Fashion Dictates
Suits for Sprinq

Just moment, milady of fash
ion, question for you to answer,
pleaSe-hoW about chic blouse or
two or more to add to your collec-
ton? For of course now that fash
ion has thoroughly convinced us that
the suits the thing for spring, it's
going to necessitate the accumulat-
ing of a whole wardrobe of blouses,
for that is exactly the up-keep that
a suit season never fails to demand.
Such a bewildering array of
blouses as designers are turning out
this spring is sure to lead to tempta-
ton. Perhaps the most irresistible
Of all will prove to be the perfectly
adorable baby blouse" lace
trimmed and frilled and hand
tucked and otherwise finely hand
worked lingerie types. It's the last
word in blouse fashion is this pretty
,confection of frothy sheer whiteness
and it is treat to see these utterly
feminine blouses displayed in the
stores for they are so very lovely
and it's been such long time since
they held the center of the stage
but fashions spotlight is definitely
upon them for spring and summer.

EOR quite some time there have
been rumors that longer-jacket
suits are coming in, and the big
news is that they are actually Sin"
See several of the latest arrivals
shown in the illustration.
Not that every jacket with every
suit is longer this season for the
legions and legions of nifty now
so-voguish snug-fitting types that so
gally t1aunt bright plaid and wool
stripes atop youthful pleated or
many-gored monotone skirts would
rise up in utter protest to such a
statement. When we say Jackets
are definitely longer" we are re-
ferring to certain models recently
turned out by leading designers that
bring a distinctively NEW" message
in regard to jacket lengths.
In addition to its smart longer
length we especially call your at
tention to the swank boxy lines of
the jacket to the left in the picture.
This is a very new and important
silhouette, one, as you will observe,
in direct contrast to the fgure-ft-
ting basquelike snugness so popu-
lar of late. This striking suit by
Creed in beige and brown wool di-
agonal is one of those to-be-coveted
possessions that underwrite a guar
antee of high-style prestige at the
same time that it registers 100 per
cent perfect from the utilitarian
standpoint. The blouse worn with
it is of green and beige paisley
patterned surah. Jot down in your
notebook the importance of surah
silk this season for both frocks and
the blouse.
Convincingly representative of the
latest trend toward increasing
length for jackets is the suit shown
to the right in the foreground. In
this stunning striped wool jacket
with monotone skirt a lady of fash
ion is sure to appear at her best
wherever her program of activities
may take her during the daytime
hours. Notice the smooth-fitting
shoulders and the manner in which
this patrician tailleur hugs the hips
in perfect precision. It's the way
of the newer jackets to do just this

LET'S TRY COLOR

With the much heralded approach
of the Worlds Fair in New York, the
consciousness of every individual is
directed to the lavish use of color as
emphasized in the fair. The develop
ment of a household color scheme
could be very easily adopted from the
much publicized glamour surrounding
this spectacle of modern science. If
YOU have a drab room in your home,
now that spring is almost here why
not do something about it?
Of course to the average housewife,
any new suggestions must fit into a
budget, but let me tell you how one
friend of mine developed less than
ordinary looking bathroom into one

The bathroom | have in mind is the
average sized apartment bathroom,
the walls of which were originally
tainted a dull off-color beige. Beside
The average fixtures, there were in the
room an Old-fashiOned square table, a
hamper, and in one corner there was
medicine cabinet and over the tub
there hung an oblong mirror with a
wooden frame. The position of the
medicine cabinet was awkward and the
placing of the mirror over the tub
made any attempt to use it almost
futile The problem with which we
were confronted was how to use what
was there to its best advantage and
make important changes at little ex-
noGse.

IGdilY Colorful
Wells on Parade
.Diverting Variety Is Seen in
New Showings.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS


If every veil on every hat worn
this spring and summer be meas
ured yard by yard, how many times
will the yards and yards of yelling
adjoining the new chapeaux reach
around the circumference of the
world-but there, let's not bring any,
thing so ethereal, so enchanting as
the new wells down to statistics.
Suffice it to say that fashion makes
it unanimous this season when it
comes to the motion passed in IA
vor of wells.
The new veil vogue is staging a
play of romance and intrigue and
surprises that keeps you guessing
"what next" in this panorama of
color and charm. First thing fash
ion insists that wells be colorful, as
gaily colorful as bonbons in a candy
box or confetti that f1utters about
on gala days. And next, in arrang-
ing your veil you are encouraged to
take poetic license. You can tie
your veil in sprightly bow at the
back that spreads its loops like a
colorful butterfly or you can wind
long scarf ends about your throat
like an oriental princess. In short,
you can have it all your own way
as to what witchery you will inject
into your veil.
One of the biggest items on the
news bulletin in regard to wells is
the enhancing hats which designers
are fashioning entirely of yelling.
Some of the smartest little sailors
are made entirely of layer upon lay
er of yelling with trim of the same
yelling that leaves a long scarf end
to bring over your shoulder or twist
about in some fetching way. There
/ are also toques made of yelling
wound like rope with huge choux
of the yelling to trim.

TERED Themes in
New Silhouettes

TERED themes give evidence that
the dress designers are searching
for some new means to vary the
silhouette. The tiers, usually three
in number, distinguish the skirts of
some advance spring dressmaker
suits as well as sheer wooden frocks.
The broken TERED treatment with
a straight panel at the front and
back of a skirt and the founces at
either side offers a suggestion for
those who cling to slenderness of
line. The blouse, which has
nounced back. carries gu: a similar
fashion idea

STYLE Notes

'Little girl" fashions hold the
spotlight.
Two-skin sable scarf will be
worn with the new spring suit.
Call is for suede gloves in col
ors to tune to the scheme of
your costume.
Mosaic zippers add exciting
color accent to daytime dresses.
Hats are trimmed with lace
edging to match collar-and-cuff
sets.
A big redingote season, also new
flair for boleros is anticipated.
Soft treatment is the major in
fuence in costume-design for
spring.
New four-way ensemble is
practical buy" with its inter-
changeable items.
White or pastel lingerie touches
with your simple navy or black
daytime frock is big news for
spring.

Pleatings and tuckings done in
novel and original ways abound
throughout the spring fashion pic
ture. The smartly attired young
lady here portrayed confines the
accordion pleated front of her
charming new gown under a stun
ming wide belt, and if there is one
accessory more than another that
fashion is playing up in versatile
moods for spring, that accessory is
belts. For the belt that adds in
finite swank to the costume here
shown, Criterion uses a soft white
kid with an applique of gayly col
ored circles.
