i ; fc-l-Tho Stitmota.' Safcnv Oregon, Siinddf; Tmbnuxxj 19. 1950 'Item f&r titgir flto.iH ; Easter Suit Advised vith Double uty Jacket Now Fashions Shown By Mrs. Genevieve Smith It's another suit spring, de spite the fact that at the be ginning: of the season they have been somewnai o vershadowed by resort wear and dresses generally. Now withe, the ap proach of Eas ter April 9 both suits and coats are coming Into their own. As a careful wardrobe plan ner, you recog- Mrs. ftmltfc nlze all the good looks, versatili ty and good service that auit offers, particularly for the busi ness woman. With the fashion for separates continuing as strong as ever, a suit becomes an even better investment, since the skirt can be teamed with so many different blouses. Put not too many! there are limita tions to the wear that even the toughest wonted can take, espe cially if you choose narrow style. -.v. v ... , This year there Is a grand way out of this dilemma via the ex tra skirt route. You! have ob served, of course, the popularity of fabrics with a weave, pattern or check that introduces several colors. For example, these 6ft en are in soft gray with two shades of pink or blue woven in to give a muted color effect. Ergo, choose a suit style that will per mit you to wear at least one oth er skirt with it If it Is such a check, then select a solid color skirt, correlate blouse i and ac cessories accordingly. ; The sane olan works with snaky of tho magnificent men's wear saltings in light colors, which are eftea accented with, a dees tone stripe. This com binaUea Is always popular ' with the discerning male. The tweeds, which incidentally are appearing' in many j especially rich and beaatifal color effects are especially adapted to this extra skirt Idea. So are the soft flannels. -.:'..( -j In fact, you may be able fo buy two-skirt suits this season, since at least one manufacturer Is beginning to make them. If you are making the extra skirt,, why not use deep inverted pleats for variety's sake . . . or' a pleated skirt? The four-gore skirt, cut with considerable flare, so that it suggests the cir cular effect, is another excellent skirt to team with an appropri ate Jacket. Choose Designs for Long Life- Of course, your suit styles fall into three general types the . classic, the dressntaker and the silk' suit,, such as faille, ot- toman and the other weaves with pronounced ribs. The question is ; which is Jour type, and which fits best ito your wardrobe? , The classic this year is being, overshadowed a 1 bit ; by the dressmaker suit we are talk ing about the real suit with a lined jacket that can be remov ed. This is due in part to the tremendous .upsurge of silk print dresses wjth wool Jackets an other good bet for your Easter, wardrobe, particularly if your present career lies at home in stead of in business. The classic suit is virtually undated, If yea make a good choice. Toa are going to see ft grew mach stronger than It is new. It Is coming la with beaatifal line and : tailoring shoulders nicely , fitted with padding enough to give a good bat not exaggerated line... I with the natural waist line Ae- i fined bat not sneezing-Ucnt ... with simple, close-fitting sleeves. A very: fresh, new lino to appearing, j too a long, man's dinner Jacket lino that slashes narrowly to the waist, where the coat b caught with a single button. Of tea the seaming of the front asea that lovely carve Into the armecye, which is particularly good for most flgnres Many of the skirts are narrow others aso various types of pleats, espe cially those la the back sach as inverted pleats, for con cealed fullness. For the younger figure, even the classic ripples away into peplums, not too exaggerated in wools you want to wear a long time, of course. Both these styles will have a long fashion life, be cause they are new and they are good in their simplicity. I Another popular classic idea that is being continued is the front buttoned many buttons up to a narrow shawl or little boy collar. i If you have the youthful slen derness and height for it, one of the excellent buys of this sea son is the suit with a box Jacket or topper. There's a difference the box Jacket Is an integral part of the suit; the topper may be of the same fabric, the same pat tern in a coat weight, or a con trasting solid color. In either case, choose your box suit for all sorts of mix and match wear Including prints and patterned dresses it you select a solid color coat. These suits, for the most part, are designed with jackets or itoppers for Just such double duty. ,-; f . Of course, with your elassls salt, yoall wear a lovely lin gerie blouse for Easter, topped with equally important acces sories that carry eat the feel ing of an Important occasion. Yoall select a variety of col ored blouses and coordinated accessories . for basinets also keeping ia mind the comfort to be f oaad la opea necks and short sleeres. If year classic salt has . the asaal set - in sleeves, yea will not select a butterfly bloase because the sleeves simply won't fit com fortably into a conventional salt Jacket or coat dressmaker suits, always fem ; mine, always pretty, are usually ess4xpensive than the classic because they do not demand the perfection of tailoring and the exquisite quality of fabric. Woolens adapt themselves beau tifully to the detailing because of their softness. This season the dressmaker suit is designed espe cially; for youth, it seems. A thousand versions of the bolero and bellhop jacket are appear ing. Very popular, too, is the simple jacket with a rippling peplum . . . a type that is flat tering for the mature figure, pro vided the peplum is long enough and not too exaggerated. If you crave variety,, choose your dress maker suits ! in less expensive fabrics. In any case, do not ex pect them to be as long lived, fashion wise, as a classic. Coats in a like manner, you can achieve more variety in coats if .yea supplement your basic spring coat with short coats, including linen or one, of the heavier cottons lat er on in the season. Bnt again, stick to the classics, either fit ted .or straight, for long ser vice. Remember, too, that spring coat fashions are always more varied and shorter lived than winter coats. Among the classic types there is a revival of the Tuxedo, a par ticularly happy design for a coat and suit ensemble. This ensem ble, incidentally, is another idea that is gathering strength after a considerable period of quies- cense. It is particularly good in tweeds and In checks combined with solid color or with the top coat made of reversible mater ial. Very new and effective is the use of linings in bright color contrast. r (Copyright, 1950.
