New Spring Foulards
AS rich as brocades are the foulards
being made up for Palm Beach and other
southern wear during the early months.
a charming model in gray-green foulard
is illustrated here, the bodice having a
trimming Of silver embroidered banding
over green satin and the little yoke being
OF silver net over green chiffon. The
green cord ornament across the bust
suggests the Egyptian winged hawk
motif.
Simplicity of Line
Early Spring models in tailored wear
show simplicity of line together with
elaboration of decoration On the grace
full suit of dead rose broadcloth in the
picture the braiding of soustache does
not at all interfere with the elegant sim
'plicity of line.
Very bride-like is the dainty frocl,
of white satin meteor, with draped bo
dice and overskirt in graceful effect as
shown in the illustration. The feature
of the little dress is the white lace
scarf, draped over the shoulders in fchr
effect and, confined at the waist under
pearl clasp, falling in sash ends over
