Style is demanded today by the
women of America. Net alone must
dress be smart but you want every
correct.
Maybe the phases of the moon
change the styles in women's apparel
Maybe wcnen's caprice does it..
Whatever the reason behind the fact,
every few weeks sees a swinging to
and fro Of details if not silhouette.
And after all it is details that make
a woman we'll dressed wnen she
pays attention to them.
have noticed so many things in
the Douglas shops that go to make
up detail" IN one noticed the
lovely new choker necklaces with
semi precious stones that are sc very
smart now and Douglas women are
indeed fortunate for they have only
just appeared in New York city. In
this same shop / noticed the new
gloves = some so very plain and
tailored for the shopping attire and
others with the new. type OF en-
brcidered guantlet
Further down the street 1 observed
the window display of hosiery that
would do credit to town four times
the size of Douglas. Everything that
is new and up to the minute in
this important detail was displayed
and now that the silk clad knee
seems to be the focal point Of a
well dressed woman's attire, this item
is worthy of attention. The new iron
shade with black heels, lighter shades
with colored clocks turned upside
down, the new double pointex heels
and the new alluring shadeS--on
that especially attracts admiration is
called evening glow" SO elusive in
appearance that it can hardly be
called color at all a sort Of
purplish grey. 1t seems to be well
named and is proving to be a very
popular number. Something else that
is very, very new is the diamond
pointed heel, it has the triangular
heel and then a little diamond
shaped motif just above it. In hosiery
the, colors that are newest are darker,
for instance, the bullet" shade is
taking the place of the old gun
metal, and is just a trifle darker.
Everyone knows the comfort of a
sweater or knitted frock on the chilly
mornings we've been having, and in
one store I saw a three piece suit
made of some knitted material in
different shades Of green. In the
same glass casa vrth this was a
green felt hat with an ivory buckle
that just seemed to be made for it.
It should be Of interest to every
woman to know that the sweater
introduced by the English sports
but increased Well dressed women
now go to smart luncheons and
parties in clothes that were once
considered only fit for golfing or the
country club.
The reason for the increased
popularity of the sweater is that it
lis not the ready-to-wear garment
bought in other seasons but is now
a well turned out garment often
made by house as "a part OF the
costume
windows display seems to herald an
windows display seems to herald and
early spring if the new frocks and
coats are any criterion. The man
ager of this store is fore-visicned in
getting in his supply OF new habili-
ments before the season catches him
unaware In this attractive window
/ especially noticed a sports coat
suit, which would seem to indicate
that they are coming into their own
again. The jacket was short and
the skirt pleated and will make ar
adorable outfit in which to greet the
warmer weather.
At one of our leading millinery
shops the new spring modes are
already on display The color card
