The Washington times., 1922-03-26

the very full skirt trimmed with
ruffles, frills or ribbon trimmings:
these are characteristics Of the
quaint, charming little gowns that
are specially designed for the
flapper.
WITH the tailored and the sport
suit the Washinglo Ton matron
and maid will wear silk scarfs
this spring, and here again bril-
liant color is introduced. ]. NJ.
Gliding & Co. are showing verv
attractive sweater and scarf COM
binations to bright and gay that
the wearer couldn't possibly be
downhearted even after a total
loss at golf.
One lovely black silk knit slip
over model has a scarf attached
that may be worn hanging on
each side or with one end thrown
back over one shoulder. The
wide Roman stripe scarf is a
striking combination Of red. green.
yellow and blue and is edged with
vari-colored fringe. Against the
black sweater it provides a color
full contrast.
The Roman stripe scarf, by the
way, is the last word in smart
accessories. Beside being an at
tractive means of relieving the
severity of the most prosaic
costume and introducing a gay
color array. it also performs it's
service when March winds blow,
and is a very serviceable addition
to the motoring toys.
ANENT sport attire. along with
the growing popularity of
tweeds and homespuns it is but
natural that our manufacturers
and importers get inspiration
from that country famed for
sports and sport attire, England.
This influence makes it's way
into our sport category moro
successfully than in other types
OF costumes. The heavy plaid
wool fabric like the steamer rug,
the coarse homespuns and tweeds
all lend themselves admirably to
the designing of our sport at
tire. And American women have
grown to like and demand these
coarse, heavy materials in clothes
for sport wear
The popularity Of the cape
brings to the fore that type Of
cape SO popular with English
women, that is the heavy wool
plaid model that ends in wooden
fringe at the bottom. Washing
tons select establishments arc
showing just such capes as these
that are typically English and
sporty.
IN millinery this season there
are so many attractive novel
ties, such an array Of different
types. Large and small hats are
competing for honors in the MILL
merry field and there are SO many
different ages and countries that
have influenced the mode that one
might be easily suited. Sometimes
one Of a distinctly Napoleonic note
will be seen and 1t is good. Then
there will come one Of evidently
Victorian inspiration and it Is
good. So whatever your type may
be you can find something in a hat
this spring which will suit your de-
mands exactly and be, at the
same time, one of those things that
is being worn.
In the colors entering on the
stage of fashions this spring there
is none more timely than apple
green, suggestive of the season. At
the shop of Louise Hicks one very
"''' d'tiN' nat is VI apple green
faille silk and it's jaunty brim is
cut into the crown in front nesting
an apple green paradise that
sweeps to one side. This type Of
hat is becoming to so many people,
especially when they have the good
sense to wear a hat of this sort
with a costume that is otherwise
quite inconspicuous and sober of
tone.
At this shop there seems to be a
noticeable preponderance Of the
quaint poke bonnets that promise
to be very popular this season.
Close backed hats with wide droop-
ing brims prevail, typical Of the
picturesque Gainsborough hat.
Fruit and flowers provide an
ornate trimming more profuse to-
ward the front of the crown. Black
patent leather leaves are also used
following the trend of fashion,
which seems TO be an everlasting
desire for shiny trimmings such as
CLASSY berries, leaves, flowers and
