VNMISTAKABLE signs betokening
the passing Of winter and the ap-
~ proach Of spring are herel They
can be seen in any downtown shop win
dow. Straw hats, silk and lingerie
gowns, light footwear and long list
Of other things that 90 to make q
spring spring-like and q summer sum
mary.
Looking at the new styles and con.
siGering the possibility Of Transforming
lasE summer 8 clinging and sparingly-
made gown into replica Of the crisp,
bell-skirted, high.necked and full,sleey-
ed models displayed, the study develops
into something Of an unsolvabie puzzle
There is q subtle eoquetry about the
new hats that is quite alluring. They
are 20 small, 70 round, SO perky, worn,
ne they should be, cooked over one eye
that they are bound TO give vivacious
sophisticated air TO the mildest wearer,
Some Of them suggest the jauDty cap Of
the Scotch Highlanders; others the
round cap of the British Tommy At
kins, still others the Hungarian toque
The large picture hat is placed op
the shelf for Dame Fashion, who pays
slight heed 10 convenience OF economy
Is always sure that there is an affinity

which they exist. Just now the mill
tary dash has crept into feminine wear
ing apparel, colors, with the exception
OF the new sea blue and army red, Civ
ing place TO the tragically significant
black and white.
Shiny black shoes, cleaning white
CATERS, black cloth suit with white
waistcOat and white collar, a black hat
with white crown, and a black vel

be seen today in all the larger cities.
The bcl-shaped skirts are short, re
vealing every inch of the white spats
The shoulders are narrow, the head
small, the hat worn well forward and "a
one side, the hair being drawn straight
and close back over the ears, the cubists
probably drawing the modern woman
as q pyramid.
