Spring Fashions Promise
To Become Gay in Colors

Dark gray woolen coats. long, three
quarter or hip-length. will be worn
over dresses or smoothly fitting skirts
OF lighter shades. Shoes, gloves, bags
and various accessories will be either
dark or light. Black, white, brown and
navy blue will be used to relieve the
monotony of gray, which, as it can be
combined in all manner of ways, can
be rendered becoming to everybody by
the right manipulation. 1t has often
been observed that gray was an old
color, suitable for second mourning or
the dreary dress Of octogenarian ladies
for whom dress was nothing more than
q means Of concealing nakedness. This,
of course. is far from true. Take your
favorite color, combine it with gray and
you will be amazed, but most pleasantly
So to see how harmoniously they COM
blne so that an unexpected freshness Is
brought to give new animation and
character to your old favorite shade.
X X X
pERHAPS the most up-to-the- minute
combination with gray is in the
new purple colors, ranging from vivid
to dull. On the Promenade des Anglais
I saw purple blouse worn with skirt
and short coat of gray that matched
the lining and the revers of the coat.
Bright touches Of color will also be seen
with black and navy as Spring arrives.
1t is the practical side of the mode
that will tend toward gray and gray
combinations. There is another entirely
different side, which is not practical at
ell, but more becoming. Here dusty
pastel shades will flourish nightly,
pink. ashes of roses, powder blue,
pinly beige and violet. Informal din
ner dresses and afternoon frocks in
these colors will be seen in soft woolens,
jerseys and heavier silks. NO contrast
ing pastel colors may go together. or
two tones of the same shade. Red of
yellowish hue is making its appear
ance. while salmon, coral pink and
bright tangerine yellow will also be
good choices. White and ff-white re-
tain their position in the mode and the
pure white afternoon dress of woolen
or crepe that has been a novelty this
Winter will persist.
A LII types of checks will flourish in
the daytime styles. There will be
very fine ones with three blending
colors and large designs of softer out
line. Neat little suits of the smaller
checks have skirts of solid color in a
darker shade. 'Three-quarter coats in,
the larger checks are worn with dresses
or skirts in solid color, or a sports skirt
of bold plaid design has jacket of
plain color cut on conventional coat
lines. The plain black or dark colored
afternoon frock of thin wool or crepe
will be relieved with touches of pastel
color on the sash, scarf, collar or other
accessories of the costume; belts Of gold
braid are being worn on some of the
dresses of dark and neutral colors.
The chalky pastel shades Of plaster
white, cyclamen. and smoke gray will
be new, and it will be gay Spring full
Of color and fabric variety.

By NINE, T.-LLLT,

Directrice of M1rt.cI ct Armand
TN Winter the coat is Of the Creates
possible importance, for just as ir
Summer, when the weather i:
i moderate, the dress is the center
Of all attraction and you try tt
show it off to best advantage. The
Winter, with cold and rain, is the time
for loving care to be concentrated upon
coats.
Americans have always differed from
Europeans in their insistence upon
practical features. In the back of their
minds, as they view collection, is the
thought, THAT is very pretty and all
that sort of thing, but it would only
be suitable for wear on certain special
occasions, whereas what I am looking
for must look right at least 20 hours
out of "a, whether 1t rains or shines.
This was unknown to European women,
who never thought of trying to make
cne dress answer the purposes Of two,
not to say three or four.
** **
CONTINENTAL women were horri-
~ fed the first years after the war
when they saw tourists in the big
restaurants at dinner time dressed in
daytime costumes, and the sports dress
was incongruouS worn out of its particu-
lar sphere. Now, however, and espe-
cially since the great crash in Wall
Street that stunned the world, this
formula has converted women every
where and even the richest, who can
afford as many thousands Of dresses
as they want, sometimes avail them
selves of this dress freedom and re-
main in town through the evening in
the frock they wore up to town in the
morning.
There is an informality about clothes
right now that makes the whole world
of women akin. The depression is thus
partly concealed. for the ladies who
cannot afford many changes day are
not embarrassed by the sight of others
who can. Sumptuousness of dress is
positively not fashionable, and a wom-
an dressed half as elaborately as was
the vogue a few seasons past looks
positively disgracefully overdressed.
A studied simplicity, exploiting a
little that is good, becoming and ap-
propriate, Is the note given by fash
ions tuning-fork. Nothing is more
characteristic of this formula than the
present use of furs. The all-fur coat,
symbol of prosperity, is banned. There
seems to be no excuse for wearing one
unless it is already a few seasons old
and you seem to be giving it final
fling.

Maxims for Saving
A FEW maxims against extravaganza

A FEW maxims against extravaganza
\ in achieving beauty-extravagan
that can only result in loss of money,
loss Of time and loss of loveliness-
are: Dent uce extravagant amounts
OF creams and lotions. Dent mix
metho1s ana preparations that were
rever intenccd to so together, but 90
select preparations that are knov;l to
be su-ccsstul. Don't buy large guam
tit.es of preparations until you know
that you like them, and that they agree
with your skin. and then always buy
them in large sizes
We have found that a jar of cleans
ing cream, or a bottle of skin tonic. at
50 contains approximately five times
as much as the average 81 size, SO
here is very decided economy.

IF Midwinter Riviera fashions give,
as has SO often been said by the
couturiers themselves, clear FORE
i cast of styles that will be in vogue
the following Spring, there is a
strong indication the popularity of gray
Will be revived. Not since 1927 have
seen SO much gray and subtle combina-
tiCns Of gray and beige. Not only in
Toolcns and heavier fabrics are these
uses of gray effected, but various silks
and even chiffonS in the hues of dusk
and dawn are appearing more and more
frequently. Woclen coats and suits,
dresses for sports and more formal
wear, silk afternoon dresses and eve
ming chiffons are all prominently gray
Light and dark gray in two or more
tones will certainly be neat for Paris
wear in April and May.

Mexico, of course, has . sovereign
claim to q share Of the broadcast wave

son the American broadcasters want

The maritime interests argue theil
need for the long channels, and
point out that newly designed receiver

to tune in the long-wave channels. The
broadcasters reply that Europe IS using
the long waves successfully and that
Canadian and American listeners would
soon equip themselves to tune them In

At Mexico City the question to be

be reasonably well assured that this
| country will be strongly represented at
the forthcoming North American wave
length conference in Mexico City.

the program broadcasters, have not yet

Of other North American countries for

Once an agreement Is reached, how

are bound to have the wholehearted

definite policy on international radio
may be looked for-something that was
entirely lacking in the previous admin

openly financed by Americans, was
never protested by the Republican State
Department. Most of these stations
were built by men who had been ruled
of the air In this country or who
otherwise could not get licenses from
the Radio Commission to operate.
Notable examples were-and are

became candidates for public Office, and

cans obviously feared he might become
Governor Of Kansas. He failed last
year. though he came within an ace Of

Mexico and built powerful stations Just
