The plain kerchief. how ever. gains vogue. A tone deeper or lighter than the sultan ombre shading of colors that catches all the tones of a dress or even strik- ing note of vivid color with white frock-these are the characteristics of kerchiefs this season.
 The new thing about kerchiefS is that they are not loved for them selves alone, now. Rather a vivid kerchief pins feature crystals. tur- ouoise. enamel, synthetic jewels and other fancies.

LITTLE THINGS IN STYLE DEMANDED
Spring Is Season for Feminine
 Accessories

Nov York, Mar. 2s. tP-sprins is the season when little things hold the stage-all through the realm of nature.
 Now the fashion world follows na- ruro The little things in a costume are even more important this spring. Acc'sSorios are, in many instances. inc focal point of costume.
 This year accessories need more care in their selection than last year. Just because clothes are be- coming dressier. a. woman must eX- ercise more restraint in the indi- spcnsible extras she buys to so with them. Too ornate a taste in access sorios will ruin the most beautiful ensemble.
 Be Sure They HarlnOnize
 Accessories for daytime are get ting away from the sets" idea Of last summer when bag, purse, scarf, bracelets, shoes and so on all were as identical in pattern and color as possible. IL is smarter now 10 har- nonize things rather than to have them all just alike. Of course the catch in that IS to make sure every thing docs ''harmonize."
 Necklaces in rather short, single strand lengths are the vogue this minute. Crystal holds enviable em. IEence-Paris is featuring it in every cut and setting.
 Bracelets now grow individual The "cll-dressed woman prefers 8 single wide bracelet to many slen. der on.S.
