DESIGNS FOR LATE SUMMER; ALLURING CHIFFON FROCKS

THE two-piece mode —youthful and practical as It la, has taken the world of fashion by storm/lt Is as popular as bobbed hair mo almost da varied as millinery. All that designers have to do, to maintain interest In the two-piece frock until the end of summer, is to think up new tricks of decoration or unusual and beautiful color management or novel fabric combinations. In the altogether charming twopiece drees shown here, the note of novelty appears In the combination of printed crepe and cut-out linen. In which'the dress portion Is made of the figured crepe with bandings of

plain crepe. Tbe printed alike adds one more to tbe myriad dotted patterns, in dots that ear; In shades of one color and are arranged in a plaid pattern with some of the dots centered by smaller ones. The skirt has four wide plaits across the front and two at each side, and the plain crepe handing Is In the color of the dot. There are many color combinations that would be attractive In this dress, as grey, green, blue or red dots on a white ground. The banding at the top of the plaits Is novel and has the effect of shortening the skirt. The linen jacket Is bound at the bottom with the dotted crepe and has a belt of It across the back. The collar and

cults combine dotted and plain crepe and the novel tie Is made of cord covered with the plain crepe. Down each side of the pockets are small pearl buttons, set close together and the front of the Jacket has a narrow binding of plain crepe. Thlg pretty frock has more than novelty to recommend It for It Is an elegant affair. In every way chic and dainty. This effect might be ruined by the wrong choice In footwear, but it Is enhanced by white allk hose and white kid slippers

of fashionable cut. They make a footwear outfit that proves unexcelled with summer frocks. Now that midsummer Is here, the fluttering type of frock grows popular, with cape backs, wings, scarfs, panels, sashes and tiers coquetting with every little vagrant breeze that blows. In colors green, white and black combinations and all white are the coolest looking, but even In red the sheer fabrics worn look cool and many cbanel red frocks In georgette are shown for late summer. When the talk Is of chiffon frocks It la to be taken for granted tbat It Includes those made of gaor-

gette. since these exquisite, twinslater fabrics are so much alike that what Is said about one la true of the other. Uldsurnmer brings them Into full-bloom in gowns that float through afternoons and evenings and are as decorative as flowers. There la a erase for delicate materials and dark, plain colors In tailored styles, or light colors In sports styles are liable to be encountered at any time of day when hot weather arrives. Just one more of those pretty, printed chiffon. frocks that prove so flattering to their wearers has had Its picture made for the benefit of those who wish to liven up. their wardrobes with something new for mid-

summer. One glance shows its fitness fur whatever the afternoon or evening may bring to pass in the way of entertainment. These Joyous printed patterns In georgette or chiffon rarely employ trimming, but occasionally a plain color, matching some color In the printed pattern, Is used In bandings and sometimes a little lace is adroitly Introduced In their construction. Quite a number of models Incorporate the cape and Its modifications, as a part of the ensemble, and often it Is cleverly managed to partly cover the arms. In the gown pictured the debonulre cavalier cape Is detachable and has flat ties made of the chiffon. The frock has a long bodice and a full rippled skirt. . Its new feature la the wide, crushed girdlejalso made of the chiffon and fastening at the left side. Comparatively few frocks are shortsleeved, but wing treatments and capes that extend over the arms and terminate at the sides of the bodice are rivals of the long-sleeved modes. Many neck lines are “V" shaped and very new collars are convertible—that Iff, they are high at the back and form revers when open at the front But they are edged with a narrow flat fold that Is extended Into long tie ends, so they may be turned up about the Ihroat with the ties wound once about the neck. i - JULIA BOTTOMLEY. list, WMttfD Nowapapor Union.)
