IN bright color everywhere
you turn It's fashionable all right.
And fine tonic. But-black and
white is fashionable, too. Just as
fine a tonic when you wear it in the
smart, early spring way.
And the smart way is with white
in soft, delicate lingerie or lace
touch on black dress.
Old-faShioned? Not bit of it.
Maybe your grandmother and moth
er did wear this combination. You've
worn it, too-not so long ago, either.
But in a season of brilliant color,
black-and-white looks as new and
fresh and different as the first
spring crocuS.
Best of all, this black -and-white
fashion isn't confined to one time
of day. It's just as smart for semi
formal daytime as for informal eve
ming.
Luncheon. Tea. Afternoon bridge.
Three good places to introduce your
