red and white accents used on
navy shoes for spring, we can ex
pect to see much red and blue ac
cents on white for summer
Throughout the new mode for
spring there is a definite tenden
cy toward, less extraneous elabora
tion, concentrating all of the gar
ment's nersonality In Its detailing.
Bleere and .neckline treatments,
and well fitting lines. This Is par
ticularly marked in suits and we
find fabrics and tailoring; taking
first place,' with trimmings less im
portant?" It is small wonder that fabrics
have gained so much interest,
when we consider the manifold
beauty of their weaves, the diver
sity of their textures, and the def
inite appeal ot their new color
ings. Never in the history of wool
ens has there been so tremendous
a variety of types adaptable to
women's fashions, and it Is inspir
ing to see the dexterity with which
they have been used this year. .'
.' Let us consider some ot the
more significant materials, and
see the qualities which have made
them worthy leaders of an entire
ly new fashion. First of all, we
have the spongy woolens, . which
have a close curl weave designat
ing them for formal sport types
and Informal town types. -
Crepy woolens, too. are of great
importance, particularly in the
more- youthful types et dressy
suits wtih fur trimmings. We else
find ribbed weaves in a large va
riety ot woolens, tweeds, and
iteds, sometimes sponsoring;
two colors, but most often ene
as do the new diagonal weaves.
Another type- of fabric being;
given widespread usage, particu
larly ter spectator sports wear, la
the double-weight chiffon home
spun' in both smooth and nubby
weaves. In active sport clothes
type, we find that Harris tweed
has renewed attention, particular
ly in monotone weaves, although
we find a similar tweed used in a
four-color nub theme, such as
gray, black, red and yellow, close
ly woven to blend in one orange
toned mass.
There Is also a velvety knitted
I type ot fabric, which, though very
