6698.—The present vogue for the new washable elastic, gathering thread is seen in this youthful style for formal afternoon wear. Shirring is cleverly designed to produce the extended shoulder line and contributes in no small degree to the flattering treatment of the bodice. The frock is finished with a skirt which flares widely from the hips. If your material be a summer silk the full length sleeve is smarter; if a wash ing material, use the three-quarter length sleeve finishing below the elbow. The pattern is available in 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 in. bust measure ments, at 1/1, post free. Material required for 36 in. bust is four yards of 36 in. material.
