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

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

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

The .sailor, hat survives in the nydst
of all this oJt-the-fn.ee furore. The
newest sailors are very ' pet and
youthful. They must be. shallow., and
wo.ru at just the .right lilting angle.

to' have a straw sailor .in reserve .for
a complete ' change of silhouette.

Scarf Tricks
Triangles and squares adapt them
selves best to the new ways of wear
ing spring scarfs, but the long,
straight scarf Is still with us. 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

1MCINTS
Prints are very boastful about color
for spring, but the old ravorltes,
black and white o$ brown and white
are no less smart than they ever
were. White accents usually the
thing for these classic prints, al

old fashioned look.
