Perhaps is due to the beauty and novelty of the many light weight silk and wooden fabrics. Possibly due the unusualness of the spring blouse de signs. ..
 The blame may be laid at the of the fashionable sepa rate coat. But regardless of the responsibility skirts and especially sports skirts, dominate the spring fashions. We think the best for the popularity of these skirts
 is because the skirts themselves It that the
 of fashion decided for other to popular
 skirts So they put their best and most artistic efforts into their designing.
