The skirt is out with a yoke below which are wide tucks stitched down with' white Corti: celli stitching silk. Quite a new material is the double faced linen which will undoubtedly ar rive at the height of popularity during the summer and will be employed to evolve some very fetching gowns. Very little trimming is required on them as the reverse side of the linen will answer admirably for this purpose.
