S-erfully suggestive of springtirne is the
Creation sketched here The closely fit
ting turban shape is of violet satin
straw with up-turned brim covered
with violets- But the note which COM
pleteS this spring song is the diaphan-
GUS bow of violet maline which spreads
like butterfly wings high above the
crown.
The prettiest light suits for spring
wear all have a touch of black to trim
laem. This style of putting on bit of
black, making the new suits so strik
ing, is all due to the death of the late
king of England. The fashion centers,
court ladies are designed, were
plunged into mourning and had to
dress for the part. On that account
black, and later black and white, have
been good the past seasons, and now
that the required time of grief has
about expired, all of us who feel the
loss of the king so keenly, may wear
gay colored clothes, If only we adorn
them with patch of black here and
there. However, the black trimming
is good looking; so we mop up our
tears when we think OF his majesty,
and reflect that there is no great loss
without some small gain"
