FOUNDATIONS

CO, many girls are apt to attach *^ no particular Importance to the set of their underneath wear, with the result that they are puzzled as to the reason why their

frocks have not the right line

This summer will see us wearing two types of frock. The straight tailored-looking jumper suit, and the slim, rather severe silk dress which depends on hand-embroidery for its smartness, are m one class, and the fluffy frivolous afternoon frock of chiffon, French voile, georgette, or crepe de chine, m another.

If you are the tailor-made type you will naturally adopt the first style, so see that undies are made on similar lines.

Well -CUt bloomers that will not add to bulk or give unnecessary fullness, narrow petticoats, preferably slit at one side, and a brassiere are the correct foundations for the slim frock.

If, on the other hand, the billowy full-skirted frock suits your style, then your undies can be as ornamental and as frilly as you please.

Therefore, see that they are frilly, for made so they will emphasize the effect of your top frills which is, as it should be.

Incidentally, take special pains to see that your hat and shoes are m perfect agreement with your dress.

This advice should be superfluous, but we give it because of the numerous pretty frocks that have been spoiled by the addition of the wrong accessories.
