New Flyaway Skirt Rice is a Valuable Food

By PRUNELLA WOOD

Foxbrownis

PRETTY navy blue frock achieves its natural alliance with crisp white pique, by using it under flanges set at either side of the narrow'skirt. This la the now flyaway skirt, no-called, which is attractive as a novelty that does not betray an otherwise classic cut.

Those are flat pearl buttons rimmed with gilt ...which fasten the model, and both cuffs and the beret shown with the dress are made of white pique, like the skirt flange linings..

important foods for three- quarters of the world's popula- tion," I remarked.
