ries in. various phases Piquetine, Piquette,
Cordine, Poiret Twill and Tricotine are

in black and navy blue. Krepe Knit, Can
ton Crepe, Spongeen, Creponge, are artfully
modeled into cape suits of jaunty charm.
The three-piece suit, usually consisting of
blouse-and-skirt frock' and cape, has
brought the suit out of the work-a-day
street wear rut and made it the popular
costume for 'afternoon parties and daytime
affairs of all kinds.
Spring Millinery
Hats show a tendency to wide brims and
pattern hats from Milgrim, Hyland, Lich
tensticn and Bruck-Weiss are ornamented
on brims and crowns with artistic trim
ming of ribbon, embroidery, yarn, wings,
burnt goose and flowers. No shade found
among the suits and dresses but can be per
fectly matched in a becoming hat.

plain, in wrapped or pleated styles; new'
sport fabrics are used to make,- some of
them. They are particularly suited to early
spring wear. Pockets and belts, buttons and
fringe, featured on the new separate skirts.

rate skirts, are shown in thread silk, fibre

spring -styles including popular slip-over
style and Tuxedo models.
The Spring Frocks
Jewel cut beads, side panels, tunics and
new sleeve whims distinguish tbe frocks.
Sport dresses run rather to Krepe Knit and
variations of the ltatine weaves in silk.
Cape frocks lead the street costumes. Aft
ernoon and evening dresses still cling to
beads,' which have taken a new lease on
life through the jewel and novelty cuttings
prescribed by the season's designers. Cob
web, Gaylardia, Javanese, Ladybird, Corn
flower and Jade are among the new shades
chosen to lead the spring color revue.
To Complete the
Spring Costume
v
Beauty, the predominant characteristic of
spring, is embodied in every line of the cos
tumes in this display, and the accessories
shown are fully worthy of their mission to
complete these wonderful costumes.
Gloves In novelty styles, contrasting col
ors of kid or fabric, are designed to accen
tuate the shapeliness of the hand.
Hair Ornaments Set with brilliants in ar
tistic designs, are shown in colors which
bring out every little tone of gold in the
hair. .
Neckwear In fine imported lace, net and
embroidery, affords charming complement
for the frock, suit or sweater.
Girdles To complete the loosely hung
frock, are shown in jet and jade, some
times combined with green gold or silver.
Hosiery Purest thread silk is used to
make them, and they, have clocks of em
broidery or lace.
Shoes The new pumps -seem to be flirting
with patent leather, and wide flat heels are
noticeable. Novelty effects in two-tone
leathers are attracting attention. '
The Spring Wraps
The spring wrap prefers to be a cape, but
when it -happens to be a coat it talks back
to the cape vogue by heaping all the trim
ming upon the sleeves. Soft fabrics like
Marvella, Orlanda and Gerona are particu
larly charming whether plain or trimmed,
and make wraps seasonably light in weight,
yet luxurious in appearance. Where Can
ton Crepe and Faille is used for wraps, lin
ings are of silk duvetyne, that the garment
may give proper protection against sharp
spring winds.

the sensitive miss who must look her best
to be happy. Frocks and coats of surpris
ing beauty arc shown just for her benefit.

spring tailleur. They have been the sub
ject of increasing thought among designers,
and now they have reached tbe position of
importance long held unquestioned by the
silk frock. Canton Crepe and Crepe de
Chines are combined with hand made laces
in. Filet and" Irish combinations. Other
models show Venice or Rose Point trim
mings. For wear with the new tweed

and batiste, attractively trimmed with filet
lace.
