 Achieving Smartness with Two Yards
 of Material
 absolutely fetching. This is seen a great deal on hats-the brims, of course, and the crowns, too. Then there are patches of this quilting ef- feet on the tunics of skirts and other unusual places.
 Spring COlorings That Charm
 It is absolutely delightful on a cold snowy February day to stumble upon anything that will transport one, in the twinkling of an eye, to the fairy land of Spring. The shops on Fifth avenue are glowing with color-jon- quil yellow, apple green, dove gray as foil, the deep blue of the hyacinth. The sleeveless jacket, which seems to have struck new note in semi-sports clothes, may be of tawny copper or ruby red. Colored coats are being shown (and worn now at Palm Beach) with white flannel skirts. White serge, too, is to be much featured, and the straight -pleated skirt that may be easily laundered will be a favorite for tub materials. The knitted sweat CT of last year has given place to the sleeveless jacket or sweater of silk or wool. They are colorful, too, and are most becoming. Wool and silk jersey are being used great deal for this purpose.
 For the Old-Fashioned Girl
 If you are the type that looks well in old-fashioned costumes, now is your chance. You simply must have in your summer wardrobe an organdie dress that harks back to 1850 or so. The slightly full skirt and quaintly tight waist may be of one color, say robin's-egg blue, with kerchief or pleated ruffle of yellow around the neck. Gingham, too, is generally used for these dresses, a glorified gingham combined with organdie. Silk null has returned to favor, for it lends itself so charmingly to the clinging skirt of today.
 Indeed, the straight line is still the dominating factor of the mode. The skirts are marrow, waistlines change able, sleeves long and tight or short and puffy; collars, too, may be either worn high or low. This is the day of individuality, so choose your style and stick to it. You have the sanction of Dame Fashion herself.
 The Two Yard Dress =.
 Did you ever think it. possible for you to have a dress made from two yards of material? Sounds like magic, does it not? But the explanation is very simple, as explanations usually are. The government of the United States asked that wool be conserved so clever people set to work to see exactly how little material was neces- sary for a dress really smart and practical. The result is shown here made from two yards of fifty-four, inch material! Of course, the collar is extra, but it can either be made ot the same material, if more is provid ed. or a contrasting color. A dress oi this type can be made of wool, serge or gabardine or the heavier cotton ma terials. There is a pocket--a great concession you must admit-only or ) one side.
 About Shoes
 The question of the correct thing ii , footwear will be very interesting on, this year, for here, too, we must con l serve. Leather has become very prec } ious, and so there are whispers, ant even more than whispers, of higl } shoes with the tops of cloth. Of cours , this has been done before, but it wa ? a fad then; and now, why, it is a ne 5 cessity. Pumps and slippers with higl l spats will be in very good form fo I afternoon wear, and then, too, there i r the sports shoe of wash kid, buckskil or canvas. The all-white pump an,
