SPRING FASHIONS
SPELL SIMPLICITY

New York. April IA great many
of the stores are having their spring
openings now. and there are fashions
from Paris to show us what the
French are doing; fashions from the
Orient CHIEFLY in colorings and de-
signs is the Orient presently, and the
American fashions made from Ameri-
can materials There is one thing
noticeable in all the newest modes.
and that is the extreme simplicity,
even when there is great deal of
hand embroidery and braiding.
The overblouse is enjoying great
popularity, and can be seen in
every kind of costume, from sports
clothes to the most elaborate even
ing gowns. There are fascinating
slipover creations of Georgette crepe,
embroidered or beaded. with their
sashes (for they all have sashes)
slipped through slashes in the front
and back. One of these dainty &C.
cessories was of gray Georgette crepe
braided in gray soutache, with an un.
der dress of cloth of silver. The

or wolfe. The one illustrated here Is
extremely simple. the sleeves, collar
and vest being of flesh colored wolfe,
and the dress of quaint design In
black and white There is no trim
ming; no trimming is necessary. The
shaped tunic and plain jumper are
features of the mode.
Linen suits, Elton jackets, or more
tailored effects, are being shown a
great deal with organdie waists,
collars and cuffs, and even set in
strips of the organdie. The lines
are all straight and the effect very
plain. for the colors are bright, and
otherwise the result would be gaudy.
Vests of striped pique are very pop
ular. Sometimes there is high
collar of net, tide in a big bow in
the back, with a jabot falling in
graceful folds down the front. These
are worn with the silk sport suits,
as well as linen, pongee or wool.
There are hints as to the increasing
vogue for flannel suits and, especial
ly, separate skirts, but they will be
cut on very straight slim lines on
account of the conservation of all
wooden materials.
