Shoulder straps may be at- tached to the upper edge of the re- moval jumper and buttoned to the straight narrow belt. Lavender is evidently to be a spring favorite, for there are wonder- ful pew frocks in lavender gingham, voile, etc. A model that is smart, yet very simple, fastens at the left side of the front under a box plait.
