SPRING FROCKS
GO ON SALE
IN \. !.
Women Also Buying Bathing
Suits, Though Snow is
Still on Ground
BY WILLIAM PARKER,
InternstionaI News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Spring
frocks on sale in the middle OF
winter!
Even in "zat'' Paris where styles
often are ahead of the modistes,
the shops don't display chic silk
bathing suits when the snow is on
the ground. Yet that, was the
strange spectacle beheld on Fifth
avenue. though the women window
shoppers did not appear to think It
strange. They were buying.
Quilted velvet hats promise. to be
all the rage this spring. They are
in bright colors, have that slash
ing" appearance and the price Is
not at all dear, only $28. They are
lust over from Paris and you may
have your choice of blonde tones,
pervenche, blue, orchid, rose, green,
black or white.
Then there are various types OF
sport frocks. One of which is -espe-
cially smart is two-piece sports
frock. They are of light weight
jersey, with round neck jumper and
skirt with pleats at one side. The
colors are pure white or variety
OF striking shades. And they are
placarded as bargains at $3S land
upward"
One shop is showing an original
creation of a jersey shirt blouse
and pleated crepe silk skirt. The
pieafed skirt is ION a bodice" so
the young saleswoman explained.
The shirt blouse is trimmed with
crepe silk to match. flesh. green,
blue or maize. OF course, these are
somewhat higher, but still quite
reasonable at $50.
If you want to add q daring
touch you may purchase a hand
painted 'kerchief' at SIG, they're
expensive but very brilliant.
One of the most popular stores
announces ''tlaat the newest thing
f=shion has to say is prints. It's
not so cheap to say it with prints
as with flowers. for printed silk
frocks run from $3.50 to $175. They
have the new Paris jabot, the godet
and the Chanel pleats. The pat
terms are flowers, dots and plaids.
So much for the women's shops.
The mems shops are announcing
marked down sales of overcoats.
