Choosing an Easter outfit that is versatile is the big spring problem | confronting the independent s2o-a- week girl.
 Of course. by Easter costume. l mean the spring outfit. No one dresses solely for Easter Sunday, any | more. But there is q certain pSy- l cholosical satisfaction in having ac- | cumulated ones spring wardrobe by 1 that date
 | The s25-a-nnek girl usually works where neither smock nor the proverbial black store costume is appropriate. She must therefore, i consider her spring clothes in the 1 light of both work and play attire. 1 They should be not dressy. but at 1 tractive. Color plays an important ] part.
 Thpn-thc Accessories Along with her dresses and coat or her suit or ensemble, she must consider accessories. For these are i the little things of life that can | give dash and vim to an otherwise 1 unnoticeable consume. Hats, belts | shoes. purses. scarfs, pins and so on must be considered important members of the style family.
 In some ways the very best choice for Easter is the spring coat and hat combination, with inexpensive figured frocks bought later as one can afford them. Such coat should be medium or dark colOred wool, without fur, but cut with dash Tn it's fullness, its cuffs or collar that makes of it something more formal than a mere sports coat.
 It Isn't Expensive
 This style of coat can be had for from sl45o mp. Topped by tricky little felt hat with fiaring sides o' dropping backline and given a neat purse. fabric gloves and either 4 scarf or d boutonniere, tan kash- inc tweed coat or a gray one be- comes very smart.
 For the girl who has frock o' two to start the year with, sllE ensemble or a silk frock and WOO coat ensemble IS lovely. Ensemble frock this year must have full skirts they should play up the femlnln' neckkne and take full advantage ol the snug hipline vogue. The coats topping them may be anything from bolero to a long coat but the three quarters coat is the best buy because it can be made 10 serve a' 4 topcoat for other frocks. Remcm ber the need of versatility in every thing you buy, when your wardrobe is small.
 The silk ensemble calls for llttl' more formal type Of hat than th' coat. There are copies of frencf models to be had for few dollar that emphasize the chic of the fire mans hat. the Lido curtain -drol hack models and other new and be coming editions Ii is tricky to hav' the hat the same plain color as th' ensembles coat.
