Spring Wardrobe
When it comes to spring suits you
can be different and still be in style.
You can't miss on that because
the new suits to be available for
wear this spring make just such a
choice possible. AS to colors, they
range from spicy browns to all shades
of gray.
Skirts (most of them) come slim.
Jackets are whatever appeals to you
long or short, jibsails, and others.
OF course, if you want just an
average suit, you will still be able
to get the good old standby navy
blue. It will have, too, slim skirt
and fitted jacket Or, if you prefer,
a shorter one with fyaway back.
Some of the different" suits, how
ever, are striking. One for example,
features a short jacket fashioned
from imported white Shetland tweed,
lightly checked in large brown
squares. The skirt, of matching
brown, has kick pleat in front.
Another, a suit costume, has a
jacket inspired by riding coat. De-
signed by Vera Maxwell it is stitch
ed sharkskin henna and white with
yellow, pink and green pattern. The
dress is cut like camisole.
Other showings include a gray
on-gray number with a sharply
tailored skirt and a new four-way
suit, which can serve as whole
wardrobe. 1t consists of a print
blouse and skirt and a simple tailored
wool suit. The dress top fills in as
a suit blouse. The suit jacket can
double as topper with print dress.
February, perhaps more than any
other month in the year, lends it
self to informal entertaining, wheth-
er it is bridge party or just an in
formal get-to-gether. The stores
are always filled with such clever
and pretty decorations suitable for
the occasion. | will have to admit,
