You will see it in every shape un-
der the sun, big bags and small,
dark colorS and light. One of the
incest things about these new ones
is that they can carry out the vog-
ue for color SO brilliantly. Reds,
green's, bright blues, yellows, vari-
Gus pastels are perfect in patent,
for they retain their good looks af-
ter weeks and weeks of carrying.
Why? Because the leather may be
wiped off with a damp cloth, and
kept as bright and clean as the
day you bought them.
New and smart among the spring
colorS is London tan, or luggage
tan, or saddle. I found different
stores calling it different colors, but
it is all the same to you and me.
1t is glorious shade of tan with
slight coppery glow. There is
nothing that can top it for chic.
Gray bags are seen here and
there. If you have lots of bags,
buy one, for they are smart, but
they cannot be used as extensively
as the other cOlors.
Fruits and flowers i'm gay cOlOrs
grow on the smartest lapels this
spring.
You will be glad to know that
big bags still are smart. And de-
signGrs have found more places for

STARTLING CONTRASTS
IN DRESS ADVOCATED

Color rules accessories There
never has been a season in my
shopping career (and l wasn't born
yesterday when handbags and
gloves and every other accessory
was so busy being colorful. That's
why you must shop with the ut
most care, and assemble your petit
ensemble thoughtfully, with great
regard as to what goes with what.
Ideas in the Bag
There are lots of new ideas in
bags and you are going to have a
great deal Of fun choosing yours.
First of all, top handles are tops!
When they were first shown last
season, women loved being able to
swing bag along when they
walked at a clip :. so don't think
the designers would give up the
idea so soon.> Top handles are in
cluded again, and with a venge-
ance.
The kodak shape continues to be
smart. 1t is a great faVorite with
me, and 1 especially like it with
suits. Another of the newer shapes
is that with cut off corners. This
gives a kind of pagoda shape that
is in harmony with all the other
Chinese fashions.
Patent Leather Important
Patent leather, cleaning and
glowing, is the pet of the season.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-02-26

and more by women in search of
new spring garments.
After the dull dark colors of WIN
ter the riot of gay hues, the bril-
liant prints, the dainty pastels and
the cool white have an irresistible
appeal for women. This year fash
ions seem more attractive, more
Wearable than ever before; perhaps
it seems so every year but surely
clothes this Spring are smarter,
gayer, and somehow more spring.
like and joyous than in previous
seasons. The mode is gradually
changing with shorter, fuller skirts.
squaretoed shoes and the many
novelties that are being introduced.
With her mind all set for new
clothes, all that the smart woman
has to do is set her hat on her head
at the jauntiest angle and sally
forth to visit the local stores where
she will find them ready to meet
her demands for the newest and
the most charming of spring gar
ments.
Every shop is prepared to meet all
needs for all hours of the day and
yet each has distinctive line of
merchandise to make its appeal to
the shopper.
In visiting the shops there were
a few of the many smart garments
which are stocked to meet the
spring needs of valley women.

SPLENDID SELECTION
AT STAHL BROS.

Stahl Bros. in BraWley has a Sc
lection of spring garments which is
unrivalled also.
No spring dress is going to bring
pleasure to the wearer who is Shod
in uncomfortable shoes. StahlS has
a wide assortment of the famous
Style-Eez shoes, which as the name
indicates, are both smart and COM
Portable. These fit the most diff
ficult- please person, feature all

SMART DRESSES IN
DISPLAY AT PENNEY >

One of the smarteSt dresses IN
the collection at Penneys attractive
frocks was one in grey with navy
blue accents. Grey is perhaps the
most modish color of the spring
and when grey is combined WIN
navy. there is a fashion complna-
ton that is hard to beat.
Prints and paStels in SILKS may
he found here and there are some
enchanting cottons. One OF the
most attractive cottons is a white
pioue with trim nautical navy blue
collar. Then there are some
linen suits which are smartly tail
ored and so practical for spring ana
summer. While speaking OF SUITS,
the Congo cloth suits are worthy oil
considerable mention being eXcep-
tionally we'll tailored and of excel
lent material These with white or
colored accessories would make a
perfect summer suit. BY alternaJ-
ing accessories a variety could be
secured which would give the effect
of a number of costumes at little
expense.
Sport jackets for wear with white
flannel skirts or with sport dresses
in navy and brown are fashion re-
auirements this season and Pen
ney's has a wide supply
Coats for every age and every
need, from navy blues to big COL
lection of white coats are found at
Penney's. In this group of coats
are also seen the popular polo coat,
than which there is nothing more
useful.
The very little girls have not been
forgotten either, Penney'S having
some smart gay hued frockS for
| them.

ENCHANTING GARMENTS
AT THE STYLE SHOP

AT the Style shop may be found
many garments, but perhaps the
very smartest and those which
will have their use now as well
as for summer trips are the very
distinctive suits.
Suits tailored as perfectly as a
mans, some perfectly plain, others
with back fullness gathered into
belt, in grey, navy blue, post
man blue, browns are found here.
Materials are gaberdines, tweeds.
pinstripes and herringbones, one
of the smartest being a three piece
suit in the popular gray herring
bone, the long sport coat being
useful as an odd coat as we'll as
part of the suit
But not only has this shop tail
ored suits but it has lovely silk
suits perfect for warmer days. One
window is entirely devoted to that
perennial spring fashion favorite,
navy blue and white. A blue
gaberdine tailored suit, then a
charming silk frock and coat and
an equally smart two piece dress
with touches of white offer a wide
variety of choice.
Hats, bags, and blouses are stock
ed to complete the suits, some in
matching colorS and some in strik-
ing contrast to meet the modes
requirement for unusual and ef-
fective color combinations.
Lovely linens for warmer days
and some devastating dotted Swiss
formals for parties are also fea-
tured at this shop.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-02-26

tricky pockets and envelopes. There
is almost no end to what you can
stuff into the new bags without
their showing a sign of strain.
Crushed goat, pinseal calf, baby
calf, and plain calf in matt and
satiny finishes are the feathers I
liked best, but if you 90 for nov
elites you will find them to your
hearts content.
Glove News
Whatever other kind of gloves
you buy be sure to have one pair
of mannish ones. Cut short =.
one button to be exact, buttoned
on either side of the wrist, or
slashed at the back this is the
short way to glove chic. And these
are the gloves you will wear with
your tailored suits and coats. In
doeskin, there is nothing smarter
=. . . and they are extremely i'm
portant in fabrics.
Doeskin gloves are way up in
front when it comes to smartness.
Most of them are washable, and
there is one simply wonderful vari-
ETY. from England. The leather has
been treated to keep CRIME from
penetrating.
String gloves have enormous i'm
portance. I like them immensely
in all the bright colors . . with
tWeedS, with knitS, with camel's
hair coats, they string along per-
fectly. In this same family l have
seen other crocheted gloves. Some
of them are works of art, done
entirely by hand. They are often
dainty enough to wear with your
very dresSiest afternoon frocks.
Fabric Gloves First
inexpensive as they are, fabric
gloves are tremendously popular.
We have seen them fashioned in all
the smartest styles of the season,
and they are knockouts. You will
find them in every color under the
sun, from darks to lights, from
pastels to brights, in white, and
more and more white.
Costume gloves of fine kidSkinS
are very much in the picture, and
you will find that no other glove
will ever take their place in fash
ion.
Scarfs and Flowers
A scarf goes with almost every
costume this spring. For several
seasons now smart women have
been knotting a silk handkerchief
around their neckS as a finish to
sports frocks and sweaters of all
types. They look chic, they have
a nice silky feel about the neck
they give touch of color that
nothing else will. These scarfS are
going to be more and more i'm
portant. I have seen them IN
hand blocked effects have
seen them imported from England
from Japan and from India. Some
are no bigger than mans hand
kerchief, and must be knotted very
simply. Others are yard square,
and what tricks you can do with
them! You can even wear them
as a blouse!
