 New York. Feb. g8-Thc larcu family of woolcns furnishes Paris with the most popular material tor out-of door onc-piccc frocks and suits for spring. They form con plcte community of their own an arc fascinating in their variety. Leading the vogue are soft pl1.n jerseys, jorscy-tweed, tweed -jcrscys. covert cloth. and the great varic Of lightweight crepoy materials such as worsted shantuns and piquc.
 The spring Of l930 will be q sea son Of suits Even the mid-seas3u collection offered them in both silk and wool-thc former for souihcrn playgrounds and the latter for cold CT climates At Inc moment thr charming woolcns arc domnatins the sports mode, but the warm r days will find the silk prints cAtc1- slyclT employed. especially the .io silks which do not soil or crush 90 quickly as the plain materials.
 Variety Marks Suits
 The most satisfactory thIng abog, the return Of suits is tho enormous choice they offer in both cut au1 fabric. There arc the suank Nt'.- Eton jackets so charming when J.- Neloped in the amusing silk print There are the short box coats of tweed jersey or jcrscy-tWecd. The arc dress suits Of broadcloth Ni-h long coats and tho scrviccablc ruit- length and three quarter lrnctq coats found in so many Of the smls developed in covert cloth.
 In fact, one may go suited from morning 10 night and still be c;,- tirely in the mode since there is a suit for every occasion. many of them with blouscs which accontuate their charm. Certainly no we'll balanced wardrobe is complete wlt'i- out several suits of varying chardc- ter and materials.
 Ono of the most satisfactory ma tCrials for the travelling suit is cova:t cloth. X charming example is illus trated in chocolate brown. fcatur- ing a fashionable cape, and illus
 
 combinations. The lapels and cape are faced with mimosa yellow fl1t silk crepe. the former ending in [, graceful scarf in the back. The Ccat comes almost 10 the bottom of the skirt, and the blouse is of tie same material as the facing of the cape. With it is worn brown felt turban and brown kid oxfords. Youth is stressed in the develon- n1ent Of the spring jerseys. Many Of them initiate the self-patterntd Crepes. Others present color com blnatious that gladden. the eye. Of the latter. an excellent example Y. sey is striped with raspberry anl pale pink. furnishing q continuation which makes one think of spring 1 gardens. The effect is charming. | The bands in inc slccveless blouse 1 which circle the hips arc repeated iu tho pleated skirt and in tho tri- angular scarf, The same color i schcmo is found in the Shetland : wool which forms croChcted GOV, 1 CT for the straw hat while sports oNfords of white buckskn Wl:h | brown leather trims complete the charming ensemble.
 Woolcns and silks for spring a'l- here to the same ideas and stress much the same range of colorin3s. They are quite frank in their imi- tation of each other in weavcs and Colors. Myers tweed family is .he most famous and includes the cf- i fcCtivo tweed jerseys and jersey tweeds which the French cuturie s are using so extensively i'll ,lle i morning onepiece frocks. Illus trated in a Patou concept for the development of morning frock Of red and beige jersey-tweed for which I have designed a sports hat ] carrying the same color scheme. Jersey-tweeds arc used extensively l in combination with leather for spring pumps, and there are scores of lovely bags made of the same material.
 Another important member of the wool family is the series of wool georgettes which I find most 9s- fective in the creation of daytime duds for the ut-of-d doors. This branch of the family includes nl varieties of the crepey woolcns, an will be found exceptionally service able for ocean travel during the carly months of spring.
