prettiest ideas for cotton prints that!
ever bloomed in the spring—all set
for a summer of great popularity?
There’s something to perky and
young about 8716, with its choice of
low-cut. tailored collar finished with
a come-hither bow, and panels out
lined in braid, to call attention to
the supple slimness of your waist'
It’s simple and comfortable enough
to wear around the house, but it’a
much, much too pretty to spend all
it* time at home. Wear it to market
and for runabout, too
Make this of plaid or checked
ginkham, polka dot percale or plain
colored chambray, with bright He
rac braid.
Pattern No. 8716 is designed for
size* 12, 14, 16, 18 and 30
Pattern 8715—if you're expecting
a baby, of course you’ll simply live
in the smocx-top frock this summer,
making it up time and again. It’s by
all odds the most youthful. con
cealing and becoming thing you can
choose This one has a pleated top.
and an inverted pleat in the adjust
able skirt, for a more graceful line.
And to vary the monotony, we’ve
given you a choice of two different
necklines.
Using tliis same pattern (#715) you
can make some of your dresses with
square neckline, nnd some with a
soft, turnover collar and tie ends. It
' will look entirely different, and both
necklines Bre equally smart This is
' a style that makes up ''veil in every |
material—flat crepe, small figured:
