Warm Weather Wear

CHIFFON frocks in the flower tints, those with an all-over printed borders are the fashion of the moment. The suppleness of the fabric makes possible the elaboration of ruffles, flounces, tiers, godets, jabots and capesall the fine details of the new and intricate mode. The smart coats of sheer crepes or of chiffon deserve special attention. Some have wide scarf collars, cleverly applied summer furs, fringes and tassels, novel hem effects and odd cuff treatments for their ornamentation. They add comparatively little weight to one’s apparel, yet give the finished appearance that is so very desirable.

Quite the latest newcomer to the ranks of sheer frocks is the model developed in pastel batiste, combined in some instances with lace or net. The most delicate of the pastels are the choice and there is a decided tendency to fullness at the hem in all the models. The coat made of two layers of georgette —in two shades of a colour or two contrasting colours—is new. .Sweaters join the ranks of sheer garments when they are knit in eye-let-stitch, and the skirts that go with them are of sheer crepe. White shoes have many perforations for coolness, and hats of horse-hair or some one of the opemvork straws complete the wardrobe designed for warm weather.
