The first question of what will be
worn in spring is invariably answered
by the rustling of taffetas. Attractive
frocks of this material are already
being made up for early spring show
ing. Many of them are trimmed with
ruffied tunics, hemstitching, em-
broidery or Persian colorcd sleeves,
Taffcta Is a youthful material which
only the slender figures can stand and
therefore most of the new taffeta
frocks are built on slender lines.
This model is typical of the spring
taffetas. 1t Is fashioned of rich
shade of brown. The skirt features a
petal tunic edged with narrow ruffles.
Tho bodice is made on the overblouse
style with a plain front and back. and
the short taffcta sleeves are cut petal
shape and show long sleeves of ruby
colorcd georgctte with tiny ruffled
cuffs of the taffeta. Such frock Will
be sure to find its way into tho ward
robe OF tho school miss who will want
some such gown for afternoon teas
