It would be almost tragic to wear straight-lines if one could equally well don the more youthful ruffles or pan niers, would it not ? Or perhaps if one contented herself with a plain tailleur and then discovered a jaunty Eton that just fitted one, what a disappointment. Meier & Frank Fashion Salons present such a wonderfully large variety of the newest models that all the new styles may be examined and tried on until each one finds what she really likes best. Among the Latest Arrivals for Easter Are: SILK TAILLEURS Exquisitely tail ored two and three-piece gowns of rosh anara crepe with glove stitching, of trico lette elaborately embroidered, of rich plain faille and natural color tussor. WHITE W60L JERSEY sports suits have just arrived and many customers have asked for them. DISTINGUISHED CAPES and wrap py coats are of navy blue satin with ostrich plume trimming dyed to match; also of . paulette trimmed with narrow bands of squirrel; of beautiful duvetyn with mole and of accordion-pleated serge with elaborate gold stitching. LACE FROCKS arf the latest word for afternoon and evening after-Easter functions. The lace may be in cream color, black, navy or brown. It may be draped over taffeta or satin. It may be combined with plain or flowered georg ette. Lace has been a stranger to fash ion for so long that now when fashion warmly sponsors lace everybody wrants it because it is so charmingly different. FLOWERED GEORGETTE DRESS ES will be worn for garden parties, country-club events and informal dinners all season long. We are congratulating our selves that there is such an enchanting collection of them here. BLACK TAFFETA FROCKS are cer tainly the mode.

Another black taffeta dress has a three tier skirt with two deep flounces of hand run lace on the bodice. But there are so many new fashions that we cordially in vite you to come see them for yourself.
