sential, but if she enters the Easter
fashion parade she will wear a new
suit. The day that marks the laying
aside of Winter apparel and the
donning of light Spring clothes this
season will long be remembered as
the Easter when suits we're high style.
1t makes no difference what your
choice of suit has been-silk, tweed,
broadcloth. or lightweight wbolen,
dressmaker type, tailored or swagger
in line-so long as you have it ready
for wear this morning you'll feel we'll
dressed, and what well-dressed woman
does not possess a self-assurance
which cannot fail to bring a certain
amount of happiness?
Suits have taken on an air of in
dividuality which makes it possible
for every type to indulge her fancy.
For some time designers have been
fashioning them along softer lines.
The strictly tailored suit remains a
favorite with many, but there are
women who heretofore SHE'D away
from this type of wearing apparel.
Their personalities and figures, too,
called for lines more feminine, and
their needs have been recognized and
catered to in way that makes it
impossible for them to resist suits
any longer.
II you make wise selection you
will find your suit is far better look
ing on than of. 1t needs you to
make it the perfect style. On the
other hand, it will, if it is the right
ensemble for you, be an inspiration
higher, throw your shoulders back and
step forth with a spring in your walk.
There Is no greater incentive to
proper poise than the well-chosen
wardrobe.
THE accessories to accompany the
Spring suit are as important as
the suit itself, and Dame Fashion has
not limited the choice. Take hats
what world of creation the modistes
offer! Brims, turned up all around,
turned down all around, up in front
and down in back and vice versa, and
close to the crown, exposing the en-
tire side of the coiffure at the left,
and down from the crown on the
right, concealing all the hair. Brims
large and small, and no brims at all
but April and May will be chiefly
months of brims and it is safe to
predict their continuance in favor as
the suns rays make fair ladies anx-
ious to protect their peach-bloom
compilations.
Outstanding in the millinery world
are the straws of every type. The
newest of rough straws is rustic pail
lassons, which Molyneaux revived in
her early collections, and Talbot and
other leading French milliners are
now indorsing Shantung, bakou,
ballibuntl, togo and panama will be
much in evidence as the season ad-
vances. Straws have been given style
interest through the introduction of
new color. Burnt straw and various
string shades are featured with many
shades brown, black and navy are
leaders.
But for all straw's popularity, there
is a very definite indication that fab
RIGS will be much used for Summer
wear. Check and plain taffetas will
be featured by the better milliners
An outstanding ensemble displayed
recently was a redingote of dark
brown with a printed dress in gay
colors. accompanied by a huge cart
same print as the frock.

A HAT fashion which is very new
this season is the pastel felt with
wide brim. Brims four and one-half
to six inches are featured, and they
promise to be high style in the sports
field. Among the new bodies which
have been launched is very light
weight felt which has pebbled sur
face. differing in treatment from any
of the fur felts on the market here
tofore. So light in texture is this new
product that it feels almost like
fabric The French milliners have
used it extensively in their Spring
collections. 1t comes in all colors and
in white, and is imported from
Czechoslovakia.
The capeline hats. which have al
ways been taboo in larger towns, are
being accepted with favor by faShlon-
ables for formal wear in city gather
ings this year. And women who,
heretofore. have waited for garden
party invitations to wear this style
of hat are doing so no longer.
For afternoon wear wear these large
hats will be seen in organdy, starched
laces. linen and pique. The colors
will vary to suit the wearer'S ensem-
BILE. They will be trimmed with flow-
ers, feathers. clusters of fruit and
ribbon bows.
Beach hats, which might be CLASH
fled as capeiines, are particularly in
teresting. They are made of every
conceivable straw, which is not infre-
quently combined with fabric. Or
