navy blue suit with blue and white
checked wool short coat and hip
length cape of blue lined with the
checked material Checks large and
small are being shown quite prominently
in the Spring collections and are most
often used in combination with a plain
color. Some suits, however, are en-
tirely Of the checked wooden, as, for ex-
ample, the very snappy suit in blue
and white fairly large check with short
boxy jacket, straight shoulder yoke con-
tinuing into straight f1aring sleeves,
and white blouse buttoned up the
front that gives a waistcoat effect, as
the jacket Is fastened by means of two
tabs at the neck, and hf7gs open. The
skirt is straight gored model, like
many of the suit skirts this season.
Such lovely, fresh-looking evening
frocks are appearing every week now.
There's a crisp white organdy over
laid with large plaid of green and
black that Is made on the simplest
lines with full skirt and sash, half
Of black cire and half Of green
crepe, depending on the material
and color for its chic. The very
breath of Spring itself, even eug-
gesting a delicate fragrance, Is
rose chiffon with rather deep
chiffon ruffie forming a bertha
around the shallow oval of the
neck, the lower edge of which Is
hand-rolled and the upper finished
with a garland of soft chiffon roses.
Lace is much in evidence just now
for evening dresses. both in the fine
delicate textures and the heavier
large patterned types. Black, egg
shell and all the pastels are used.
Silk net, both plain and with che
mile dots, Is also growing in popu-
larity. One of the latter in pale
green net with brown dots and a
brown net jacket is adorable. A
yellow net tucked in scroll pat
tern is new, too. This frock has
epaulets band the skirt at three in
if YOU please-in varying lengths.
Twin narrow bias pieces like the
epaulets, band the skirt at three IN
tervak. This frock has wide
crushed green satin girdle. A black
lace with eggshell lace top Is most
serviceable as well as attractive
model, and for the matron, in all
black lace in fairly large pattern
with cape-like sections for sleeves
is a most fattering frock. The pas
tel laces in dusty pink and soft blue
are dainty creations and yet 5erv-
iceable, too.
COME women are already buying
~ Spring coats. There are many styles
to choose from, and it is not bad
idea to get one early if you see just
what appeals to you. for often some
of the most attractive and original
styles are not duplicated later, and then
the opportunity will have escaped you.
Cadet blue travel crepe makes beau
tiful full-length coat with a cape out
lined with soft blue fox. A gray travel
crepe has a cape Of gray broadtail that
produces a nice fat tailored look that
is very smart. Gray handbag and
shoes are displayed with this coat, as
well as silver jewelry accessories, but,
of course, black would look well, too.
Gray broadtail is used again for the
scarf collar on cadet blue tweed coat.
The sleeves have pleated fullness at the
top, and the belt buckle and buttons
are Of brown wood A very new and
quite different sport ensemble consists Of
brown, loosely woven wool skirt with
short orange wool jacket blouse, which
buttons high at the neck.
There is also seven-e -eighths- length
coat of brown like the skirt, with orange
collar and cuffs Navy blue rabbit S
hair makes a stunning street suit, with
a short jacket having three-quarter-
length, rather tight sleeves edged with
a band of blue fox. The French blue
bow at the neck Is part OF the blouse,
the cuffs of which also show below the
fur bands Of the coat sleeves. There
are silver filigree buttons down the
front and silver link belt. Polo cloth
is a pere nnial and this season we find
it In a double breasted model with wide
lapels, sleeves with much fullness at the
