NEW YORK, March 19.-One of
Americas biggest assets are the hun
dreds of working girls who get from
SIS 10 SIS a week, live on it, thrive
on it and dress like Paris menne-
quins on it.
This Easter these girls and the
stay-at-home women with approx
mately the same amount to spend
for clothes, will find budgeting their
spring clothes wardrobe q Joyous
adventure in chic.
First, they can get SO much more
for the same money this year than
last. Second, there is a much wider
diversity of styles TO pick from.
Third, with thrift the undertone
Of the nation and spend-that-
-mayspend the oVertone,
there is real satisfaction in laying
out money and getting full return.
Here's Your Budget
If you are in this income cate
CORY, you may have around S25 for
everything and your budget should
run something like this:
Costume $1,000 to $500
Hat ............. 200 to $50
Gloves, stockings, and
scarf or flower &C.. 2.0O to 800
Shoes ............., $50 to 500
Obviously. the costume should be
selected first, since the amount you
will have for accessories will depend
on your investment in this.
There are three or four salient
choices for the girl with around
S25 to spend for her Easter ward
robe. She may get silk frock suit,
If she lives in a warm cline; she
may get a jaunty little suit dress
with different colored jacket, a coat
to wear over costumes she has, or
O silk suit.
Printed Silks Give Variety
There are multitudinous printed
elk frocks with matching jackets
in either the boelro or the hip
length jacket that runs anywhere
from $685. or $40 up to $14.95.
If you are buying one OF these re-
member these points: Black and
white prints are always chic, brown
and green are new and good, reds
are quickly tired of, and puppies
the hard to match. but the good old
blues are seen everywhere, are ire
mendously easy to match up and
one of the best bets in the world.
A chic little frock ensemble OF
blue and white print has frock
with cap sleeves, fitted lines and
white tucked net vestee, over which
slips a long bolero jacket of the
same material, with three-quarter
sleeves, that ties in front with
little bow.
Second in line comes the jacket
and skirt suit, with one of the pop
ular Bingham blouses that every girl
loves this spring This suit is i'll the
SIS class, but it is all right to spend
that much, for theer are fewer ac-
cessories needed.
Knee FIcunces of Pleats
The skirt has one of the new knee
founces Of pleats, the jacket is cut
away slightly and the sleeveless
Bingham blouse is square necked.
With this. one of those little, little
hats that sit on the back of the
head and can be picked up for
song this spring, a pair of black
patent leather and simulated shark
skin shoes, white chamois gloves and
black Easter parade.
If you are all individual type,
there is new type Of costume you
may like this spring. a skirt and
Jacket of contrasting colors, with
the darker tone on top
One of these is a brown skirt,
buttoned up the front, of crepella,
with flsring, above-t he-hips box
Jacket of the new henna tone of red
that is flattering as can be and gay
at the same time.
Gay COlors Best
Lastly. if you are very young and
dare things, there are lots of in
expensive jersey, silk or sheer wool
suits that are composed of frocks
with matching jackets and then
