
ers today save flower seeds. Fin«
flowers growing in the home gar­
den often are cross-pollinated by
others of the same species, mak­
ing flowers grown from their seed
inferior, and untrue.
