by
RISP. cool, and collected-that's what you will suddenly find your- self to be if you make the most of the new mid-summer vogue for cottons and linens,
You can't deny their beauty. You won't deny their femininity. You should. a't deny their sheer appeal.

You will be quite captivated by the wide variety of these new materials. Printed cotton georgettes, diaphanous organdies and even sheerer ones called chiffon organdies, piques of all width wales, and with dots, stripes, designs and other effects as well, thirtings for sports, dotted Swiss for parties, Indian muslins, batistes, and linens from the sheerest of handkerchief to heavy suiting weights. All these, materials spread before your eyes a lot of remarkable opportunities for charm.
OF
course, one of the very nicest things about " these new frecks is that most of them wash and look grand afterwards. You know well what that means in summer.

I. COOL appealing and very practical is a green linen suit made with a box pleat or. Iwo in the skirt, a little loose jacket with pipings of white. and a white handkerchief linen blouse, its edges all piped in green of the suit.
With it, for a final touch, a oxfords in pastel green and white are quite correct and perfectly stunning. And, of course, you need a panama hat. This one is banded in two tones of green,, just to give a little touch of emphasis to the perfection of the matching greens of your.. whole outht.
II. IF the day is one of those where the ther
mometer scems not to have budged since noon heat the day before, a diaphanous little dotted Swiss will lower your own temperature definitely. One that has impeccable smartness comes in a lavender tone. It is a novel cut for a dotted Swiss, thereby gaining distinction. It is a little coat dress, wit' deep pleated flounces, and a deep cape col las, also pleated, that entirely dispenses with the necessity of a coat. No trimming does it take, nor does it need any. Big white pearl buttons, a white pearl buckle for its belt, and presta, you are ready for the day's onslaught.
You can have shoes that match in color this summer. They are very appealing. A pair of lov- ender kid pumps, with a smart little tailored bow, is quite in tune with the business-like severity of this frock's cut.
For a hat you can indulge in a little vanity,
since you've been so meticuleus in your correct attire. A lovely floppy hat of purple Milan straw and lavender organ- die is a confection every feminine woman will love.
III. SINCE you want at least one formal evening gown for those gala occasions when the Right Man asks you out to a formal dance with his friends, nothing could be a more admirable choice than a "crepe cot" gown. This new material is imported French cot- ton georgette, figured in rich and beautiful colors. An evening gown of crepe cot has red poppies against a rich cream background, the poppies donc in delicate traceries, big figured, fascinating, ar resting. The gown has a circular cut for its long skirt and for the little peplum jacket effect. Creamy white moite dancing flippers have delicate straps.
IV. SINCE all work or all business in summer is just too bad, you hald garb yourself for play and see if you can't find a tennis court or a golf course or some other welcoming haven to try out your prowess.
For lennis, one of the smartest dresses of the season is made of mercerized cotton, Colored ten- nis dresses are smart this year, but have you thought of having a white one, with colored trim ming? This one has a novel banding in mercerized cotton like the frock, only in several tones of pink, from coral to deep red. The color banding is the deepest tone and the little motif in front is not a jabat but a stitched-down decoration.
V WHEN you go week-ending, do take along
at least one captivating dinner dress. Per- haps an organdie, since they are to diaphanous, airy as the summer evening itself. A yellow organ- die that is quite ideal for such wear has a deep double-flounced long skirt with intricate shadow embroidered in net and a yoke and cap sleeves of the yellow net, too.
VI.
IF you plan to lunch with a few friends in a cool spot, one of the latest colton georgettes will be a tremendous success. A peach- colored one, made with a graceful double-tiered skirt and a cape collar all trimmed with peach flowers made of the georgette, is a lovely choice. It needs no further accessories, just a string of pearle or a gold chain.
Shoes to match this come in peach shantung, neat little ankle strap sandals that will be per- fectly okay if your lunch date turns into a shop. ping party, a matinee, or a bridge at the clu's.

tea is this peach colored cot- ton frock, trimmed with ap- pliqued flowers, and worn with peach shantung sandale.
