BOLerOS Are
Better for
Slim Girls
BY JULIA BLANCHARD,

NEW YORK. May 2.-One must
pick the right suit this year to win
in the fashion game.
There are so many suits to choose
from that it is real challenge to
a woman's wits to decide which ace
OF style she should play.
She may have a long suit or a
short suit, so far as the jacket is
concerned, but she will carry of
honors if she combines feminine
fnesse, with independent sureness
in the way she leads off in her suit.
And she should realize that she
can't make a mistake in a black
suit
She should carry it jauntily and
yet demurely and above all she
never should everyday her hand by
selecting a suit she can't manage
well.
Slender, medium height, young
women should go in for boleros and
nipped-in waistlines; taller ones
should concentrate on cape effects
and belted waistlines; all should
realize the vaiue Of just the right
feminine little blouse.
Navy Blues Second
Navy blues stand second in choice
to black suits. Little pin dotted and
checked fine semi-sheer woods are
quite as smart as plain cOlors and
ribbed wools are better than fiat
ones. Greens and grays and violet
and beige suits are to be found
aplenty, too, but the blues and black
lead.
And never in the history Of fash
ion was there such a ravishingly
lovely collection of charming suits
as this year produces.
All the best choices for spring
are the soft, dressmaker variety.
Natty, jaunty and cute they are, to
be sure, but above all, they are
feminine and f1attering. The
blouse's collar may well show at the
neck and even fold down or frill
out over the coat. And the detail
work on every suit of importance is
eXquisitely expressive of the new,
intricate era in fashions which now
has fully arrived.
For the young girl, an original
O'Rossen suit in navy blue semi
sheer crepe has utterly charming
lines in its iow-fared skirt that fits
snugly up over the hips to normal
waistline and its nipped-in, semi
fitted jacket with soft lapel collar.
Blouse Is Ravishing
This suit has a raviShing little
lady blouse of hand-embroidered
batiste, with its square neckline out
lined in a little self-frill and a like
ornament running up the front
little ways from the waist, with
pearl buttons adorning it: A blue
straw beret, fox fur, blue opera
pumps, purse and gloves are correct
accessories.
For the tall girl, the long-peplum
suit is an answer to prayer. 1t gives
her grace, charm and a casual
dressiness that suits often lack. One
of these in black fine wool crepe
has a vestee collar in egg-shell gall
yack which points out to chic on
both sides and in the back and
stands up in a little turnover collar
that is stunning. The blouse is
embroidered egg-shell satin.
The suit ties shut, novel little
way of fastening, and the skirt has
slightly circular fullnesS, fiaring in
a way to suit the peplum'S lead.
Smart and very new is the bolero
outfit in black fiat crepe with a
blouse in white dotted swiss, frilled
at the neck and making drop-cuffs
TO the sleeves.
Cut Is AlIuring
The cut of this soft little costume
is intricate and alluringly lovely
1t has godets in the skirt, the
sleeves are cut in one with the
bolero and the bolero ties in front.
The last word in smartneSS comes
via a very finely checked gray and
black suit with its long Skirted coat
cut much on the lines of a tuxedo
so far as the little double-breasted
fastening is concerned.
The lapelS are rounded and re-
veal the sweetest little white silk
pique vestee and the coat buttons
over this with black bone buttons.
The skirt is gored and flares just
about as much as the coat. Black
accessories or gray ones can be
worn.
