Attracted by their suggestion of coolness and service, the smart woman is purchasing one or more to add to her wardrobe for summer wear. They are not the gaudy and somewhat bizarre patterns of a few seasons ago. but resemble rather the dainty

or sprays of spiing blooms. There is nothing at all futuristic about them; on the contrary, they show a return to the simplicity of an earlier generation. One of the prettiest seen recently consisted of red flowers and green leaves upon a pale cream background. Crossed bands and imitation pockets of red linen (the predominant colour in the design) made an effective finish. Worn with a red hat the result was most pleasing and attractive. As cretonne launders so easily, the coats can be worn for picnic, beach, holiday, or street wear, and make ideal coverings to slip over sleeveless frocks when I evening breezes blow.
