Proving the versatility of the Wemco fabrics, there was a charm- ing afternoon frock in Wemco geogette, another pattern using the popular beige ground, this time for improbable tulips in demure pinks and blues. The noticeably high waist was in keeping with the spirit of the creation, while the skirt flared gracefully below the knees, in approved fashion. There were no sleeves.

More utilitarian in the way of afternoon attire was tha Wemco crepe-de-Chine in navy, with a con. ventional leaf design, in briek and salmon tones. An adeptly placed narrow collar, only in the front, a broad fitted belt over the hips and a tiered skirt were points of in- torest.
