of course be guaranteed fast color,

Some of the new slips this year
show a novel flounce effect In pinch

curtains. In cretonne slips, pieces
of plain material may be inserted
for the pleats. - For largo pieces,
however, flounces are being omit

remedied this year because, surely,
there is no room In which coolness

and bedspreads. Side chairs are
being payly dressed upin covers
with sash ribbons attached at the
seat level and tied behind in a
piquant bow. And the most sum
