Easter clothes moan much more than mere personal pleasure 10 the Girl-With-A A-Job.
 They are a real business asset 10 her and should be considered as an investment. Wherefore. the better her choice of clothes, the soundcr hold she has on the ladder of sue cess.
 This is true especially of the busi- ness and professional girl in the $31 10 $50 q week class. She is apt to be a secretary, teacher, high-poWer- ed salesW oman. assistant 10 som" important parsonage. As such, her personal appearance is apt 10 he deciding factor in the decision Of whether she gets the job higher up.
 Individuality is the first principle she should follow in selecting her clothes. Of course they must be ap- propriatc and suited 10 the back ground in which they are worn. But this girl just must not look like everyone else in her place of work.
 Ways to Individuality
 Thor" arc three ways in which ln- diliduality m Clo'h"s can he achieE- ed, by original cut, by new color combinations or by exquisite mater ials and fine workmanship,
 Some Of the new styles offer great diversity in the cut of cos tunes. Since skirts have been all important this winter. the upper portion of costumes assume great significance this spring. Much Is made of raglan and drop yoke sleeves. of yokos that turn this Way or that 10 chic. of collars that are "just a little different and Of sleeves that arc cut or cuffed with original ity.
 For color combinations one must look 10 her own eyes. hair and con- pleXion Blues, greens and y'iioNS are all-ilnportant this year. If may be helpful to know thst the three newest tri-color combinations this spring are white. yellow and dc"p brown, orchid, raspberry and slate blue and black. Chartreusc and ogg- shell.
 Among the new luxury fabllcs one must mention the soft, basket weave woolens that are delicate and lightweight as silks, the new cNqu- site faille silks that arc very good for formal taiiieurs, dalntily figured silks and chiffons and the hand blocked materials that bring the flavor of Paris in their folds.
 I am suggesting three entirely different types of costumes for Easter that promise indlvlduali'E. One gets it by cut, another by color the third by fabric and fashlonlng.
 For the business girl a Jaun'y tan tweed coat is cut raglan slceVed and emphasizes the fact by insert ing a half-inch slot scanning oi the flat fur that fashions the front and collar of the coat. This coat has inverted pleats from the belt down, on both hips and the cuffs are un- usually deep and flaring.
 Topping this felt and ballibunt hat. with the ballibuntl crown seam ed in deep brown IS an especially good choice. Modish three cylct OK lords in dark brown are fine ac- cessory.
 For the teacher, colors are ex- tremely important. for children love to admire er-Who-Instructs-Them. bark, dismal colors can thro" whole room into depression while yellows. pjnks, laVenders and pretty blues can make the children laugh.
 One Charming Choice
 An extremely pretty choice for spring is a grey coat, trimmed with shaved caracul with d little grey plcated flat crepe skirt and one Of the soft, novelty weave sweater blouses of slate blue. The felt hat is wisteria. and both the blue and the Wlsteria band the gray scarf that is one of the new long, slender ones that can be knotted on the shoulder or tied in a bow in front. For wear with this outfit, a pair of the new sunmetal wide-strap sandals with high-low heel is excellent. For the assistant who wants the job higher up, something with charming dignity and richness, as well as becomingness Is to be found in the faille silk and foullard en- semble, with fox collar.
 An exquisite ensemble that fea- lures horizontal pleating for it's trim is a black ensemble with the long tunic of chartreuse and black hand printed silk. The frock has a bat ! teau neck, flaring long sleeves and is belted with q sash of self mater ial. A skirt of the fail1e drops be- 1 Toy the tunic. Perfect for topping
