 On Lady Diam Manners
 The new type of suit that promises great vogue is the kind Lady Diana Manners introduced to Park Avenue one warm day, the silk jacket frock. This is silk frock with its own jacket and 1t seems me one fine es cape from the ennui of long, coated silk ensembles.
 Lady Manners was exquisite in black flat crepe. with great sheen to 1t. The frock had the irregular curved neckline that is vastly smart when just right. And of course hers was! It was outlined with one of the sott beige pinks and a little tab Of the pink relieved the black by hang ing down the left side.
 She wore an extremely becoming hat of black pica. a fine new straw. faced with pink silk. Her use of pink emphasizes that color's popularity now. The return of flesh and soft oelge p,nks-even for smart bathing suits-is one more indication of, how lady!ike are the new modes For pink does something nice to a wo. mans face which makes me welcome its return 10 favor.

SNAPPY STYLES 
 FOR PARK AVENUE
Spring Suits for Fair Sex About
 in Dapper Yarietey
BN BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer

New York, Mar. 23.-Dapper days are in store for Park Avenue with the advent Of the swanky little spring suits. They are beginning to appea, now whenever the sun shines bright ty enough to give the illusion of a warm day.
 Spring suits ever have the same Hitting psychology of the first croc,ls and the first robins call. But this year they seem doubly fresh, pleas Ing and snappy because of the almost ubiquitous fur coats. Not that I want to dtscredit some of the masterpieces of fur that strutted Gotham's ayen- ues this winter But spring suits are a welcome change.
 The strictly tailored, I suppose, is the inevitable choice for spring or a certain type of immaculately groomed Social Registerite. But if there's any Wavering, Dame Fashion certainly seems to furnish enough variety to suit the most individual minded.
 The long coated tweed suit, with sweater blouse, is one charming yer slon Of spring suit modes, Mrs. Lang don Post came out of Pierre's look Ing fresh as a spring morning in brown and tan tweed suit with three quarters coat. The skirt had ample tullness, by way of box pleats. And the coat gained grace by having a. slightly nipped-in waist-line, just q suggestion of a molded silhouette.
 The coat was collarless and cuff less. being finished with one-inch handlnss. And the angora sweater blouse, ill a lighter shade, had the same banding around its pointed neckline.
 She wore a double pointed fox
