when grown in greenhouses? The
common garden varieties, grown
out of doors in warm climates,
keep their blossoms fresh until
picked. In mid-winter when they
bring the highest prices the sweet
scented white blossoms often fall
from their stems, before they can
be shipped from the greenhouses.

Important for early summer
dresses are embroidered or ap-
plique trims in dull or vibrant col-
ors. Tiny red, turquoise and green
stitching form stripes on Paquin's
latest crepe dress from yoke to
hem. The sleeves are trimmed with
the same smart detail. Two drapes
from the shoulders disappear into
slots and reappear at the yoke
where the stitching begins.

collarlegs neck and on the border of
the wide sash which ties at the
waist, Spanish style.
Here you have illustrated the coat
classic that is a favorite type this
season. White smooth wool velour
is the handsome cloaking that fash-
ions it. You will find that it slips
over sports or dressy frocks with
equal charm. This style is ever so
good-looking in the new beige, wheat-
tone, copper or mustard wools, to
wear over black or navy dresses.
Of course you know by this time
that no wardrobe is complete this
season that does not include a sep-
arate coat that makes high-quality
wool weave and classic simplicity

you to the charming fashions pic-
tured.
The ensemble shown to the left
makes a costume ideal to wear now
and throughout the summer where-
ever daytime activities may take
you.* Lustrous, transparent black
Swiss organdie makes a tiny sep-
arate bolero and over skirt that but-
tons at a wide waistband over a
softly draped frock of Swiss voile,
embroidered in a trailing vine pat-
tern in bright red to complete a
charming costume of tailored but
feminine charm. You could wear
the black bolero and skirt over other
light dresses.
A most unusual print design adds
to the interest of the party frock
for a young girl, as you see cen-
tered in the picture. The Swiss or-
gandie that fashions it has large
white flowers imprinted against a
background of tiny flowers in bril-
liant shades of rose against a navy
blue background. The crush sash
is of deep rose taffeta, tying in a
youthful bow at the back. The shoul-
der corsage is a . single huge pink
and rose shaded taffeta flower.
. A dainty frock for a dainty miss is
the fitted and flared party dress to
the right. It ie of clear white Swiss'
organdie with pin dots of deep blue.
The grosgrain ribbon bows at the
puffed sleeves and down the front
repeat the deep blue accent.
The wide range of organdie types
brought out this season will both
amaze and delight you. Many new
print ideas give fresh appeal to or-
gandies. Mentioning only a few,
th«re is a print design of little white
plumes scattered over a pink ground
you’ll love. A small spaced paisley
motif in deep rich colors on white is
very attractive^ Perhaps the most
notable of all are the chiffon or-
gandies in pastel color shadow print-
ed in white, navy or black in a very
exquisite and realistic lace pattern-
ing with floral motifs scattered over
the background.

Curtis Keyes discovered garde-
nias work in two shifts. Like oth-
er workers they gather food in
daylight hours, but when night
falls the glamorous gardenia be-
gins to grow.' Daylight is the sig-
nal for the shift back to the food-
making_ process, when the plant
gathers' sunshine, moisture and
carbon dioxide to make starch.
Night temperatures in green-
houses must be reduced to 58 or
60 degrees for the hard-working
gardenia. The usual high temper-
atures of 80 and 90 degrees cause
the blossoms to wilt and drop
from the stem.
In America and Europe the
plant is grown only for its beauti-
ful white flowers and for perfume.
In China and Japan one species
of gardenia is raised for its large
orange fruit. This fruit is used
for a yellow dye to color silk. In
the East Indies another variety
produces a valuable gum.

CINE sheer cottons are outstand-
1 tag in the season's smartest fab-
rics. It is not only that our pret-
tiest eventag clothes are being fash-
ioned of most intriguing washable
sheers, but the highly significant
style message is that our daytime
suits and ensembles with jacket or
cape, whether strictly tailored or
softly styled, are subscribing whole-
heartedly to the vogue for handsome,
flattering sheers.*
Current displays of fine Swiss cot-
tons are making a marvelous show-
ing of beautiful and versatile
weaves that have an elegance and
tone you never would dream could
be in simple wash fabrics. The
new thin voiles, both monotones and
embroidered, are lovely enough to
attend any garden party, any mid-
summer night dance, any com-
mencement day exercises, any wed-
ding reception, for the bride herself
to wear for that matter, and her at-
tendant. There are also sKeeF
cotton nets and laces and diapha-
nous weaves so versatile You will
want them all well represented in
your summer wardrobe.
The biggest appeal of all, how-
ever, that tugs at your heart, your
mind and, we were going to say
your pocketbook, but the latter
would not be true of these lovely
Swiss organdies, is that as beautiful
as these crisp, cool sheers are,
they come within a price that .even
a modest budget can afford.
Call it charm, allure, or glamor,
it's yours and no mistake, when you
wear a daytime dress or costume
ensemble or an evening gown of ex-
quisitely sheer, crisp and colorful
organdie. To justify our enthusiasm
and to prove our point we refer

THESE borders you will find
1 easy to make. All six strands of
six-strand mercerized embroidery
thread are used. Crease 1% inch
hems first. Draw threads of the
material to make straight guide
lines for the embroidery. Sew the
hems by hand after the embroid-
ery is done.
The top border is royal blue and
turkey red. To make the straight
lines at the sides, couch blue
thread in place with red as at A.
The loop-stitches along the edge
are made as at B. The vertical
loops are red and the smaller hori-
zontal loops blue. The fish-bone
stitch in the center is made in red
as at C.
The lower border is light yellow
and orange. The edge lines are.
yellow, couched in place with or-
ange. The alternating groups of
yellow and orange ray stitches
along the edge are made as at D.

spaced yellow stitches in double
thread as at E, then weave orange
thread through them as at F.
