YOrk's manufacturing district IS
working upon spring models full
tilt this first month Of the new year
and even the retail trade is show
ing advance lines, while Milady pur-
chaser is quite agog at these spring
revelations in January. Style trends
have not really crystallized as yet,
although various lines show some
points OF similarity which tell what
the seasons mode will be.
Suits are more varied than any
thing else. especially in the matter
Of trimming Some houses nse col
ored embroideries. others exploit the
use OF braid in novel designs, while
others enliven the costume with gay
beaded trimming. Perhaps the lat
ter is most in favor. for each house
shows at least some bead-trimme /
suits. Some models are very gay
with motifs Of vari-colored beads.
while others use jet and irrideScent.
Many OF the cape-baCk suits have
a beaded pattern about the cape
edge. Navy blue, as usual. is the
seasons favored suit color. triCOtine
Is the reigning material. and IL IS
these standard blue tricotine suits
that haunt colOred beads more than
any of the others. One model COM
bines henna and peacock blue beads
with floss of the same shades. The
floss acts as stem or tendrIl and tn
beads are combined into a flora
motif which is used on the LONG

Summer Suites For Fair Forms

SLOUGH" back. This effect devel-
oped from the winters vogue for
the ''huddled" wrap-that is, the
wrap clutched up in the front, fall
ing back upon the shoulders, and
thus showing a lower back length
than front This fad is transferred
TO the suit coat rather than the
SKIRT in the spring line. Spring belts
which are plain, beaded. or embroid-
cred are used.
A few houses are making satin
suits IN place Of the tafeta line OF
former black. Many sport models
of tweed are also upon the market.
but Jerseys are practically out or
the showing.
The winter vogue for plaid. pleat-
ed skirts is holding over for tho
spring season. Contrary 10 eXpec-
t4tion. the color effects are even
darker than they have been for win
ter wear. Tan is the main color in
all the plaid effects, and navy and
tan, or brown and tan are the lead
ers. Black and white effects are al

Killed models are shown and even
plain gathered or shirred lines are
upon the market.
Tailored flannel skirts in white
trimmed with red or green stitching
