The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning, March 21. 1823 ACCESSORIES FEATURE Just the Right .Touch Added to Costume by "Extras" JEWELRY EFFECT USED v The Importance of the accessories to milady's costume must in no wise be minimized. Each email item contributes Its bit of smartness to the aopearance. The bag, .flower, or even the kerchief which is off color may prevent an otherwise charming; ensemble from its effectiveness. For the young girl even more than for her older sister it is es sential that feet be perfectly shod, tnd that other accessories be ia Kood taste. Not only the child, hut her mother is judged by her appear-tnee.- and too high heels, too fancy ihoes. too ornate a hag or neck' laee may well blight a promising toclal career. Of course, the shoes for Tery little persons are classic In type, severely simple, well cut and of sturdy materials. For even with best intentions in too world they m'mt -stand many bumps and scrapes, and emerge triumphant rrom a good polishing. For everyday theje is nothla; better than the plainest of ox fords, its only concession to fash ton being a saddle of contrasting leather. In all-brown, beige and brown, or black and white, here is the perfect shoe for one's play and school. OEM FANCY HAS HISTORY An interesting story lies back of the present fancy for handsome pendants hung from silver chains or black silk cordi Carving semi-precious stone3 in whimlscal designs, a young research .chem ist sent his wars to a metropol itan shop, where they Immediate ly evoked 'the interest of women seeking novel pieces of eostume Jewelry. A tremendous rogue has sprung from one young man's iilea. The work is honest and pure, which explains its unprece dented demand. SCARF t'SK TAIUEf Square scarf styles ere worn in farrinating ways. A new sugges tion from Paris is two sqnares jo'p.ed together at the corner, thus making a double diamond shaprd scarf. White crepe hand kerchiefs spotted in red and bin? are bordered in solid color, one in red and the other in blue.. To dan such an affair, the scarf 13 j caught around the neck with a short end and a long end. the two thrust through a rlns at one aide and the long piece extending down the front of th frock to fall Straight -and slender does the spring-time suit or. dress make -oi seem. The outline of the figure Is preserved in its slimness to a point well below the hips, where the flaring line, pleat or fullness is contrived in' theakirt. Naturally, this is exaggerated In evening gowns. Just as H has been for many weeks to present silhouette distinctly different, more picturesque and graceful than that of day wear. Such full ness, although present in ensem bles and dresses for the daytime, U often but slightly noticeable. The two suits pictured seem al most scant in cut, but the same frenal flares apepar in the skirt. Before digressing from the sub ject of suits, there are a few style not only makes the coat collar In the suit of beige tweed, but the belt as well, and rather a wide on at that. The second point i3 the frflli ness to which the blouse design ers have resorted in the pursuit of feminism In dre3S clearly ex points In the two shown here that are worthy of calling to your at tention. One is that beige fur emplified in the blouse of white batiste, which is the piece dere Mstanee of the dot printed coat and eklrt of piqne. Ruffles, pleating? and flat ef fects in frilly collars that aTe definitely characteristic of spring In the year 1929. If you like them you may wear them with smartness to your heart's con tent. If you do not care for them these furbelows are not the on ly tokens of style. . Cottons you need no longer question, for this season they are assuredly smart for sports, for afternoon, and are seen in 'eve ning assemblages of fair women. A few fashionable metropolitan women have appeared in evening gowns of dainty -and exquisitely fine cotton. One reads occasion ally of their being advocated for formal occasions by the fashion wise In other lands. This vogue, however, U but a flash in the pan, perhaps a mo mentary fancy, although it ia easily conceived that fine batiste, organdie and the life may be an usually popular for summer nights. There are many fabrics compet ing for place In the spring formal mode, such as plain and printed chiffons, flat crepes, lace and warp printed taffeta. Illustrating the charm of the last named fabric is the evening frock pictured, its skirt flaring' with abandon from snug fitting hip. It is representative also of the types of designs seen in num eroua prints for formal wear. large and bold, tboush sometimes quite subdued in color. A prtslmatic array of color was noted at a recent showing - of spring apparel, the primary colors presented as unrelated harmonis ing tones and consisting .of a bue with a purple cast, a soft green a rose rone and an orange shade, the last "predicted as one of the smartest colors for spring. PIMME IT THIS SPRING Varieties Run From Dainty Dedicate Chiffons to Saucy Pclka Dots EDITOR'S XGTE Not content with descrip tions from afar of i!e newest and best in spring wearing apparel. The Statesman had ths stocks of Salem invest!- gated by Us own reporters and described for its read- era. The fallowing article la authentic and describes ac- tual goods found In Salem's own stores." Yes "Paris says prints." The print is a versatile mode, for there la a type 'of print to suit every individual taste. Even the most demure may find something which win not be too conspicuous in the darker tones, with back ground of navy or black. There are prints in soft, delicate chif fons for the extremely feminine type, and there are dashing, color ful prints and saucy polka dots and plaids for the woman who dares to be extremely a la mode. The print adopts itself to dresses and ensembles of various types, the most popular featuring circu lar effects. For formal after noon and evening ensemble, when the return to. frills and flounces emphasizes the charm associated with aH that is truly feminine, there are large and more striking prints the exotic florals and de signs characteristic of the modem trend. Dut this season motifs and colorings are mellowed so that they appear subtle rather than dominant upon filmy chif fons and indestructable chiffon voiles. Combinations of print and plain material are especially noted in the ensemble. Smart sleeveless frocks of plain silk are often combined with printed Jaeketa with plain color trim, or the com bination may be reversed to pro duce a still more subdued effect. Yelows, Chartreuse, preens and reds and blues are perhaps the most used colors for these outfits. ROMAN" STRIPES APPEAR Who does not love gipsy-like Roman stripes with their flashing colors and suggestions of things gay and carefree? Spring's girdles and sashes will carry this color ful accent among their contribu tions even sponsoring them for use with the simple evening frock. Shoes May. be Stylish in Spite of Comfort Ideals Fortunate, isn't it. 1 that the makers of corrective 1 shoes hare decided that women, continue to be style conscious In spite of the fact that they may be wearing shoes with built-in arches. t For so long they seemed to think that a woman with hurting feet was la scch a desperate state- of mind that she Immediately lost all thought of appearance. Where once It was "possible" to Identify a corrective shoe as such as far as one epuld aea it, we now defy anyone to distinguish It from any other type of shoe unless It is put on or taken up in the hand and examined, for special 'fea tures of construction. The same colors, the same cut, the same leathers and trimmings that are found in any other type of shoe can now be found in the corrective shoe group, -except that no one high spike heel is ever Included by this division. Where once the. idea seemed to be that Che darker the shoe the more inconspicuous and therefore the better concealment of one's foot ailments. It ha3 now been discovered that light colors In neutral tones are sometimes less noticeable against the pavement background, thao a black shoe color range Is now open to the shoe that Is made especially to support's, falling arch. CUT ALSO. CONSIDERED Cut has "also been considered. Where the oxford, tie was once the standard style for tho arch sup port shoe, one now finds strap, oxford and step-in models. Soft materials are used and the shoe Is entirely flexible except for the arch, where support must be pro vided. Certainly the woman with feet Jhat must be pampered has no longer a single excuse for com plaining, since she can now find a smart corrective shoe suitable for any hour of the day and in a col or to harmonise with any of her costume ensemble. New Elegance Seen In Spring Hats; Trend : Is Away From Felts To Exquisite Straws Six Accessories Requisite For Formal Costume; Pick Must be Made With a Care IN the externals of formal dress there are six requisite ac cessories to chic. Wraps, bags, shoes, hosiery, doves and jewelry loom with sueh power to make or break the ensemble com plete that no lady can afford to choose in s haphazard manner any more. One, does not fall in love with- a bag or jewelry and wear It "just because." It sim ply must belong or the result is nothing. The construction of the formal eostume entire up to the nth de gree of perfection demands no lit tle study, observation and weigh ing of the pros and cons of one accessory's relationship with others. There Is considerable leeway offered ia this feminine indoor sport of assembling smart apparel for wear after dark. First, let as note the possibilities in fabrics for gowns and their variety ia textare and color. PLAIN" CBKPJE FASHIONABLE Plata colored flat crepe is fashionable; printed chiffon in a large patera Is Interesting; solid colored chiffon and open mesh net and lace are three other mod ish materials with which to ex press one's individuality. Wraps will tend toward the shorter as the season emerges in to real spring. Trirparent vel vet already Is arriving in numer ous versions; the jacket of se quins or lace remains a favorite, while the newest expression of the capelet is a short one of lace j or chiffon tied about the throat. Daintier and more beautiful become the slippers designed for the evening. ' Crepe de chine models with tiny straps, trimmed la a bit of silver or gold and dyed to match the costume, are exceedingly fetching and quite the shoes of the moment. "With these sunburned tone hoisery is consid ered smart. Sheer hose In melon shade blends agreeably with alippers in brocade, the color harmonious to the frock. The satin pump with a plain or colored rhinestone bnskle is charming with sheer hose in flesh tone. LONG GLOVES WORN Long evening gloves of white glace kid are worn again for form al dress, and their revival this season hints of their being firm ly intrenched by autumn. Not only are white gloves considered chic, but the pastel tints are seen and are merely an echo of the vogue for pastels In frocks.
