A NEW PARTY FROCK,
Such a frock as the one pictured
here is at once delightfully girlish and
an exceient choice for party wear. It
is a demure model, and may be of
crepe de chine or georgette crepe. It
has a round neck and the scalloped
bertha falls becomingly over the
sleeveless bodice. The scallops are re-

to the straight bodice, and ribbon in deeds. asked.

Shakespeare was usually just in his

he did not always ring so true.
