Interesting panels, godets, contrasted tiers, jumper and skirt of opposite sides, colars, Searfs, bows and other details are to be found in this favourite material of the new season."

Some of the points of interest in the afternoon frecks are boleros. side drapes, bows, cape collars, cluser pleated skirts and tiered skirts, There in satin back crepe used on both sides are especially smurt in black, navy, green, rose, cadet blue, beige, grey and poppy| red,

The sports or tailored costumes also make use of this material. They, too, are designed along inter- esting lines and are frequently tucked to create interest. Skirts box-pleated or given animation by groupings or pleats are much seen, while blouses are tailored with stitching to relieve, a too severe simplicity. Navy blue, black, rose, green, grey and red are the most

prominent colours seen in this collection.

Mary Astor, whose youthful ap- peal is well exhibited in the First National picture, "The Sunset Der- by," wears several charming cos- tumes in this film. One, in two pieces, gives interesting details in the contrasted flat and glossy fin- ishes of the salin back crepe.

Linens have returned to a state of extreme popularity. These, with embroidery and braid, are used for many of the most interesting sum- mer frncies. They are seen in all the colours that mark 1927 as one of the colourful summer seasons. New in lines are the hand blocked designs. These are particularly effective in the lovely straight line frocks for sports, They create a particularly summery aspect in their flowered and figured designs

WEDDING FLOWERS.

The floral scheme is hardly less important than the frocks at the 1927 wedding, and the florist is consulted just as carefully as is the dressmaker. To him, very often, is left the choice of the flower that the bridesmaids will carry, especially if their frocks are of a colour that it la dificult to match with a flower shade. Bou- quets to tone with, say, blue or green dresses are generally chosen. with a view to an artistic contrast, and the colour of the frock is re- peated in the ribbon with which the flowers are tied.
