HOT WEATHER WARDROBE READY
Julia
THE spring season wanes and fashion-minded
girls begin to think about late spring and early summor costumes that can be worn during the hot months.
This weather is getting a bit too warm for the spring suit that was just the right weight on Easter morning—it's almost time to hang it in the closet until October breezes blow again.
All right, then, let's look at the handsome outfita recommended as substitutes for your tweeds. It's going to be a very pleasant shopping tour, what with fashion designers doing their best to please each and every taste,
First of all, look for fabrics that are coal, but which have body and durability. That'é a pretty adequate fabric test for any costume, Remember that hot-weather dresses are called upon to withstand more hardships than winter frocks because they aren't covered up with conta and wraps,
There are luscious shears in three weights, double, triplo and plain ahcer. Those aro cool indeed. And the chiffons are definitely in the comfortable-for-summer category. Don't miss
them.
If you work in an office and like to wear dresses that can go in to tho tub, get washable olika or some of the new cottons. Eyelet batiste, dotted Swiss and many other novelty.
cottons will be good this year. Linen is a amart choice, too-though it doen wrinkle carlly.
Colours are important considerations in your campaign for coolness. Though black is pretty hot, its close kin, navy bluč la Iden!. You can have plain navy or, if you are one who likes printed materials, there are lovely navy blues printed with dimhutive dots and floral mollia.
Sponking of prints, they are very much in vogue and, in addition, combine two important- asseta. Firat, they're cool-liking and, second, they have the much-doaired casualness about them.
You can have a printed dress with elbow- length, puffed sleeves, or a sleeveless dress with matching jacket. Either or bath may be trimmed with crisp, white lingerie touches that are removable,
Accessories afford adequate opportunity to vary a wardrobe. On cloudy or rainy days you wear dark shoes, hat, gloves and purse with your navy blue, triple-sheed summer auft, and when the June sun is shining its brightest and hottest, try a Panama, washable white gloves, white purse and shoce,
The simple change will make you feel and look much, much cooler,
