WHAT AN EASTER PARADE II WILL BEL
BY MARIAN. YOUNG
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, March l6.-The
suits. dresses and coats which
march in the Easter parade this
year will be neat and trim, es-
sentially feminine and glamorous
TO the nth degree. It's year to
look like a lady,, curves and all,
and to show some imagination
about your choice of fabrics and
colors.
ManniShncss is out. Strictly tai
lo,cd suits are good, but, this
spring, thew must be worn with
mira feminine blouses, bouton-
nieres or other soft accessories.
Shoulders arc not so over
crown. Revcrs have shrunk in
Size, too. It's best to have suit
with shoulders only slightly pad
ded to make you look nice and
S1ua,e across the top, but not
top-heayy. Look for diminutive
.CVerS, or none.
TUNES. too, have gone with the
wind. Also the idea that one
must get black or navy. These
ore popular of course, but so are
ncigc. other blues, gray. green,
rose and gold. Don't let yourself
oct into = color rut. If you have
worn black or brown all WINTER,
change now. o,,re -,
SKIRTS IL OR Ii INCHES UP
Ck;rts range between II and
IA inches from the floor, depend
ing on your figure and legs; Gen
orally speaking, very fiared ones
arc for the slender. Subtle flares
and pleats are for everyone, how
ever, and much more comfort
obIe they are than narrow,
straight affairs. -,
Unless you have decided on
swagger coat or one of those hi
length REFERS which is supposed
to be full amidships, be meticu-
lous.-just plain fussy, in fact
about fit. The lines from under.
meath arms to tops of hips should
be sleep and trim. Filter Jackets
must fit.
Accessories can match, but you
show more individuality If you
work out n special color scheme.
It's smart to wear brown hat,
shoes. bag and gloves with n
beige suit, but wouldn't it be
smarter to try brown shoes and
hat, bright yellow blouse and
gloves? Remember. always, that
accessories maket the costume. A
twelve dollar suit looks really eX-
pensive if the accessories are
of highest quality and original IN
design and color. BY the same
token, cheap, badly planned
accessory ensemble can make 4
handsome suit look positively
mediocre.
As far as dresses are concern
cd. prints are tops: Y necklineS
vie for favor with high ones; SILK
is the fabric of the hour, sleeves
are short and perky,
Jacket frocks flourish. It's
smart to top a plain dress with a

AS in previous years, the Army has

The Army has also continued the

the work is directly under the super
