New York. May 11.-Everyone's on the wing these days. Some are returning from abroad. others sail ing. Some are running down to Aik- cn or Hot Sulphur Springs. Others are indulging in a round Of parties before the summer exodus to the country begins.
 The fact that two recent first nights brought forth some lovely but quite informal gowns proves that the softeninE influence or summer is abroad at home. Spring Is Here! Shopping seems to be one of the favorite smart set sports these days. What with June weddings, new Iclothet, new homes and SO on, it is no wonder. Some of the exclusive little shops off Fifth avenue are buzzing with activity.
 It is really outdoor weather. now that winter is hiding around the cor Ter. During a brisk walk down Park and Madison avenues and 1t lunch- con saw innumerable chic women. Open coats, furs on arms. scarfs un- fastened and flowers on many shoul- ders all showed the universal an- swer to springs call
 Mrs. Carol B. Alker wore q very tiny boutonnicre of spring flower; on the lapel of her grey worsted suit, with . fine stripe of darker grey. She had an unusual little skull! cap with shiny ribbon trimming it. Her white satin blouse with pearl buttons had . bit of fine lace for pleasing feminine touch.
 Pink Vogue Revived
 Silk suits brave the still chilly air. Anne Eiesewetter was modish sight in . dark one, with the collar of her flesh colored blouse worn over her long coats collar, . new old sty.e always liked.
 The increasing vogue of pink IA gratifying to me. Nothing is more feminine. Nothing is more becom- ing. if one can wear it well. Mrs. Jack sh.ridan is one woman who wears many shades of it tremen- dously we'll. I saw her dancing recently in a rose chiffon frock that was perfectly lovely with her silvery hair.
 Speaking of women who looked lovely. must mention Mrs. Rob- ert Chandler the night Of the open- ing of the St. Regis Roof. With a ], dia phanous off-white frock of silk / net and faille taffeta, she wore stun- ming matrix jewelry. with matching . slippers. Frankly, nothing is more feminine and charming than this , vogue for delicately colored frocl,s' and gowns an l slippers. scarfs. jew , elry or other accessories in richer. pastel hues.
 In spite of all the Ans" and . "Oh's" about large straw lats. i; ? constantly surprises me to see how , women cling to the very small felt If tailored to the head, there's . } svelt something about it that is in- triguiny and becoming. Take Madame Msdelaine Soldatenko< as I saw hcS the other day - smar, , little suit, off-Ehite blouse with larg. , bow in front and a neat. beautifully } made little felt hat in the suits col } or, with . pert bow of itself in the : back. She wore pearl earrings and } a double pearl pin through one Ia. , pei. Presto. she looked like . lash. ion plate.
 | Lovely Old Necklace | Lace touches grow apace, too Phyllis Walsh softens the neck of 6 , dark silk frock with q beautiful col. : lar and jabot of lace and georgette
 Above it she wears a neckline of old silver links that bespeaks the old country and another age in charm. ing manner.
 Style comes diagonally in man, quarters now. The other day a
 luncheon it Was borne in on ms
 now many georgette and chiffor
 froclss used diagonal "nervures' as the French call their little hant
 tucke. for trimming. Mabe
 Burchard has a sweet little sof
 chiffon blouse with her new sui
 that is striped with double tuck
 running diagonally about thre.
 inches apart through the body O the blouse.

 was. of course. the Aztec Pagean
