Afternoon frock.—lf you need a frock which is sufficiently “dressy” to be worn upon any special daytime occasion, the style illustrated will appeal to you. It is a replica of the latest design from New York. The draped square-cut yoke is unusual, as also is the arrangement of the front swathe. The skirt has a suggestion of “swing.” The material is a mid-weight silk-and-wool mixture in burgundy shade, but any plain colour would look equally well.
