NEW YORK, April 2.-Getting your
moneys worth out of your Easter
wardrobe, no matter how much you
can spend on it, is the sporting
American thing to do this year
The only way to succeed in getting
your moneys worth is to set an
amount you can spend, decide what
you really want to wear, and APP
portion your budget according to
costume. hat, shoes and other
accessories.
If you belong in the over $50-a-
week class, which goes on up ad
inhnitum, you will find that you
spend a much smaller proportion for
your costume than the girl who has
S25 a week In fact, the costume
proper will cost only so per cent or
so of your total budget. That leaves
you a princely amount for &C
cessories
Demand Three Things
If you have plenty of money to
spend for your Easter outfit what
should you demand, in order to be
sure that you get your moneys
worth? Three things, certainly: EX-
elusive outfits. Elegance. Distinction.
Color plays large part, off
shades are made for you, rich furs,
perhaps one of the new fur leis-
which are long necklaces of eX-
quisite fox skins, sables or other rich
furs.
The line Of your costume and the
originality and eXclusiveness of your
accessories are to be considered,
certainly. And you are in the lucky
class which can select a costume
that is infinitely pleasing and
unique, knowing that you will have
other everyday wearables to save
one for special occasions.
If you are young and charming,
a modish redingote outfit is sure to
intrigue you. The redingote is of
stained glass blue velvet, with short
cape sleeves, and ties in front at
the v of the neck and belts at the
waistline.
Crepe FrOck Beneath
Under it there is a fresh, SPRING
like looking blue, red and gray
striped crepe frock, so young look
ing it draws signs from any one
over 30. A shiny blue straw hat,
with gray velvet ribbons jutting
through the brim and making a
splash bow there, and blue accesso-
ries make it a charming Easter
morning outfit.
For the elegante who can af-
ford to pay for eXclusiveness, there
is a black and white printed dress
with double low peplum frill in a
formal print of a butterfly motif
against the black. 1t is fashioned
with the butterfly motif repeated in
q charming butterfly bow at one
side of the neck, made of batiste
and real lace.
With this charmingly feminine
gown, a lei of fox fur is enticing
and perfect with the small beret of
black that tucks a white gardenia
under its back at the neckline.
Distinctive and tailored for the |
woman who wears clothes like a
million is a smart brown and white !
print of silk that is luscious enough /
to satisfy a collector of fine fabrics. /
1t has a novel one-rever, the /
other-side-fowers effect in front a
wide brown patent leather belt, a |
rough bandeau sailor hat that gets
uppish in the back, and a regal fur
scarf of three handsome sables, I
heads and ALL
Basket Weave Suits Popular
If you can afford several outfits
this spring, you may be most in
terested at Easter time in one of |
the spring-like pastel-colored basket (
weave suits in the new novelty /
wools that are so soft and easy to
wear.
One of these, in the new French
blue that makes fair women look
SO much fairer, has a beautifully |
cut skirt, with fine scanning, a coat |
that makes it's own soft neckline |
without the aid of any scarf or fur,
and something ravishing in contrast |
in the way Of a little eyelet en-
broidered waist of durene batiste
in citron shade.
This also has a soft neckline, fas- |
tening over like a double-breasted |
little gilet, and has three crystal |
buttons in the blue of the suit.
All of these are different" They |
represent such diverse styling, COL |
oring and fabric that the matter of |
making a choice becomes the most /
personal matter.
For, if you can spend whatever |
you like for your Easter outfit, above /
all, it should be like you, express
your personality and become you
infinitely.
