 New York, Nov. 19.--Whilst Mad anne and mademoiselle New York squirm thruogh the jams of Christ mas shoppers, the fashion world which makes styles is concerning it. self about suitable clothes for spring time. Practically every clothing manufacturer is working upon raj ment for balmy days. Although they will not give decisive style ulti- matums as concerns the coming sea- son, they do lift the cover, so to speak, from the potpourri of colors, line, and fabric and give tantalizing little whiffs of what the feminine kind may expect.
 There is a whiff of color. The textile Color Card Association of America has issued it's spring colors These colors are very gay and ram bowy Orange-yellow combinations verging from lightest to medium shades are very good. These hues are named Honeydew, Shrimp, and Tangerine. Red-orange-yellow com binations continue in favor. There are three shades of these known as Tomato, Paprica, and Pimento. There are some wonderfully soft new dull greens and blues. There are reds ranging from the brilliant Folly to a maroon.
 Waist makers have selected from this chart five colors which they are featuring in the new blouses they are now making. The five are zinc, a medium gray; Honeydew; Porcelain, a blue like the china of that name j; Rattan, a yellow-tan; and Tomato. The blouses which are being develop ed in these shades continue the tunic or peplum line, and most of them are slip-overs. Some houses are en- deavoring to push back into populari- ty the flesh and white georgette bIouses. These are made with all the trimming concentrated upon the front, so that the waist may serve as a suit gilet. In fact, this fad of bedecking Milady's straight front is carried out in most of the blouses. Braiding, embroideries, soutache, tin sel, headings, or appliques trail their festive art across that sartorial ex- : panse, commonly known as the "gra- vy-dripping region"
  cauldron tells us that both afternoon and street dresses will be mainly made of blues, sand, and gray, in : contrast to the blouse realm of more garish hue Dresses will be fuller even a wee bouffant although the choker collar and basque remain "among those present." Slashed tunics over contrasting ofundations will reign supreme. Plaid taffetas in conservative colors, such as gray and blue, or brown and sand, will be heavily used. The waist line may cause a split in fashion circles. Some houses insist that it be normal; oth- : CTS say that it shall be below par and the great third party maintins that waistlines have been, are,and always shall be above par. Thus, of the making. of many waistlines there is no endi
 Eton jacket suits will gladden. the heart of flapper, while the loose ki- | oJ hot prNnhpSJad II all suits will tickle the round ma tron. Sleeves, 'tis mysteriously whispered about will be three-quarter length or slightly to the leeward of the funny bone. Many turnback are Haunted. One manufacturer was bold enough to give more that whiff of his dainties in store. It is of navy poiret twill, eton cut, kimo- na sleeves, turnback cuffs of paprica duvetyn and lapel embroideries Tn paprica floss and tinsel.
 Wool skirts, such as white serge, flannelette, or old fashioned flannel, are shown for the summer sports girl. Stitching runs rampant. A white flannel pleated skirt is finished with a foot-high banding of blue checker board stitching.
