That day, however, belonged to az
era more fancial than ours-ours
which from literature and the
stage to fashions has abandoned

And so the new perfumes leave
no lingering doubts as to their
identity. They are clearly per-
fumes, and their various scerts
are as punsent as they are ex-

the advent of Easter, the new
styles of 1924 are ready to as
sumo their place in history. And
if it will not be a place distin-
guished for its originality of con-
ception, at least it will acknowl-
edge no peers for its infinite va
riety. Indeed, so varied have been
the models, so liberal the interpre-
tations, that the present styles
may be aptly termed the mode of
"laissez faire." The paradox of
the situation lies in the fact that
the inspiration for this wide d.
vertissement of fashion came from
a dogmatic adherence to the
straight, short silhouette, dictat-
ed by milady to the occasionally
reluctant couturier.
Out of such a large assemblage
of models it is difficult to point
out any invariable characteristics.
One cannot say there are belts, or
there are no belts, waistlines or no
waistlines, sleeves. or no sleeves,
and the dilemma of the woman
who always waits for the Easter
parade to solve her wardrobe
problem becomes more acute as
time goes on.
To lead this frugal lady out Of
the paths of darkness, five models
have been sketched on today's
page, each representing a differ.

Every costume is typical of its
class-it is neither too bizarre nor
too conservative, and the certain
and unmistakable hallmark OF

Once again the annual spring
hsgira to the Riviera is in full
sway. All along the terraces OF
Monte Carlo, scattered along the
wide and popular streets of Nice
and again on the picturesque CroI-
settle of Cannes, the fashionable
women of London and Paris have
installed themselves. And every
prominent couturier has temporar-
lily frosaken the Paris salon for
the Cote d'Azur.
The most popular. ,.ovelty of tn?
season is the plaid witch las bee:
accepted with an unexpected ar

popularity. For those of more
