MAINTAINING THE
SUCCESSFUL MODES

Gowns and suits of many types are
included in the wide scope of spring
designs. The suit of taffeta or other
silk is feature in every collection of
spring apparel. and may succeed in
relegating the tailored suit of cloth to
morning wear. Then there are the
sports suits coming in for much con-

for occasions bid fair to keep the
. feminine world busy changing from
one thing to another But If variety
is the spice of life there will he no
lack of flavor to the coming summer
time.
Everyone wants silk suit, and silk
suits innumerable are being produced
to answer the demand for them,

above and feel secure as to it's beauty
and good style.
Although some of the models are
