 A good recipe for wintry blues when the wind blows cold and the snow swirls down the canyon is to plan out a summer frock or suit There are more things to take into consideration in planning a wardrobe this spring than there were last, because last year at this time war had not yet been de clared and the conservation of raw ma terials was spoken of only in the in- ner circles" of the government.
 Designers are therefore taking into account first, the necessity of econO- mixing on material, avoiding needless waste, and producing the most grace ful and becoming lines with the least waste in cutting and second, the de- signing of models in which silken fab Tics can be worked up to the best ad- vantage.
 New WeaVes
 New weaveS and new cOlOrs are deS- ignated by new names that will be- come familiar as the season advances; while some old weaves and cOiOrS are appearing under a camOlflage.
 For cool suits for hot weather the raw silks such as khaki-kOOl will doubtless hold the popularity they at tained last summer. RoShanara crepe which has crinkled weave and Jap anese name. regalia, and Arab. which is somewhat heavier than regaiia- these are some of the fayOrite fabrics. They are washables. as is La JerZ. which was in great demand last sum mer.
 The seasons novelty is silk ging- ham. which initiates singham so closely in weave and cOlOrs used. that one will have to look twice at the ging- ham frccks of next summer.
