Glimpse of the Spring Styles
 ReUedls the Normal Waist Line
sy DOLLY DALRYHLu

creauonssshow the normal waist line. The skirts are still narrow-a little wider than those of the winter-but very little. All of the overdresses are wide and fluffy, and the tunics and draperies all carry out this idea
 "The styles are really most attractive Tor the coming season. MT. Levy con- tinued. and one especial feature of them is that they follow no particular period or time. Long sleeves are seen in nearly all of the smart gowns and while the 'choker' has struggled braveiy for recog- milton women have enjoyed wearing low necks so long that I don't believe they will ever go back to the high collars. Many of our blouses have reversible col lars. By that, I mean they may be but toned high or worn low, so that in either case the blouse is stylish
 What colors will predominate?" asked.
 Sand, putty, chartreuse and Belgium blue are the most popular" said MT. Levy, and the materials for the spring gowns are simply marvellous. They are all soft and effective and lend themselves beautifully to the tuntc and drapery eff fects. Georgette crapes, chiffon cloths, nets and fillets are especially good Flow CTS will be used the light summer gowns and ribbons and laces in great quantities The golf skirts that we are showing are very smart, made of colored and white or black corduroys. and with the kid belts and large pockets on the sides. Top coats in black and white are very stylish and while it is far from a black and white season. this combina- tion will be used quite bit, as it is all ways in good taste.''
 MT Levy spoke enthusiastically about Fashion Week., and said that in his opinion it would be the most successful display ever made in this city, or in the south.
