White BroadcIoth On The Riviera
Undoubtedly there will be nun Der
Of white costumes. echoing the fashion
along the Riviera this spring. Tails
leurs ana topcoats have been seen
there in chalk white. ivory and cream
white broadcloth and silk tricot. With
these white tailored toys hats OF brill
liant coior-~emerald green. flag blue,
or corai-were worn and usually the
parasoI and handbag matched the hat
The white silk tricot and white broad
cloth costumes are beautiful. but i'm
practical and therefore extravagant.
The woman who has to count pennies
in her dress allowance had much bet
ter leave these dainty white clothes 20
Weather women and confine her
longing for white wearables TO linen
suits and frocks for summer time.
Linen Is tremendously fashionable
this year---as Palm Beach gave evil
dence--and you can be as white as
you please and as smart as you please
in a spotless white linen tailormade
or frock all summer long without
rushing into the expense OF white
broadcloth at Easter.
Picated Check skirts the Last Word
In Sport styles
Sport clothes are not a feature of
Atlantic City modes over the Easter
week end. and very few regulation
sport costumes are to be noted on
Easter Day. But good many people
stay on for week. or come a week
before Easter Sunday. and during the
week smart sport attire Is the thing
to wear out OF doors. The most stun
ming sport costume just now-again
referring to Riviera fashaons---is a
pleated skirt OF checked wool. worn
with belted coat of velvet. And the
coat may be OF flag blue with skirt
black and whIte--iike the sport ces-
tune pictured. Or you may wear a
| flame red coat with the black and
| white skirt II you prefer; or brown
| coat with skirt in cream and brown
! check. The skirt is very finely pleated
and hangs in straight. slim lines. An
| other picture shows a pleated skirt of
wool in large plaid pattern. but the
| skirt Is almost hidden under a top
coat of tan covert, smart topcoat
with the loose raglan sleeve and in
! verted pleats in its skirt giving the
new flaring silhouette.
| Frocks For Luncheon And Tea Hour
| An important feature of the Easter
weekend wardrobe Is frock for in
door wear. Luncheon and tea hour
at one OF the big hotels Is very

are concerned--and though you may
appear In tailored suit and hat. you
| will be much smarter In dainty

frock of gentian blue silk is embroid-
cred a la BeIgique with fine black
silk cord. There is very low waist
| line and sash Of pale gray ribbon.

an exceedingly captivating veil made
of fine embroidered net frifled all
around the edge OF the brlm. Frocks
