FASHION LETTER
"*"~+ **s*~ .


New YORK, Mar. g. Every feature of
the fashion review points TO a gorge
Gus spring especially from the stand
point OF color. Dame fashion is doing
her best TO make gowns simple IN ef-
rect and in great many instances
she is succeeding beautifully, but frIlls
and furheloSs are also making a fight
for supremacy, and the question is re-
duclng itself largely to one of occasion
and personal taste
Tier skirts are gaining in favor and
one finds them on models for ordin-
ary street wear as well as upon dres-
! sier designs. Separate skirts TO be
worn with shirtwaists of silk, satin
or linen have the upper sections form
ed into tunics os almost every shape
a l length. There is demand taht
Is conservative as well as popular for
ehects that round away from the
front and lengthen To a point at the
back. Very tall women can have the
tnnic quite short at the front, but
! this has no analytical consideration
| Dy shorter women, especially if they
are inclined to be stout
| A great deal of attention is paid to
shoulder effects. The long dropping
line is graceful and the sleeves, wheth-
er elbow orwriSt length are as a rule,
OF the one-piece variety and close-fit-
tlng. Sleeves cut III one with the
English shoulder yoke are exceeding
ly smart. Seldom are they trimmed,
unless with a narrow frill at the wrist.
Much attention is paid, however to the
finish of the Seams. H. r,.
| We hear sol much about the tango
that 1t is getting gtiresome, yet what
else Is onehto talk about when new
modes are constantly being introduced
! In connectioHIwith the mach discussed
dance? Among the latest offerings In
the shops are'tango vests, tango belts
and tango handk srchiefs. These little
details are designed to give chic to
spring and summer costumes and
are TO be found in delightful shades
of red and blue.
! Nearly all combinations are called
by cubist or futurist titles, and they
are exceedingly effective
The latest of the checks arc called
cabaret checks, for what reason one
| Is ut a loss to explain except that they
are popular.
Blues or all artistic quality, and
browns are exeeptedly the leading cul-
ors OF the coming spring, and skirts of
