a firm hold on Parls and short skirts are definitely dated, but most women have outfits chosen their summer with an eye to moderation.
The most popular hem length just covers the calf and, while skirts are certainly full, there 38 a feeling for those which fall in supple folds, lightly held out over taffeta petticoats, rather than for the ultra wide, voluminous styles shown in the first spring collections.

Pour Le Sport
A black two-piece outßt is pleasing, with cyclamen-pink and black mer- cerised fringe round the lower edge of the jacket. A white summer evening dress owns to natural straw embroidery on the bodice.
Bodices in this house follow tight- Corselet lines for evening, the full skirts billowing out below in curved lines
to emphasise the hips. Formal evening dresses in mousseline, falllé, and taffeta have shimmering silver and strass embroideries upon the bodices. One model in bois-de-roSD has a showi-like bodies, falling in a deep point at the back and entirely embroidered.
Touch Of Velvet THIS pointed movement is also found in the backs of collars on summer coats, some in toile, others in wool fabrics, and all in white or light colours. A handsome white wrap for resort wear has a hood and voluminous sleeves something

A house noted for its sports- weur is Madeleine de Rauch, who this
Introduced season has really the New Look to sports clothes. Her skirts are fashioned with back fullness; her jackets are either loose boxy wraps or come trimly fitted with flat basque movements, while deep armholes, bordering upon veritable bat-wing sleeves, are characteristic of the pullovers worn. with many models.
Some of the prettiest linen frocks are those with heavy eyelet CML- broidery on the bodices, many using white on pastel-coloured fabrics. Others are embroidered with match- ing colour. There are certain relief effects achieved with white cord on white linen, one effective frack shown recently having a trellis design forming a corselct round the waist and anishing in Iitile tassels of frayed cord round the hipline.

'HAMLET ' STYLE
Palest Rosy Net Gown
Biel & Dialne
By PRUNELLA WOOD'
FORMAL gown both chic and ethereal matches a summer mood, but it lan't so casy to find. Designers tend toward dramatic cottons and bright prints for this seasonal need, re- serving their dreamiest models for opera entrances.
But here we have a frock made of not entirely, shirred bodice and frothing skirt, in a colour called nude (most un- pleasantly to this department's car) and which we prefer to call palest blush, rosy like a complexion powdering.
Two natural looking clusters of artificial carnations are polsed with beautiful balance in the design, one in front of the right shoulder, the other to the left, behind, where the decol- letage plunges nearly to the waistline.
