American women are noted for their smart, clothes, and even down to .simple cotton frocks their flair for style is obvious. Winnie Mae is a well-kuowu American designer of smart tub frocks, and Anna Guy is showing a lovely selection, colourful and g-ay, and none over 25/-. A charming Winnie Alue frock is white organdie, with spaced stripes of blue, red and yellow, and an overprint of field flowers, finished with a demure while organdie collar. Another Winnie Alae frock is parcale with inch checks in blue, red and white. The swing skirt is cut on the cross with a straight little bodice and a yoke and circular pockets on the cross. Another style is a gailyflowered chintz, with elastic guaging round the waist, finished with a narrow red riblxm bolt tied in a flat bow. Navy and white spots), combined with panels of plain navy, is very smart. Anna Gay, 3-1 A.lannors St.—Advt.
