Never was there such a go-as-you-please summer with respect to good form in costuming. I[t is impossible to lay down a fixed law and say '"Ihis shalt thou wear and none other' because no sooner are the words spoken than a host of exceptions as multitudinous as those in Russian grammar spring up. One may say for instance, that the silheuette is slender, that it follows the lines of the body and accentuates a small head, while the cloche hat has a_ beehive crown and an all-but imperceptible brim. Turbans, too, are in favour, The ankle length skirt adds to the willowy effect.
In the next breath the Woman Who Knows will be quoting with equal truth Jenny's dictum that fulness is coming back to the hips, as_ illustrated in some of her models which show a- tunic' effect placed only at the front and flaring cut over the hips. Then in summer frocks the bouffant vogue seems predominant in the thinest of them, the sheer dotted Swisses frankly gathered at the waist and puffing out into the. old-fashioned "cheese" at. the ankles, or the organdies befrilled to balloonlike proportions, Their lightness and airiness gives an effect of coolness which is very fetching.
