b MARGARET RoHE.

It's Just the little things In life
That make for joy or make for strife
And so small touches here and there
Can make mar the things we wear.
A perfect tciieite. by Il hat
Can be quiie spoiled and rendered flat.
It can be blasted by boot
Or cen n hankie for the snoot.
So choose small things with greatest care
II you'd LOOK right in what you wear.
New York; April 19.-Spring is
here! Noses are necessarily demand
ing and receiving much attention
these days You might say they are
again or still in the running. Conse
quently the handkerchief as a dis
tinctive adjunct Of the smart new cos
tunes are not TO be sneezed at. They
are decidedly smart and up to sartorial
stuff this season. Color is their key
note. The white hankie, pure and
chaste, is reserved for formal dress
occasions only. For all other blow
outs the tinted effects are being held
up to all the very best noses, retrousee,
Grecian, Hebraic or Roman.
Delicate pastel shades are most pop
ular this spring, rather than the more
violent tones of last season. The sheer
linen and lawn squares are either in
an ill-oVer solid tint or bordered in a
contrasting color. Great care must be
exercised in matching up these tinted
hankies with your prevailing costume,
color scheme and complexion.
Quaint embroidered motifs. a basket
of fruit. a gaudy butterfly, winging
bird tiny garland effectively bright
ems one corner. unless an artistic and
highly colored monogram has place
on said corners.
The tri-color touches are much in
evidence in the best mouchoir make
ups, especially in the embroidered mo-
tits and Uniting the tiny rolled hens.
You can get your tri-color effect quite
as periodically with a two, toned
handkerchief Of blue and white, pro-

these vacillating days.
From nose to toes is some sheer
drop These terms are typically de-
scriptiye of the new spring hosiery.
Sheer is the word to best portray their
unutterable diaphanousness, over
which drop stitch stripes run up and
down and round and round in reck-
less abandon. With low black shoes,
white, taupe, beige and black and
white striped effects are worn, as well
as the openwork and drop stitch
striped hose of plain thin black. With
the tan. beige and gray suede oxfords
and pumps, the hosiery is all perfectly
matched up. Even in the tinted stock
ings however, the drop stitching and
peek-a-boo effects prevail. This is in
deed an open season for hosiery. even
if all the lace work is going to ruin an
erstwhile perfectly good cache for the
powder puff and bank roll. To the
ubiquitous summer mosquito this open
lace work makes a prodigal promise of
much fatted calf
Thev very delicate openwork that de-
mands we shoe the mosquito. demands
also that we shoe the foot as well.
Like their human prototypes, the best
shoe vamps will continue to be long,
svelte and sinuous-sort of Thedabara-
ish, as 1t were. If we must vamp,~ we
must go the limit and keep always to
the point The short chunky vamps
of the Partisan bonlevards. we will
have none Of We continue to toe the
fashionable mark long and acutely
and the footprints we are leaving upon
the sartorial sands are certainly some
feat
Oxfords with Cuban heels in tan or
black kid, either dull orspatent,t are
smartest for walking and tailored
needs, but when you would put the
best foot foremost you must do so In
smart French heeled pumps of black
patent kid or satin, gray or beige
suede, fairly glittering with huge
buckles OF cut and polished steel or
cleaning silver Ornate buckles of
rhinestones and brillians enhance the
long pointed charms of the satin and
metallic cloth slippers for evening
