SNOW makes came down Friday
morning, perhaps very much out of
pace with spring on the program.
but That has not deferred the SPRING
like inclinations when women folks
have desired to shop among tbc
spring goods.
This week has been opening week
IN the Augusta apparel stores. Each
and every week sees something new
ON the racks, on the shelves and be-
hlnd the counter, but this week has
been a special event in that spring
| and summer raiment has come to the
front strong.
At Adams
| az INC AuafnS store, the home of
everything in the wearing apparel
line for young and old alike, there
is shown this week all that is pretty
fresh and new for spring and sum
mer.
Let's wander into the suit depart
ment. Where can get a nice blue
SUIT Tor best wear? They are so
hard to find this season. That is
the complaint which many women
have. a glance at the suit DEPART
ment in the Adams store will quick
~ dlspel this feeling. There are all
sorts of blue suits for al sorts of
occasion and all sorts of prices
II one handsome dark blue tricotine
suit sported black silk embroidery.
1t was all hand done and each stitch
was placed perfectly French knots
grouped on the bottom of another
suit coat of blue tricotinc were keen
rivals to neatly scalloped bottom
Tor the center of attraction
Imported Scotch tweeds, Soft and
woody, attractive in design and color
All that the name implies. The mix
ture is most uncommon One model
had single pocket on each side of
the front of the coat A tweed golf
suit carried four patch pockets in
front-plenty of room to store the
| favorite golf balls. Inverted plaits
made the back of the coat look diff
ferent and the plaits were of gen.
erous length, running from the
shoulder seam to the bottom Of the
coat. The mOnotony Of the straight
line was relieved by tailored arrows
on the plaits, just below the waist
line.
knickcr suits there are a plenty
for those who want them. Shree-
piece suits include tweed coats and
skirts and knickers to match. Then
there are the regular knickcr suits,
1 which do not even lug along a skirt
as an apology.
Coats assert their independence
when they arc separate. There arc
coats for sport and every day use:
there are coats for wrappy use and
coats for most any use.
\ How do you like this one? Ven
dene is the material and that is the
softest velvety material you could
imagine. The back of the coat is
bloused. AS if to add still more
charm, there is a light tan crepe de
chine lining and a metallic and silk
pelt.
Can you imagine sleeves which are
built absolutely square and look
very much like an afterthought.
when stretched out full length? A
kezaro cloth coat-another new ma
tcrial--is tan in color, has much ca
BILE stitching and sports these square
sleeves. The collar is shirred in the
back.
Corona is another rich, pile fabric
for summer coats. This special corona
coat which l have in mind and which
| they showed me at the Adams store
was brown, had sleeves made cape
style, very full and very indefinite
| in arrangement. On the sleeves
there were huge buttonholes, but the
use of them was vague as no buttons
were in sight.
Another very attractive coat was
OF silver gray kezaro and long
panels hung from beneath the arm
to the hem of the coat bottom. On
the end Of the panels were huge silk
tassels. Gable stitching was much
used on the back of the coat, run
ming from shoulder 20 shoulder, in
maze OF lines.
