Romance in Air
Romance is in the air for eve

els being in the great majority
although few designers, enough
TO make it smart, have adhered
to sleek, moulded Grecian lines.
The gay 90's, the Scarlet OHara
south, Victorian England, have
formed the background for these
enchanting evening gowns, while
for the dinner frocks nothing is
more popular than the gypsy frock,
with a full skirt, separate blouse,
united by cummerbund or sash.
Sport clothes are tailored to per-
lection and emphasized the shirt
maker style which is peculiarly
American, many of the sports
frocks featuring the lumberjack
blouse which made its first bid
for favor last fall. Woolens, silks,
cottons, synthetics are to be found
in all the stores.
Color Predominant
One glimpse into any of the
stores where Women's modes are
displayed is like a glimpse into a
flower garden as far as color is
concerned for this is unquestion-
ably a season of color All the
cyclamen, purple, rose, fuschia
shades are smart this season as
are the greens, particularly the
lime greens and the new navy
green, so called because of its deep
blue cast. Blues and yelloWs are
charming and a new impetus has
been given to brown, which is par
ticularly fashionable and which
ranges from the beige to the Gina

Nations World Fairs Inspire New
Trend TO Modern CIothinq Fashions

From Civil War days, the little
poke bonnets appear once again,
but this years bonnets are wider
of brim SO that they form lovely
frames about the face. They are
tied at the back with great bows
of yelling iii bright colors, or may
have a nodding cluster of flowers
perched high on the crown. From
the entire scope of American
fashions in the past century, are
borrowed the quaint calico and
chintz prints, the quaint flower
prints, and the rustling taffetas,
the petticoats and ruffles that gave

Borrowing from the modern art
of our two great Fairs, as we'll as
from the pages of American his
tory, young American designers
turn their attention to costumes
for the Worlds Fairest women" ."
Dipping back into the days of the
Spanish American War they have
revived the "shirtWaist and skirt
girl with her navy blue suits OF
serge. with high collars that often
break into "frou-frou' ruffles OF
lace and embroidery. Sailor hats
are tied on with wide "streamer
veils' in much the same manner
as the girls of the 19O0'S wore for
their first motor rides.
But the new fashions are differ
ent. They are as sleek and mod
ern as todays city dWeller, Or as
young and casual as today's out
door girl Going back little 1arth-
er, American designers find in
spiration In the little girl basque
dresses of the 1905 and l860's,
tightly fitted to high young bust
lines. buttoned neatly to pretty lit
tie collars and bow necklines, and
flaring into wide pleated or gather
ed skirts. From the 1905, these
young designers borrow the "bustle
bows" without the bulk and an
noyance of the hustle itself, and
drape their evening frocks toward
the back. Wide bows tie on the new
full skirts, like grandmother's ap-
ron. "Bibs' and guimpes appear
once more, for dainty neckwear has
always been a favorite with Ameri-
can women.
