Summer Frocks

for the Mature Woman

The new costumes are just as flattering to matronly figures as the smart little dresses are to school girls

NETS, sheers, washablo crepes and the novelty cottons are being used to make smart costumes for matronly Agures.

The woman who chooses hor clothes from this summer's collec tion will find that they are as flat- tering to her figure as the trim" nautical-influenced frocks in the Junior Misses' departments are 10. pert little high school girls.

Gone are the days when the older woman couldn't find a thing that really aulted her type of figure. Her new costumes can have grace in every line and an unusual com- bination of dignity and chic. These days, a lady doesn't look ddwdy or carelessly turned-out simply because she's stepped out of the size 10 class once and for all.

The double and triple sheer Jac ket outfits are very practical.” Very, young matrons will like the long- aleeved Jackets that are worn over short-sleeved dresses, but the older woman doubtless will prefer long- alooved dresses with pockets that

are sleeveless. Either type Is flattering,AG

For sports, the matron wears frocks of washable silk or, she is a cotton lover, she'll follow the ex- ample set by the very young, and select her country clothes from the cotton department. Sho may like linen even better than the silks will appeal.

Necklines are an important con- sideration for larger figures. Plain V-shaped ones-are good and so pro saft cowl types. When it comes to selecting something to.. wear to ten, luncheon and bridge parties, the maturo figure is likely to select the latter. And, speaking. of costumes for semi-formal occa- slons, we'll add a word about the jackets. Most of them are longer than hip length, ranging from three-quarters to seven-eighths types

As for hats, this season's bonnete are just right for older women, The. wide-brimmed types and the little tricorn are charming with everything and flattering to mature. faces.

THIS STRIPED SPORTS dress in washable crepe is patterned after the ever-popular shirtwaist types,

but at the same time is soft- ened by the flaring sleeves and the V neckline that is rounded slightly outward.
