Style Notes of the
New Spring
Suits

Diversity Of styles characterize
the new Spring suits. The cut
away coat is still quite favOfite.
Some Of the never models are
cut sharply away in 'front.' while
the less extreme models will ap'
peal to more conservative tastes
The Russian blouse effect is
popular, and is shown in many
StteaetiVe notifications. II is
interesting to note the striking
and various effects produced ny
clever manipulation Of the
seams. The skirts show ORIENT
al oraping effect, sometimes
quite simple, at other times very
pronounced. Some skirts are cut
so seaut that slash in them
is necessary. Others have bunch
es Of pIeaEs. White skirts with
ceIored coats have abig success
prcphesed for them in the warm
weather.
Prices Ranging
