BEAUTY and ROMANCE
BY MARIE DOWNING

"In the Spring young mans fancy
riohtlv turns to thoughts of love-" And
With Spring so definitely in the air
these balmy days aren't you secretly
Wondering ways and means to turn
that Certain young mans thoughts to
Yourself? And with competition be-
inc what it is, you have to make the
most of your possibilities to accom-
plish your end.
While beauty is not an absolute
essential to romance, it is certainly a
stepping stone, and with all the mod
ern methods of gliding the lily there
is no excuse of being definitely plain.
Unruly eyebrows can be put in line by
a bit of expert tweezing, lifeless
cheeks and lips can be delicately tint
ed, and there are numerous coiffures
to suit your particular demands. Col
ored polishes draw attention to care
fully manicured nails (be sure they
are carefully manicured before you
risk calling attention to them). A
faint eye shadow at night will make
your eyes look larger and more lus-
trous. A little dash of perfume be-
hind each ear will add mysterious
aura to your comings and goings-
provided it is faint enough to be mys-
FERROUS and not so overpowering that
it announces your arrival before YOU
get in sight.
However, when going about this

Gray and White Is
Late Hat Fashion

The promotion of gray has led to
a very interesting development. To
wear with the modish gray suits and
costumes, milliners are advocating
gray hat fashions. The big news
is that play is being made on
gray trimmed with white. A
tailored felt is banded with white
grosgrain ribbon. Another model in
gray has two white pins thrust
through. The grays trimmed with
white violets or other white flowers
breathe the freshness of spring. A
matching white flower boutonniere
lends added charm.
Toques made all of violets worn
with the new grays also are spon-
sored. Wear a violet hat with a
gray and white print frock, for
among the very newest prints gray
and white is especially smart this
season. A gray and white polka
dot is among the most attractive.

THE wool industry continues its
l. wonders to perform. The story
1t is unfolding during these modern
times of ours is a fascinating one.
To such a high point of achievement
has skill, science and artistry
brought the production of wool fab
ric in the matter of versatile
weaves, textures, patternings and
colorings. A wool material may
mean most anything from weaves
of sturdiest unitarian character to
something as sheer and lovely and
as delightful to the touch as hereto
fore was associated only with deli
cate chiffons and such.
So versatile and comprehensive
are modern woolens they glamorize
the program of fashion throughout
its every phase. An entire ward
robe may consistently be developed
nowadays of woods.
If your appeal needs call for
stunning unitarian coat for sports,
travel and abOut-toWn wear, or for
three-piece ensemble that consti-
tutes, because of its interchange
ableness, a wardrobe within itself,
or if you are feeling the urge for
charming dressy coat-and-dress
ensemble made of eye-appealing
woolens, here they are all three
types pictured in the accompanying
illustration.
The grand and glorious wool
plaids brought out this season are
proving a constant source of in
spiration to designers. Especially
for coats do contemporary style
creators think in terms of daring
plaids such as is shown conferred in

It's White Season,
Fashion Dictates

Crisp white lingerie touches, flat
tering white hats, white jewelry,
white gloves and bags worn with
the navy or black greet the eye at
every turn.
That fashion has a way of defying
calendar datings and weatherman
prophesies has long been known but
even fashion has outreached all
previous records in the matter Of
the early start given white hats
which have really been in good style
for quite some time now.
You don't have to wait to wear a
crisp white pique sailor with your
new navy suit. The accessory en-
semble that stresses white pique for
neckwear and numerous other white
accents has, no doubt, brought
about the acceptance of the white
pique hat earlier than usual. White
pique flowers on your lapel tune in
to the picture, too. Many dark
straws are trimmed with white.

TT TIT,
Hats With Large
Brims Now Appear
Breton Sailor Is Favorite
For Spring Wear.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Contrasting the little flower hats
and the dramatically draped toques
comes hats with enormous brims.
The favorite type is the Breton
sailor. Then there are the big
round Flemish sailors that are worn
off-face. Huge fiat sailors are ap-
proved also.
After the early spring days there
will be an increasing number of
large hats in evidence. While the
brlms are conventional, crowns take
on many novel features.
There is also a considerable Show
ing of peach-basket types, the
crowns towering high with just the
suggestion of brim that flares be-
comingly over the brow. A single
large flower posed at the front of
the crown makes an effective trim.
How will you have your hat
trimmed, with flowers or with fruit?
Milliners are trimming many hats
with fruits that are true to nature
in their realistic colorings.
Clusters of blazing red currants
on navy or black straws are very eff
fective. Tiny yellow lemons nestled
in spring-green foliage trim the new
pastel straws and felts charmingIy.
Cherries on a red felt hat look
luscious"
In one instance a garniture that
combined both flowers and fruit on
a coarse shiny black straw was
most attractive.

The most modern and luxurious of

the group pictured above.
To the right in the illustration see
a stunning three-piece suit with re-
Verslble cape. This patrician mode
was recently displayed in a Ber-
muda showing of voguish travel and
cruise outfits styled of outstanding
wooden materials. The significant
thing about this thoroughbred mode
IS that it is in line with the thought
that exists among world travellers
who recognize the supremacy of
strictly all wool fabric when it
comes to going places by land or
sea. The check of the Jacket is
repeated in the four stripes set in
the skirt. Having a cape, a jacket
and skirt three-piece of this
type is adaptable to all sorts of eli
matte conditions at the same time
that 1t carries the stamp of style
distinction wherever it goes.
The sentiment for refined and
ladyllke fashions, so all-prevailing
this season, is admirably expressed
In the attractive coat and dress en-
semble shown to the left. The idea
of long wool coat in a subtle pastel
color topping a dyed-to-match crepe
dress is meeting with widespread
favor. Sunburst tucks are effective
ly employed on both the suavely
fitted coat and the prettily fash
Toned dress underneath. Note the
longer gloves crushed at the wrist.
The toque is color matched to the
ensemble.
Speaking of this seasons coats
the widespread flair for gray re-
fleets in long coats of gracious prin-
cess lines. Often these are sans
fur, but if fur is employed a lux
urious gray fox collar is apt to be
choice.

One of the smartest, newest print
silks brought out this season is pat
termed in alternating narrow and
wide bayadere stripes in lace eff
feet that is so realistic it takes more
than second glance to be con-
vinced that the printed stripes are
not actual applied lace landings.
Flat silk crepe printed in narrow

lace effect is used with distinction
for the afternoon dress here pic
tured. The lacelike stripes are in
terrupted with medallion motifs in
cerise, turquoise and white against
a black ground.
