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.

Clothes, Newest And Finest

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.
SPEAGER IS PART OF
THE SPOUTS OUTFIT
Colors Brighter and Gayer
Than Ever Before With
Pastel Shades Out
By 8. E. P.
The sweater Is lndispensible
this season for the woman Inter
ested In sports. Colors In these
Jaunty article no longer run to
the delicate pastel shades but are
blighter than ever, with orange
and black or tan combinations
featured prominently. Green and
wood violet shades are very good,
and dark blue will be much used,
though the latter Is usually
brightened with a touch of red.
There are some very sporty num
bers with futuristic trimming In
harmonising shades. The crew
neck is highly regarded in the
sweaters of solid color, while the
V neck Is popular In the more
fancy type. A wide suede belt
adds just the right touch to most
of the slip-on sweaters.
Variety In the sport costume Is
introduced In the form of the ever
useful short Jacket. The blazer
stripe Is better than ever this sea
son, and there are some daringly
swagger effects in jthe smaller
"Mexican stripe" In brightest of
colors. These, as well as the
sweater, may be worn with a har
monizing sleeveless sport dress,
or with one of the eleVer wool
skirts which are Visually pleated in
novel fashion. "
