No. 6819 By Maude Hall, "Tell me the material of your frock and I will foretell its fate in fashion- dom," says a noted Paris coutouriere, And here is the entire situation in a nutshell. Fabrics, as well as line, have much to do with styles of the moment. Any material. that does not lend itself to extensive manipu- lation will not be placed in the race for fashion supremacy. Fine ma- terials are essential, and these are shown in such variety that all tastes --as8 well as all purses--can be suit- ed One cannot go far astray in select- ing any of the following materials for summer frocks: Chiffon cloth, cotton voile, crepe Georgette, organ- dy, batiste, mull, all over lace and crepe. There are so many variants of crepe de chine that to describe them all would be a physical as well as a mental impossibility. In these days of efficiency and courtesy, how- ever, a simple request will bring to the counter in front of you all the No. 6788 treasures of the stock shelves there- fore, ask boldly that ye may be shown. Colors, too, are quite as important as materials. One sees more gray this summer than has been observed in many years. It is made into ge- lightfully youthful frocks and har- monizes with almost any of the pre- vailing bright shades, Gray is never prettier, however, than when used alone. Take, for example, a frock in gray chiffon cloth built over char- meuse satin. The bodice is fashion- ed in fichu effect, the adjustment be- ing effected outside of the high-waist- ed gathered skirt. Tiny bands of tucked gray satin outline the front and the large armholes and appear again above the gathered lower edge of the bodice The sleeves are frills of accordion plaited chiffon cloth-- nothing -more. e skirts tunie would be guiltless of points or curves, undraped. But, taking on the form the back and front free to fall in panel effect. The tucked satin band entirely outlines the tunic. Fabrics come and fabrics go, but cotton voile never outlasts its wel- come. It is one of the most service- able of materials at tiié service of the home dressmaker, because it dupli- cates perhaps most successfully the choicest patterns of more costly fab- rics. The polka dotted voiles offer many novelties in coloring and are lovely trimmed with taffeta or satin in corresponding shade with dots. For informal wear a voile of this kind made with a full skirt and simple bodice with vest of white organdy, revers of white and belt and collar of taffeta is exceedingly smart. English embroidery is employed ex- tensively this season in the develop- ment of overblouses and as a trim- ming for the blouses that are worn with so many tub frocks.

A ruffle of net about the neck and puffed sleeves, with drooping shoulder lines are the principal features of these little dresses.
