SPRING BRINGS NEW FASHIONS; HERE ARE HINTS FOR SHOPPERS Straight line Coat With or Without Fur Important . for This Season; Scarfs Again Good; Flat Furs Are in Favor; Frocks Feature Color .and Printed Silks Are Gay The wise woman of fashion goes uuout inyvslintj in her spring aril robe much in the manner of Tlio wise Inventor in ,the stock mar ket. She, like the person who pluytt the stocks, realizes that she must consider her purchuses most carefully . . . for thero are just us many h iK h ways and byways In the fashion market as there aro In the stock market. . Thero are just us many reasons, too, for sudden chants in the mode, but these can be foreseen If one lias an Idea what to look for and how much to con sider the rumors and tendencies that are afloat. How often have you seen a new style launched and seen it quickly bought up by eager spectators? How often have you aeen this par ticular style sent sourlnsr to the heights of popular favor? Some women buy their clothes conserva tively and wisely . . . out oven these do not alwuys find their invest ments gllt-edKed. . That is why we have taken tlio liberty this season of appointing ourselves your fashion brokers. Kor I you we have scoured the fashion I'lnurkets, judging the modo from this angle and consulting with stylists who are in on the ground floor on fashion's tendencies for spring. We have secured some very important information for you which should bo especially helpful when you Btu.rt.ty investing in your spring wardrobe. 8o wo suggest that you read this resume of what is destined to be good for spring und make your selections according to your good Judgment. Mow Ideas In OoutH Let us begin with the couts. Tho straight lino coat with or without fur is the - important coat 'for spring. This will be good news to women who tend towards stout ness as the straight coat hus a slenderixhig effeet that every wo man loves no matter what her pro portions. Thero aro those, of , course, who like the feeling of flares and fullness and for those fastidious women tho designers of I'aris have introduced the flared , silhouettes in coats along modified -, Princess lines. In spite of tho fact yJ that every woman is not ilttvrcsle'd in costumes with tho l'rlncess fooling, we cannot deny that It lias quite an Important place in the - ' modo for spring for we saw it In nit the shops us we took our fash ion jaunt through them tho other day in order to be ublo to gtvo you first hand information us to what is new und authentic for spring. Scurfs Again Important It is our guess that regardh'ss of the fact that scarfs pluyed a very important role In tho reulm of fashion for spring last year, they will be very important for spring this year for there Is something de lightfully youthful and flattering about the flare of a scarf about the throat and women seem luuthe to disregard this fashion feature simply becouse a yeur has elupsed since it was introduced so success fully. Spring would not be spring for some women unless it included In their wardrobe at leust one coat that was enhanced by a cape. I'er liaps that is tho reason that in the stores we saw such new and amaz ing ways of treating the cupe. Wo saw capes that extended to the finger tips and capes that only -came to the elbows and capes that were slipped down the back and cuius that appeared only off one arm, leaving the other one out hi tho cold. Fur less Coats Aro Smart J)o you remember how hard the fuiifss coat fought for favor last spring and summer? This year it seems bound to be accepted by tho wise woman of fashion. We have I a feeling that women aro tired of fur on their winter coats and would like this delightful change which the furless coat undoubtedly af fords. Nevertheless fur trimmed coats are much in evidence in the spring collections In the shop. It is ex pected that fur trimmed coats will bo selected by a majority of wo men, but ut that there is ulways place for one furless coat In any woman's wardrobe. About Fabrics and Color And now wo would like to tell something about the fabrics und colors in the coats. In the family of woolens, kashas without a doubt take the place of first Importance in tho coat realm. The always If'- practical und always smart tweeda hold st-cond plant, with twills and suede fabrics following closely. It Ft ems to us that the stores arc ex pecting a big silk coat business this spring, if a number of coats they are showing this present moment is any criterion. Satin is the lead ing material In the silk coats. Silk crep"M come second, and then there Is heiiguline and moire. Some of these coats are developed fn simple tailored fashion so dear to the heart jof many women. Others in troduce flHn-s and godctH, inserted plaits and many other Interest ing new ways towards producing the flare, silhouette which is ho exceptionally smart in a silk Cent, and so desirable for Kaster wear und the formal functions of spring that follow. There is no getting ground the sTiprrmnry the tans and blacks hold in the coat realm, for both are practical and both are fluttering. , Itiack, of course, is especially ,m C jsortant because of kasha and Ue- ln stunning frocks for spring. Thero is Curfew and Meridian and Matins. We saw ono stunning frock in an afternoon shade called La va tule, another Patou color made especially becoming by its mauve cast, w hile Phyllis is a light but ! lively shade In a new evening color. Beige Is a very important shade In frocks for spring also, especially -when it is combined with brown. There is a new beige shado called Moon-Gold. It is a lovely warm shade and particularly smart when combined with brown. The woman who likes red will have little difficulty In sutisfylus her1 desires for her dress wardrobo for spring. We saw sevcra o.uart frocks that were entirely of ra. ierul urge that comes at this time of the year to present tho best up pcaranee for the world to see.
