Simple Summer Dress Jean Peters is fond of the warm days and has a new summer formal dress, fashioned of white pique with white eyelet embroidery trim. Styled with a tight-fitting bodice, narrow shoulder straps and a full skirt, it is simplicity plus!

' owns. It has a scooped-out neckline, tiny puffed sleeves, a long full skirt and a tight waistband. A hidden zipper down the front makes it easy to get in and out of, and its practicality hits a high mark because it is washable. Likes Knitted Accessories Knitted scarves and gloves to match are an accessory note Jane Wyatt has accepted. She admits they’re not a new idea, but she believes they’re still smart—and warm. Miss Wyatt likes to wear bright scarves and gloves (or mittens) of yellow, rew. or royal blue to pep up dark winter suits. She knits most of them herself, and for strictly sportswear, she has added some knitted hoods attached to the scarves. Two-Piece Wool Suit Season smartness is found in Phyllis Thaxter’s new two-piece wool suit. It has an all blue form fitting, waist length jacket with buttons skipping up the front to a small collar. The back emphasises a crescent shaped yoke which slides into deep set sleeves. Blue and grey harlequin checks are used in the slim skirt. From hip pockets merge into a deep bias cuff which dips down in the back to form atail flange effect, Miss Thaxter wears the suit with all grey accessories. . . Evening Gown One of the loveliest evening gowns of the year is a white chiffon over nude crepe, made with fitted bodice, off-shoulder neckline, with a loose drape emphasising this line and a polonaise drape about the hips, balancing the back fullness in the floor-length skirt. .
