Tor tnl5 reason the Buspender
idea which has again sprung into
prominence with the awakening of
spring is sure to find favor. 1t Is
used frequently on skirts intended for
sports wear and is developed in many
modified forms. One type is here IL
lustrated. Tho material that frst
comes to mind when considering such
model as this Is linen. The skirt has
the knack OF looking intricate in It's
makeup, while in reality It is not so
difficult as you will see on examina-
ton. For instance, the front panel
and the side and back yoke are cut in
one. To the bottom Of the yoke the
rest OF the material forming the skirt
is Joined with slight fullness.
Every sports skirt boasts OF an In
teresting gIrdle. This one follows the
multitude and takes unto itself a one
piece arrangement with tabs. which
extend upward and downward. Be-
meath the lower tabs bias pieces Of
linen are stitched and drawn to tho
back through picoted slots. where they
disappear beneath the girdle.
Now, for the suspenders. Two pieces
of braid are used for them. knotted
and looped and slipped over the
square buttons fastened to the upper
tabs. The manner in which the sus-
penders are passed through slots in
the cowl collar serve TO unite tho
blouse. by the way. might bo fashion
cd OF organdie to match the color of
the skirt. Tho shaped piece In the
front, the collar and the odd cuifs
might be OF linen. The braid is knot
ted, looped and made into tasseis to
grace the buttons on the lower tabs.
At tho sides OF these tabs pockets are
inserted.
For Street Wear.
I'm positively shabby; haven't
thing to wear on the street and yet
thought I had SO many clothes" This
is the plant which almost every wom-
an is uttering at this time of year. The
nrst spring days fovnd her with win
Ter coat that drags on her shoulders,
or a frock too fussy for street wear.
Truly the hardest clothes to select are
those for the street. whether for shop
ping. TO and from business or Just
promenading.
There is a variety, however, in street
clothes, and as you select with view
TO the most use you are going to make
of the first spring street costume and
always with a conservative eye, you
will not have such hard time Of It.
FOR instance. you may have a smart
dress like that pictured Of serge and
satin or taffeta. A serge frock for
spring is only practical when 1t is
combined with silk to relieve tho
weight. The frock shown may be very
easily combined with silk, making the
inserted plain section, the cuffs. collar
and epaulets of silk and the rest of
the frock serge or by reversing the
combination Georgette crepe is also
being combined with serge to smart
advantage, but this combination is not
nearly so practical as taffeta of soft
weave.
More Of Pleats.
Everything shows pleats somewhere
this spring. and this frock is no e1cep-
tlon. The pleats supposedly run from
shoulder to hem at each side of a front
and back panel and are held in place
by the insert of plain material on the
skirt, which. by the way, helps to give
barreled effect to the silhouette. The
frock is built on chemise lines and is
girdled at will by sash of the silk.
The dress may slip on over tho head,
If an opening of few inches is left at
one side Of the front. The epaulet
shoulders arc distinct fashion fea-
ture. The full turnback cuffs are
mounted on silk undersleeve, which
is attached to the fuller cloth sleeve
just below the elbow. where 1t narrows
sufficiently.
A street suit of rather unusual lines
for the girl who has plain sports or
suit TO back her up is shown
on the figure with the umbrella. This
