COTTON FROCKS.
Cotton dress fabrics have so improved of late that many are hardly recognised as cotton, and rank with more expensive materials. We have cotton voiles of finest texture, some pattern-
Ed delightfully in the modish printed style, and admirable imitations of Shantun and tussore silk, with the bright mercerised finish, and, thanks, too, to this same silky effect, the bet-ter-class printed satin bears a close resemblance to satin foulard. Striped and plain ginghams and the popular casement cloth are (says the Lady) durable and inexpensive for country and morning wear and these make up effectively with pipings and collar of self-colour in a deeper tint. The onepiece frock is still the favourite, but so many now fasten in front, and quite an outdoor touch is imparted to this type of frock by adding a basque.
