The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Orcgcn, Thursday Morning, March 21, 1929 Red Looses None of Its Prominence; Violet Still Is Good By S. E. P. The question of color selection Is one which often perplexes the early spring shopper. One can not go wrong In selecting Jbe me dium grens and soft blues which tare been good for sometime past. Variations of these colors which prevail In the new season's mode are Independence blue and Bon nieblu; In the greens opaque green, which Is darker than us ual, Is very good; also the very smart Chartreuse, which Is being used so much In the east. la the yellows, the soft maixe and deep er brioche wll be most popular, and of course browns, tans, leaf mold, and the always-good beige, will be featured. JtEDS STILL FEATURED Reds have lost none of their prominence, and- the bright shades, especially signal red. will be much used In gowns and hats. Perhaps nothing could be more appealing to the feminine taste in formal apparel than those In shades of violet. Pansy, wood violet and passion flower are the lovely hues which may be com bined os used separately. THE SPRING SWEATER Bright pastel sweaters will not be as much in evidence this spring as heretofore, though plain colors are plentiful. Browns and tans will be in the forefront and these, particularly when carrying a red dish tinge, appeared at this writ ing to be prominent features of the spring offerings. Crew necks are highly regarded In lightweight sweaters In solid color. The V neck Is also popular, especially la sweaters having a ancy effect. Matched sets of golf hose and sweaters continue to hold a good deal of popularity. It Is possible that the toning down in sweater patterns is large ly attributable to the belief that loud stockings have not been as popular of late as formerly. Brushed wool sweaters may be much in demand this spring. Spring-r-lt Is The Time For Clothes, Newest And Finest FABRICS FROCK BASIS S 3 3fc Lovely Colors Predominate in New Goods This Spring SCARF ADDS ITS TOUCH Decided skill Is required to fashion a stunning frock which leans largely on Us own fabric for trimming Interest. This has been done for some time, but that very fact Is sufficient to almost rob the method of whatever orig- lnalty might exist. Yet couturi ers somehow contrive to be ever original In their Ideas. Plain materials, as our endur ing crepe de chine, georgette and crepe marocain self-trimmed, are the media most used in develop lag afternoon dresses, attention being directed to various lovely shades of green, porcelain tones of blue and several bright red. Black Is as usual a popular choice. GRASSHOPPER GREEN HERE mentioned in word from Paris, is the shade In crepe marocain chos en by Germaine Leeomte for the afternoon frock displaying Ingen ious use of fagoting which sweeps down and around the blouse, about the TJ neckline and defines the hips, the points forming the centers from which very full cir cular Insets are attached to the skirt. The cleverness of these fagoted lines Is the suggestion of graceful movement common to the willowy figure. In scarf collar dresses the new est couturier Interest Is 'created by that having one end of a scarf attached to the blouse from waist line to the V neck, and the other and flowing loose and whither It will. In a model of green wool from Bernard the scarf serves as the decorative theme, Its ends In crusted with several rows of con ventional designing executed In two shades of green leather. One end of the scarf in this dress Is attached at the waistline, where It Is' accented by a buckle of gold metal, which fastens the leather belt, worked in two shades of green leather to - match the dress trimming. Several print frocks for sum mer created by Worth also make the most of this scarf Idea. Using a softer material, he extends a gathered band diagonally across the blouse front from waistline to neck, at which point It becomes a scarf and flows out Into a long end, which may be draped in var ious ways to please the mood of the wearer. Regardless of their continued popularity of the winter, prints still hold the couturier- nterest. The combination of contrasting prints contrasted in color rath er than design is seen to some extent. This idea Is well done by Mlrande In a flat crepe ensemble of tree-quarter length coat and pleated skirt In a cream dot pat tern on a navy blue ground, while white dots on pale green form the blouse and trimming.. Contrasting prints and plain colors as well are shown in the realm of scarfs, as In a long scarf collar, one-half of which has white dote on a navy background and the other half has light and dark blue dots on a white silk. Jeanne Lanvin's now celebrated tie la a black scarf collar, bord ered with red satin along one half, the other edged with white.
