NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Beating
the Easter fashion parade by at
least a month is the wardrobe
schedule smart women must set for
themselves this spring.
Everything promises an excep-
tionally early spring and with
Easter coming so late this year, no
one should expect the twain to meet
TO decide what's what in chic for
1890
First choice for the seasons ward
robe should be a suit. Suits really
are the crocuses Of the fashion
world, fresh, appealing, bobbing up
here and there unexpectedly to tell
a world grown tired Of winter that
spring is here.
Nothing could be more appro-
pirate to the season than the
jaunty, youthful verve Of new spring
suits. For now that that particular
type of apparel has been psyched
out of the inferiority complex that
the ubiquitous lOng-cOated enSem-
bles gave them. the suit energies as
the most piquant apparel for spring,
positively topnotch socially and sar-
torially.
Distinction in Spring Suits
There are many types of spring
suits, but they may be classified
roughly as sports suits, regulation
tailored suits and elaborated dress
maker suits. It is from the second
and third classification that the
wearable daytime suits should be
chosen, because sports suits this year
should be reserved for either specta-
tor or participation sports wear.
No suit is a good choice this year
that does not take cognizance of the
waistline and the curved body sill
houette. The most refreshing aspect
of the new styles is their rediscovery
of the human figures lines.
Tailored suits are semi-fitted or
close-fitted. single-b r e e d or
double. buv the most correct ones
are restrained both in their lines
and in the cut of their peak or
notched lapels. The style is in the
perfect fit and fine tailoring.
Skirts are wrap-around or gored,
cut with yokes with pleats below
or with godets that give fullness be
low hipline. Belts come with each
suit and the sweetest and daintiest
blouses in many a year tuck into the
skirts.
Blue Is Outstanding
Fine twills. tweeds, gaberdines. CO.
vert cloth. corded wOrsteds. novelty
featherweight woOlens from abroad
and plain finish soft fabrics fashion
these suits.
Illustrative OF a lovely interpreta-
ton of this type of suit is a little

hnger-tip length, cut dOublebreaSted,
with notChed lapels and the sleeves
buttoning with three buttons, like
the coat.
A clOse-f1tting spring turban, with
manipulated brim, in the dark gray
of the suits color. tops it. This lit
lite hat has a silver and dark gray
feather fancy for its brim. A stun
ming large silver fox scarf, pale gray
suede gloves in pull-on style and
gunmetal suede purse are the other
accessories.
Totally unlike this suit in every
thing but full measure Of style is
piquant little dressmaker suit of the
new blue with a violet hue. This
suit is the very latest entrant in
spotlight fashions. because it fea-
tures the flaring peplum line that is
giving a flip to spring STYLES.
Suits Belted and INDEBTED
There are two kinds of peplum,
haring suits. the belted and the I'M
belted, and which is the more youth
full and pleasing. tbs hard indeed to
say.
This little suit In blue has very
new collar with the back line of it
edged in white galyack, that ia
vorite "heatless' fur trim for warm
days. Its blouse is white satin, cut
cry Smartly. with an extremely
feminine yoke and tie effect. The
coat is belted with a narrow band
of the blue worsted, which ties in a
soft bowknot in front.
The skirt contributes its full quota
to chic by its yoke line, its deep,
Impressed pleat at the side front
and the side back and its new longer
length which is quite the distance
from the floor that all well-behayed
5ressy little suits should have.
