NEW YORK, April 1.-THE
spring parade is usually inaugu-
rated by Easter.
With this holiday so far down
the calendar Of April, the patience
Of fashionable society has already
broken bounds in smart centers with
enhancing harbingers OF Easter
Sunday.
suits lead the fascinating pro-
cession.
1t was obvious they would with
the very advent Of spring styles,
but even that early promise could
not predict the charm they would
achieve.
The taileur has come back to Its
own-but with a difference. It lacks
the rigid formality Of its antece-
dents both in point Of material and
in development. For the former
fact that utilization of lovely silks
Is largely responsible. For the lat
ter we perhaps owe most to the soft
and feminine lingerie touches.
Coat Isn't Necessary
Don't get the idea that the silk
suit necessitates the wearing OF a
TOP coat. Such a necessity is obvi-
ated by ar interlining. In fact,
the coat to the silk suit is thus
made sufficiently warm to enable
it to lead the spring procession
without causing discomfort to the
Wearer.
There is no question that it will
dominate the Easter parade. For 1t
suggests everything for which Eas-
ter stands. It symbolizes the very
gaiety Of spring in its fresh and de-
lightful patterns.
For the silks Of which 1t IS de-
veloped are fresh. they r dainty,
they are quaint in pattern. they are
surprisingly lovely in color COM
binations. and they T youthful.
In one lovely example the ma
terial is p~ussy-willow silk Of black
background. The lly-of-the-valley
pattern is white, red and green. The
dress has a charming bolero which
crosses surplice fashion across the
front. The short 1ounced coat fol-
lows the line of the bolero.
Coat Sleeve Three Quarters
The coat sleeve is ee-quarters
allowing the sleeves Of the frock to
fall beneath it. The pleated skirt
has a full flare. With it IS worn
a hat designed by Florence Walton
and developed in Milan straw.
It has a Sunburst effect with a
sectional crown that fits the head
and meets at the back. It's sole
trimm' is a white kid bow that
matches the white kid gloves which
complete the smart outfit.
It is an ensemble which will be
found in many variations in the
spring procession of the s~artorial
world.
An old-fashioned material which
this spring is enjoying signal favor
is etamine. 1t appears in both wool
and silk. It is especially adaptable
for suits and lightweight top coats.
There come to mind two charm
ing etamine developments. Lanvin
is responsible for the navy blue suit
Of etamine, showing a smart cape
development and singularly effective
bib.
The bib is made Of petal shaped
pieces which are put together with
bands Of white chiffon which give
the impression Of ~faggoting.
Collar Matches Bib
The scalloped collar of the cape
matches the bib. The cape and the
full skirt are both gored. With the
ensemble is worn a swank little
turbsn OF Milan straw and white
silk pique.
Another etamine development is
that of an extremely smart top coat
created by AuguStabernard. Very
sophisticated in its shaped lines, it
nevertheless is relieved from any
suggestion OF maturity by its white
caracul collar and its shaped sleeve,
the latter suggesting the mousque-
taire effect.
Descat is responsible for the black
and white neora straw hat worn
with this top coat. 1t has a rolled
brim close to the crown which simu-
lates a turban.
Turban Is Charming
For the more dressy costumes
which will be found here and there
in the Easter parade. Agnes sug-
geStS a charming turban of the new
pineapple straw which looks so much
like genuine lace that one has to
examine it closely to find out the
difference.
1t has a draped coronet crown
and is trimmed with a butterfly
side bow. 1t is an admirable ex-
ample Of what will be worn with
lace trimmed frocks In all the lovely
pastel shades for spring which are
being shown in myriad combina-
tons to supply the more dressy de-
mands Of afternoon bridge and tea
parties.
