Tour formal afternoon : frocks
mill doubtless- give you more
.wear this .year 1 than - 'will any
other type-, because they may be
simple enough for town , wear,
yet sufficiently feminine and dis
tinctively - different, to . permit
their being worn for an evening
function, except the decidedly
formal one. Because they , are
longer than the usual drees . . .
because they feature sleeves of
novel design, or. short rsleeves." or
a sleeveless line that prefers to
use a small rape for arm cover
age ... because their trimmings
range from rhinestone buckles to
elaborate minings of lace . . .
because they endorse lingerie ef

early spring, , satin, satin

crepe, and other familiar silks
will continue their - popularity.
There is a newcomer, however,
which promises, to meet with
considerable success not only be
cause of Its novel entrancesin so
cial circles, but because of its
perfect adaptability. We mean
the worsteds which the. world's
best, weavers have given new,
diaphanous texttores -permitting

finely patterned opaque worsteds
in which a cashmere or silk mix

f Black and White
Black and white will of course
hold Its classic position. for the
first days of spring - formality,
and you're sure to want a black
satin frock with the new. lingerie
touches In white. Too can have a
perfectly regal outfit - if ', you
choose a dress with sr touch of
white ermine, or white- galyak.
Though -fur trimming has usually
been associated with fall and
winter, , for i mid-season and

ful contrast. Equally as effective
as white fur on black, ire.tbe
dark furs black, sable-brown,

Gloves Important Items .
This Spring; Available
This Side of Paris Now
WE have always had a passion for gloves, and when rel
atives and friends went abroad we used to beg them
to "bring gloves from Paris, and London" the Parisian
ones with their elaborate trimmings to wear with our dressy.;
clothes, and the English gloves for sport and tailored wear.
But those were the days .when there wasn't terribly much
OI interest -avauaDie nere

modefet prices. Now, Lowever, you
necdi only walk a few blocks to
your favorite specialty shop1 In
town, and you can find the most
fascinating glove styles for every
occasion, , all priced .'remarkably
low, j considering the detail that
goes to make them the origin
ality of design and their long
wearing qualities. "
! Tailored Styles
This spring you're sure to
want lots of gloves, because they,
just as every trend of fashion,
have become specialized for The
different activities of the day. Get
a pair of pigskin" to wear with
your gport suit during the earlier
part I or i the season, because
there's nothing quite go . swanky.
Aslthe; weather gets warmer,
however, yod'll want to change
to lighter . Weight gloves, . and
then you'll find out what wonder
ful things have ben done '. with
fabrics. In the first place, they're
so finely made, that they look
like i suedes, or chamois, and
they're so; easy to kep .clean, that
you. need only have riree pairon
hand, to' . be immaculately ; be
gloved .every single day. .although

with sport and tailored clothes.
Kid For ForsiaHry
For your less tailored cos
tomes, , you'll want to wear kid,
and here's where you'U have a
gay time making your selections.
Whether you choose white, tan,
gray, or black, you will find them
generously trimmed with J the
season's most popular colors, and
you can complement every spring
outfit with a pair of gloves that
harmonized perfectly, because It
has rld. or green, or : blur or
pastel trimmings.
Hats to Match
. Each Suit i Are
Near Essential
To have a complete "wardrobe
of headgear, every, man should
have a hat for each of his suits
of definite color, though he ean
get along with one gray for his
gray cast suits and bis navy blue,
and a tan for his brown suits and
those in the deep shades of green.
Get a cap to wear In the coun
try,' Or for driving, a black felt
or-derby to wear with bis tnxedo,
and one silk hat for the tailcoat,
v "YouH find it a decided econ
omy to have a variety of hats,
because they will ' keep ' their
shape and always look new If you
ehange them frequently, whereas
If you wear one more- er less

- For Coming Season
This Is an age of color,', and
none of us want to deny It, for
In all Its bright forms, It .is ' as
youthful as It is atractlve and Its
proper use can make a smart out
fit out of what might otherwise
be a dull one. ' ' r
Handbags hare more 1 percept--
ibility followed the trend ' for
gaiety than any other . single
accessory, and though you may
think that pink, or baby blue be
long to 'summer costumes, you
will find these, and all the other
pastels in their new tones being
shown for immediate "wear,s In
leathers and fabrics that will
blend with your various types of
clothes. i .
Pastels Popular
Although these pastels are
chic, -they are not, of course, as
practical as the darker type, and
for this reason the black, brown,
navy, deep gren and wine purse
has been given a modern spirit "by
means of. the applique of con
trasting notes on the bags them
selves, as well as in their frames
and clasps. Prystal and galalith,
wooden beads. . and metal chains
and knobs are most .usual trim
mings on the semi-formal, tail
ored and sport types, while
French enamel, - marcaslte, cry
stal, and semt-precious stones
used In picturesque effects, will
be most popular for the formal
daytime costume bag. I
Leathers and Fabrics
'Morocco, Russia, calf.. kid flan

all find their place in your ward

Envelope and pouch ' bags,

DEAS LISTED FOR
EASTER FESTIVITY
There's 'something refreshing
and wholesome about a party con
ducted just as a kiddle's Is, even
though we are inclined to think It
a little silly. But If you're plan
ning an. Faster party, 'and you
start reviving the- games you used
to play, and writing funny things
on your place cards, you'll become
just as enthusiastic about it all
as if you were a 10-year-old
again.
You really mnst have your
ceilings decorated with strips of
crepe faper, and If 'yon can rnn

ric, and In a contrasting color,
than the coat Itself. Printed frocks
In floral designs, plaids, checks,
stripes, and monotones will all
share In papularlfy throughout
(he spring and summer, and the
ensemble Jlcket may . either '' be
lined in that of the, dress., or it
unUned,- trimmed with , a - scarf
collar and cuffs of it, '. .
Sport ensembles in tweed are
alwayt smart, and the four-piece
type is particularly practical. This
consists of a short jacket, a long
er coat, a skirt and. a .'sweater
blouse. This sweater blouse may
be substituted for, a crepe or cot
ton blouse for tailored wear. ,
For. afternoon wear, you may
choose an ensemble with a simple
chiffon -frock,;. the.', Jacket, fur
trimmed. Prints, with short-sleev-ed
frocks .and . lingerie... trimmed
necklines are . quite - appropriate,
too. and will be able to be worn
right through the summer, ,V;' ,,
and' the' dining room for
the
Easter goodies use your decor
actions so that' though each room
Is different, there Is definite
harmony In both. As, for example,
pink and yellow in one, and green
and yeUow in the other. If you
have wall lights, it is a simple
thing to cut out bunnies with big
ears, and paste them over your
brackets, so that the light comes
through the eyes. Have your crepe
paper - streamers twisted and
crossed either from a. central
point in the celling, or all from
one corner of the room.
-Another entertaining Idea Is to
hare a treasure hunt, immedi
ately before you serve your good
ies. Ilave two copies Of a number,
allowing one number for every
two guests. . Let the girls draw
from one set, and the men from
another so that a fellow and
girl are both looking for the
same hidden prize. They draw
blindly; of course, and after the
treasure has been fmmri tfcov

IE LIKE EIDERS'
Fashion' has turned , the tables
this season, and taken an insplra-f
tion for grown-up . coats from
those for little girls. We're refer
ring particularly to ' the f urless,
eollarless type, which was first
seen a few seasons- ago In im
portant Paris collections of jun
ior clothes, and- which, this sea
son have ben adapted to adult
styling..', v . : '
i These coat i are most, often the
dressy type and; are developed in
any shade, from white . through
all the pastels, bright colors, to
the deep tones of green, blue,
purple, red, brown and black.
They are easily recognized as
being of French inspiration be
cause of the liberal use of con
trasting colors for applique - In
floral - and " geometric patterns,
and in bands going all around the
hem, and frequently forming a
yoke of the garment. ,
The JJreesy doet . f
- Next la Interest Is the little
dress coat that does use fur; In
narrow bands, around , the neck
and on the sleeves. The choice Is
usually . beaver, ; though ermine,
squirrel, and caracul are being
more "generally., used. Other at
tractive furs, such ' as - leopard,
burundukl, and tiger are used for
their decorative ; value, and they
are quite effective.
These coats for children up to
eight are most often in the flare-from-the-Bhoulder
line which 'Is
the most youthful of all. 8t-in
yokes of self fabric, outlined with
a tuck, or stitching are also, seen
a great deal, and in buttoning up
to the fur-edge, collar, give a cute,
miniature impression of the Rus
sian type, coat which mothers
wore so much of during the past
season. 4- . '; -
The Belted Coat
The belted coat has its sway
among the younger set. Inst as it
1 has with the grown-ups, and a
moulded line, ending in a run
flared skirt seems Just as flat
tering to the jeune f ille as to her
debutante sister, i -
.Still another version of the
Junior "oat Is that with raglan
sleeves, w&icb Is constantly sain
ing In popularity. These &rs usu
ally in eolorfui, smart tweeds,
and have narrow fur-on-fabrlc
collars of raccoon-
Tbe use of buttons Is being
noted a great deal ' on women's
and misses' clothes, and they
seem particularly appropriate for
the younger set's clothes, as well.
We're particularly fond of a
blue suede-cloth coat that has a
narrow banding of lapin around a
shoulder capeletr and .uses big
buttons to outline the front of
the cape. . . a row, of buttons on
a shaped sleeve that widens at
the elbow, and two big buttons at
the waistline. . -
RAIfJY DAY STYLES
E TO ALL
. Children have always seemed
to loveUhe rain, and we ourselves
can recall some years back when
we .were going to grammar school,
that it -seemed a real Jolly occa
sion when we woke up to face a
pouring rain, and we were all
bundled up in an extra sweater
and an -old -coat, great big rub-,
bers, and were glren dad's um-."
brella, with the caution; not to
leave It anywhere. !
In due respect to ourselves, we
must , admit that that wasn't so
terribly long ago, yet we can see
what a great change has taken
place, and that rainy days have
their particular fashion now, even
for the kiddles. The ensembles
that are being shown are so at
tractive .that we certainly can't
blame small girls for .wanting
frequent opportunities to . wear
them.
With the vogue for vivid color
so widespread, rain coats, la par
ticular dare all, and whether they
are In solid color or not, they're
so bright s to make even the
most cloudless sky reflect a lit
tle sunny hue. . " t- '-; ;
Rather than the solid colors,
however, there Is a dejeided pref
erence for bold designs, ranging
from checks, to plaids, stripes,
reptilian motifs, geometric and
floral . designs and for the
youngest kiddies.i animals, popu
lar .'cartoon characters, nursery
Thyme figures are used.
