The Spring CoIors.
BY ANNE RITTENHOl Sc.

From tobacco to banana is co,or
gamut that possesses strong fascinl-
tion for those who determine what
we are to wear There are women
who fervently object to either shade
and all between. They have had a
difficult time this last year avoiding
what was the obvious fashion.
Now they are faced with the fact
that all these tan and brown tints are
to be continued in fashion despite the
feeling that tobacco and seal b.own
make one look warmer even than they
are an obvious mistake in this partly
torrid American summer climate.
No such criticism can be made
against banana vel ow or any of the
tan tints. They are too neutral TO be
provoking. They permit of eisny con-

growing fashion of wearing country
clothes on the streets Of big cities
throughout the day.
Those who live in great centers like
New York are devoutly thankful for
any diversion from the mass Of over
dressed women who throng the mar
ket places in the day. They rather
like the idea of being sober and
workaday. whatever the apparel me-
dunn through which the busy life Of
city is expressed.
The homespun suit with the stitch
ed hat is far better costume for the
woman who works for her living be-

woman who is driving through a long
shopping list than the wrapped satin
cape. the fringed skirt just hiding the
knees, the gray silk stockings and
gray suede pumps with straps. pieces

town during the hours when the

clothes in the streets is an unsolved
American social problem.
DOSSIBLY there is a rebellion by the
conservative part Of communities
a feeling that this foolishness must
stop somewhere. The right women
are appearing in severe clothes, what
ever the reason. Homespun. sturdy
pumps. stitched hats in demure
shapes. wash blouses with lingerie
frills and heavy gloves are the high
spots in the crowd in the streets. It
is this fashion that has brought about
demand for a certain kind OF hat
that once was relegated to the broad
highway and the wooded lane. Some
of them are in pinked flannel. some-
