CHARM OF ORGANDIE
IDEAL FOR GARDEN PARTIES. Organdie has much in its favour from the point of view of economy. It washes well and can be ironed out to look quite fresh as soon as it gets the least bit crumbled. It is therefore an ideal material for garden party frocks. The sleeveless frock of black lace with a short, long-sleeved lace jacket is another of fashion’s fancies for the summer. On a slim woman such an outfit looks most elegant. Very new is the black lace cap, the very type of headgear to wear with a filmy black lace frock. One of these caps seen, at Ascot, says a Londoner, swathed the head quite closely, springing out into a fanlike drapery over the left ear. It was not transparent, by the way. It was mounted on silk. A transparent lace cap would have given more the effect of the caps they wore in grandmother’s day.
