The introduction of black jersey in the bodice is in keeping with the present trend. This touch of black gives a sophisticated look to an otherwise airy, fairy Ingenue frock. The wing-sleeved bolero and the very full over-skirt effect are high- style details. This matter of sheer airy-fairy fabrics for the party dress carries all the way through the program of the "pretty” frocks fashion so defi­ nitely favored this season. Often yards and yards of billowy tulles or stiffened chiffon or thinnest of mar­ quisette go to make up the full skirt with its quaint little fitted bodice. A new vogue this season is that of enormous florals handpainted on either most diaphanous filmy white sheers or these flower paintings are done on white jersey likewise white sharkskin in dazzling color glory. Most of the new white dresses of rayon jersey (with a dull finish) or rayon crepe are made very simply. They are, however, given a look of distinction and importance by in­ triguing touches such as gold kid trimmings, gold or jeweled buttons, girdles with an enrichment of jewel embroidery. Watch buttons! They promise to be as important as jewelry in the evening mode, and are used con­ spicuously so as to cal] attention to their intricate design. Huge flower buttons add infinite charm to the otherwise all-white frock. Immense mother-of-pearl buttons are fashion highlights. Some of the pearl but­ tons are made up with a filigree design worked out in gold or silver. You can get buttons that snap on and off and thus change the entire aspect and color scheme at will.

This optical-illusion out­ fit comes in brown and blue, navy and white, also gray and white. A flaring brimmed hat and gauntlet gloves complete this outfit Women of assured fashion in­ tuition regard suits in black or brown, navy, or dark green linen as the best-looking costume of the season for town wear. These are meticulously tailored and are given charm and femininity via lovely white lingerie accents. One-piece dresses of non-wrinkle linen are very popular this sum­ mer. They are made with all the fine dressmaker details such as en­ hance chic models in crepe or thin wool. There are such highlight touches as braid trims, odd huge buttons and so on. The dress that looks like a suit, also princess types, are popular in linen.
