THERE is no need for holi- day gowns for evening much this year. wear to cost Cotton has never been more at- tractive or less costly, and the new printed organdies or chiffons are most inexpensive. Set your wits to work and you will have some original clothes which will look deliciously cool and fresh for summery dances and dinners and will serve too for the cooler months of Octo- ber and November.

For the girl who likes a tailored effect, there is a very unusual over- dress that can be made from a remnant of white organdie over a black taffeta foundation; this would make an ideal dinner dress. A stiff little neckline and a row of but- tons adorning the front would be a good fod to four founces, of which you could form the skirt, and then a loose flounce on a trim tuck- ed sleeve would complete the effect. For the fashionable pseudo- Victorian gown you should choose

an elabofately printed organdie. A little-bodice made, to fit closely it can even be made separately from the skirt if you like; only in this case the latter must be mount-- ed on a very narrow band. Cross- way shoulder straps would keep the bodice in place and prevent the large puffed elbow sleeves from feeling as though they were slip- ping of. A coquettish little Red Riding Hood cape could be made in organdie to "match one of The colours in the floral sign of the frock. Such a cape is not diffealt to make and picot-edging would

solve the problem of raw edges. Surround the hood with three rows s of gauring and fasten it beneath

your chin, with an organdie, flower which is a replica of one on the dress..........

If you choose a thick striped cotton you can fashion a Own very modern, very sleek and very tailored. "See if you can get a ber- ring-bone effect down the seaus, as this adds to the smartness. You will need no back whatever and you can beautify the front merely by an enormous triangular, jabot gathered down the centre, with_the points sticking well and truly above each shoulder. One word of warn- ing: the woman with a short neck should have an ordinary neckline instead of a jabot.

The latest in hats is quite some- thing to talk about. Once more curls can be pulled out at the sides. so you can wear a hat with a real dip down the other side. You "might use several

of layers organdie over a buckram "shape and trim with black velvet flowers with yellow centres. Little South American, veiled hats are very popular and are particularly use ful for the woman with dark" bair and a sun-tan complexion. Over a white hat or toque is worna dark A brown veil with a white spot. pique cap may have a padded roll to take the place of the brim. A large felt hat shaped down over one eye is particularly attractive for a severely dressed head. A way of bringing it down in front is to make an inverted pleat trimmed with oversewing stitches and embroidered dart.
