THE MIRROR of FASHION

SPRING WELCOMES EARLY SUMMER WITH A MULTITUDE OF DAINTY FROCKS AND FABRICS

NEW DAINTINESS for EARLY SUMMER

f~yPRING gave promise of much loveliness in the world , \o/ frocks and furbelows, and summer more than confirms that promise with a wealth of such daintiness that it is difficult to refrain from extravagance. Everywhere one hears the outspoken thought—are lovelier than ever this season." Styles have altered little, but their simplicity is both a foil and an opportunity for the use of the new materials, among which are tinted and cross-barred organdies, foulards in all-over designs of beautifully blended colours, georgette crepe, cross-barred sponge cloth and voiles in many nczv disguises, all lending themselves to the slim lozv-zvaisted line, and floating unevenncss of skirt hem. Hand-embroidered frocks of French voile, in ecru, cream, and fawn, suggest a fashionable and serviceable toilette, when worn with a large graceful brimmed hat of fine black crinoline straw. Exquisite finishes are purchasable for washing frocks in sets of organdie collars and cuffs, white with shrimp pink, turret ted edge; self lattice borders or insets; flat self-material blossoms laid in contrasting colours, and dainty pleated and looped edgings all offering their various attractions, and proving a delightful asset to the summer girl who fashions her own garments.
