geous. The ready-to-wear department Is
| featuring an exclusive line Of new fabrics
| in suits, separate coats, and spring hats

Shetland silk-and-wool. wool jersey, and
the soft new material known as "Yo
San" The colors are mainly shades ol
green, mustard, and rose, and the coats
are cut knee-length with large sailor
! collars and cuffs Of a contrasting color
and a loose belt or sash.
Goldenberg's is displaying three spe-
cial models in tailored suits which are
quite distinct from the prevailing mode
in ready-to-wear apparel. One suit
known as the Town suit" is of fine
poplin made on severe lines with stifi
little tailored buttons ornamenting the
| back and sides of the coat. The skirt
is jauntily full and short and a collar
Of white pique completes a trig costume
for spring street wear. Another model
called THE Wanderer." Is OF Poiret twill.
fabric that resembles ultra fine ga
bardine. The entire jacket is pleated
and belted with a narrow band Of the
material embroidered in a contrasting
shade. The large sailor collar shows
the same embroidered design. The third
model, also In Poiret twill. is known
as ''Sashette," deriving its title from a
graceful sash of the material which con-
fines the fuIlness Of the rather long coat,
terminating with a loop and ends at
the side or directly in the front, as the
wearer chooses.
The one-piece frocks at Goldenberg's
are worked out in taffetas and Georgette
for afternoon wear, and in silk jerseys
crepe de chimes, and shantung silks for
sport. Many of the latest models are
fashioned from crepee, the new fabric
which vastly resembles Georgette crepe
but shows a silken stripe in the weave
and renders it more durable and less
transparent.
A number of the sport costumes are
made from white crepee combined with
black, mustard, rose and Shadow Lawn
green. Plaid silks are also very good
for trimming the white sport suits and
are much used on collars cuffs, pockets
Ind around the hem of the skirts. Gold
