A cotton dress perfect for commut-
ing on a summer's day is a find. This
one should do a good job since It is
cool, comfortable and colorful. Made
with a pink chambray top, a neckband
of the same pink on black plaided
gingham as the skirt, ties in a crisp
bow at the V neckline, The skirt has
pockets on either side of the front ga-
thers of the skirt. Not shown, is a
short-sleeved bolero jacket to match
the skirt, which makes it so nice as a
commuter's costume.
