What -Shirley and Jane Affect ini Movies " 1 Everything about the , new spring clothes for the younger members of the family is delight fully simple, irresistibly colorful, - and refreshingly new. Choosing a spring and Easter wardrobe for . the youngsters can only prore a delightful ! adventure, both for parent and child, i- With so many clothes specially designed for little screen stars, any little girl can be glorified as uell as Is her favorite young ac tress. Shirley Temple, Jane With ers, Anne Shirley. Virginia Weid ler all lend their names to clothes designed exactly) as their personal garments. i Little Princess 1 In the very small sizes, i all coats follow the princess sllhou : ette with neatly tailored collars. , and velvet bindings or. facings. Tiny capes have sawtooth edges ;.- or wide - bindings, two sets of pockets appear at chest and hips. and buttons are used in single or doable rows. In the older sizes. the reefer influence seems to be . f favored, with neatly notched -revers, narrow belts, and tailored accents In the form of rows of stitching, ; slashed pockets, wide pleats and youthful gored sec tions. ' , -i Salt-Conscious The boys aren't left out of the fashion picture either, and with - the tradition of fine English tail oring, this season there is a coro nation coat for boys in classic reefer jtyle, with an emblem em broidered on the sleeve in shiny gold! - 1 Girls are suit-conscious ! too this year, quite as much as their mothers; and for them, the best liked styles are the tunie suit, a very youthful style with just enough 'swing' to the hemline of the long jacket. Among the tricky accents are novelty but tons and belts, contrasting ascot scarfs, and "swing" skirts with gored sections for freedom. All in Print 1 Prints are just as popular as they can be and for some strange reason,1 young people are tremen- - dously fond of dots. Little dots and big dots, scattered all over lovely dark grounds and bright ' grounds. There are-Jots of, white accents to these dresses, to carry.; out the white of which the dots usually are. Little-boy collars are very tailored but there are fril lier types too. and one of the cutest teen-age dresses Is com pletely outlined in white to sug gest a bolero packet. From the Tyrol The colorfalness of .the Tyrol Is seen In all' sorts of embroidery and darling ; print motifs; - but most Interesting , of- all Junior dresses Is that adopted from the peasant dirndl. It has a nicely fitted bodice short puff sleeves, and a skirt gathered to much fullness at the waistline, the skirt lovely and; yards-around the hem line! For more sophisticated big sisters there are very charming, crepe dresses with the softest, most feminine details in the. way of bows and sections of , shirring, flared skirts i with dainty scal loped and zigzag hemlines and the trickiest of sleeves. Quite , the most attractive sleeve of all Is puffed so that it looks heart ; shaped by means of two peaks outlined in contrasting piping and tapering to a point. Oriental Turban Is Smart Choice ! Very bright in their multicol ors, are the iff-the-face turbans which twist and Wind in Oriental style, and made of paisley, ihallis, or other printed fabrics. In solid colors, to,' these turbans are mart choices, and the fact that t key are "in to stay" is proved by the Showings of summer, mil linery by manufacturers; w h o are making these same turbans; bat with open crowns! There's something about the pill box that makes many women devotees of this comfortable. easy-to-wear style, and for those who like, to wear veils, this is the perfect foil for them. The "trlcorne gives a newer dash to the pillbox, and is a lovely salt type. i Details I JTew knitwear offers dressmaker details tn a new collar, soufx sleeve and a wing" skrt.

Don't yon love the graceful,; flared sleeves, and V-aeckline that may be high Coronation Dominant-Factor in All Spring Styles; Evening Gowns Copy Those British Peeresses Will Wear FOR months now; the coming coronation has been front page fashion news. All the vivid heauty of coronation colors and the elegance of furs and fabrics are directly traceable to the luxury of a coronation. Evening gowns have been copied'frora those that British peeresses will wear. Even the wedding gowns that will be worn by brides of the Eng lish nobility are being adapted for use elsewhere. It is not often that a new king; comes to the greatest throne in the world, and fashion designers ' are quick to make The most of it. : The Coronation in Print Spring brings with it always a whole flood of delectable prints. No woman's wardrobe is com plete without at least one print dress. We're all Sa tired of drab, solid colors that the gayety of prints never fails to captivate us at this time of the year. Very amusing are the new cor onation prints. Every symbol of the vast British empire is seen splashed all over j new fabrics. There are crowns galore, the British ' lion, curling ostrich plumes, and, believe it or not, copies of the coronation coach itself! Even fashion designers hate to" forget the erstwhile King Edward, the Eighth. His brief but hectic reign has been more or less immortalized; in printed fabrics that bear his crest, even j his title. Sentimental? Certainly, but charming. ' j Feathers in Your Hair Not since the lavish elegancies of the very gay. '9 0s has there been such a vogne for wearing plumes as headdresses. Many lovely coiffures are ! seen with perfectly gorgeous fronds of curl ing feathers waving coyly above the curls. Lillian Russell herself wore nothing lovelier than some of the plumes we've seen at fash ionable functions. The mode for these feathered conceits is di rectly associated with the ele gancies of royal I courts where plames have always been a defi nite part of woman's court re galia. ; ! ! . ;. . , Depressions and Coronations Certain it is that'the combina tion of a coronation year and the definite end of the recent world wide - depression j has - brought about a luxury in fashions that hasn't been seen for many a year. Furs are richer, fabrics are more luxurious, . coats and dresses are cut with a lavish hand. Gone are the skimpy shirts, i and drab, un interesting colors and plain, un exciting fabrics of the depression "Bolero; Is Popular -Without a doubt, the one fash- ton type to gain ; the strongest hold this season is the -bolero, which is very youthful. And it is interesting to note that act ually there Is nothing "new" about the bolero, because it is one of the traditional fashions In Rumanian, Norwegian. : Spanish. Jngo-Slavian, Moravian,' Swedish, Hungarian, Czecho-Slovakian, and the recently popularized Dalmat lighted by a festive flower? See how the waistline is nipped in by clever darts that assure perfect fit of the elongated bodice. So easy to make that you'll stitch up several versions!

Most obvious - of all the new trends in neckwear . is the more fem inine trend, which "characterizes so many phases of the spring fashion picture. Although high necklines are preferred for every suit wear, there is an indication that the slightly lower V-neck-line will often be a . youthful choice. ' In the more tailored styles, which are Invariably -white, but can also, bo had in a limited choice of pastels, the favored fab rics are pique, crepe and linen; and the characteristics are either in that they are perfectly plain, or simply accented with Irish lace or possibly fagotting. The frilly types of neckwear which are in the majority particularly to emphasize the more feminine tendencies of tailored suits are made np in such delicate fabrics as linge de sole, plain and em broidered organdies, mousse line de sole, georgettes, and the daint iest laces. And whereas tailored neckwear is predominantly white, frilly neckwear is seen in Ins clous shades of pink, - yellow, ecrn, and the deeper jewel tones. Art Interest The same popularity in neck wear Is seen as resulted in mil linery from the film Rembrandt, and from the exhibit of Ruben's paintings In Paris, and in neck wear it takes the form of wider collars and deeper cuffs, and col lars often extending slightly be yond the shoulders. Peasant Influence still con tinues in all phases of fashion, and in neckwear may be recog nized in lovely embroideries and effective borders, styled mnch as are-the festive native costnmes taken out and worn for holidays. In the softer, dressier blouses, jabots and frills are very well liked, because they can be so flatteringly revealed by the suit jacket openings. Hand detailing is seen much more generously than heretofore, particularly fagotting- and delightful embroidery treatments. Most colorful are the Tyrolean themes In.- these em broideries, as well as la appli ques, heart-like buttons, and con trastingly colorful bindings. Handbags Roomy, j j Unique in Shape l What handbags have given us in size they've well made np for in roominess by way of their in teresting shapes. It has definitely been proved that the softer hand bags don't lose their shape as do stlffer ones, so that most of the bags have their dressmaker char acteristic, and almost all of them are quite broad at the base. I The most strikingly new hand bag silhouette is the vanity shape, which has box-like contours and can hold all that any business woman can possibly accumulate! What with all the favoritism be ing shown fabric shoes, naturally fabric handbags have to be on hand to harmonize with them, and without doubt, gabardine is the smartest of them, chiefly with patent leather accents such as the shoes have. re sent - SUITS - SHOES Smartness - Design and Quality 10.98 to 19.73 9.73 to 19.73 ,l .
