We have had sheath silhouettes, wooden soldier silhouettes and a va riety of plain and fancy silhouettes right on down to wasp waists and bustles. But a silhouette that sug gests a constant tripping along with the breeze has a feeling of movement and Joyousnees about It that is new and very exciting. The wind-blown silhouette for spring has captured the spirit of going forward and get ting ahead that Is so typical ot the confidence with which wo greet this new season. Front fullness ' "Interest at the front" Is the first rule for smart spring coata. This means not only belted fronts, scarf .. aiirl rnvow 1 1 nnci Hilt. ntsA tmnt. lullne&s that carries the line down ward and forward toward a hemline Color and Fabrics ",, Be natural and be gay, or be gay and be natural. Whether you choose ono 01 uia natural suuuee mr spring, in gray or beigo tones; or one of the gay new tweed colors, you're sure urs vs. Fabric The smartest and newest furs blend themselves with the fabric. Pur trim ming may be exactly the same tone as the woolen, or several shades light er. Purs will, be surprised to find themselves dyed navy, new blue and gray blue. Soft light brown and deep tan coats will wear furs In cocoa shades. Beige tones that range up to an orange cast for coating woolens aro not to be left out of this color ful fur picture. Although you may UU iik you'll have to see It to believe It. furs will have an orange com plexion, too. t Sleeves A very new and Important detail is the Bernard sleeve, which slims down to a fitted wrist, but with plenty of elbow room, and may be tailored to fit, or banded tightly with fullness above. Tie Silk Frocks Are Useful. In Wardrobe If you didn't have a tie silk last year, you mfissed a lot , of joy. And tie silks are going to be smarter than ever this spring. They wear, they pack, they never look rumpled. Sim ple lines distinguish tie silk fash ions. For town or Bports you couldn't make a happier choice.. The fabrics for scarfs and bags are stimulants to tailored costumes. Brown with a dash of orange, navy with a dash of red, or black with a dabh of green, in matohlng scarf and bag sets will add just the right touch of spring to dark, frocks and suits. Tie silk patterns offer a wide se lection, but they are neat little color punctuations that always cross their T's and dot their I's very precisely. On dark or light grounds there Is a choice of plaids, tweedy effects, stripei?, checks, dots, or whirligigs that defy definition, but repeat them selves indefinitely, There are horse shoe patterns, too, but do be care ful. Too many horseshoes may .not prove lucky. Knttlhili Colora Brown, green, navy and black cover pretty thoroughly the basic costume color problems, and they are plenti fully represented In the tie silk back ground. The accent) colors ore yours to play with, whether you plan a dress or ensemble, or Just matched accessories. If you feel very English about your tie silks (which la a very smart way to feel.) true English madder colors are grounds for smartness. Instead of the accent color furnishing the; bright spots,' the background goes, colorful. However the, Hark prints tone it air down to a gay but . not! giddy possibility that Is worth con-: side-ring.' ' - " ' ' The .sailor, hat survives in the nydst of all this oJt-the-fn.ee furore.

Plaids are .still ( another possibility Feather bands In a riot' of tropical colors add a dressy touch to sailors for wear with dressmaker suits.

If your jcorf is of taffeta and checked or plajded.lt is bound to be youtbrul, and will be more so If you tie it in with a bow with one loop1 tickling your right ear. Cowl and draped ef fects are smart because they bundle you up at the neck and are a cool way to achieve a very high neckline. Scarfs that match coat linings are the final word in ensembles that are sure to register. These scarfs come with the coat, of course, and there fore there are loops provided tor slip ping the scarf through and tying It 1 Inside or outside -- '' " Chiffons "' 1 : Great big chiffon! scarfs that cover the shoulders completely and tie In front are really little capes that add Just the necessary extra "something" for evening and cocktail wear.
