Hopefully you turn out, from the back of a wardrobe or the bottom of a box, those prints and linens and voiles which were so fresh and dainty last summer, or the summer before, or even the summer before that. Perhaps two or three of the more recent will pass your critical inspection and face the new season, crisply pretending to belong to 1938.

But the rest? Ginghams, linens, piqué voiles, won't wear out. If only one could manage to tear them or spill ink on them at the end of a season, and thus have an excuse for discarding them! Sighing, you'll probably use them for house-frocks, coveting meanwhile the dainty new styles in house-coats, tub frocks and play suits.
