One woudpr why they ay "In the
apiing a oung man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love," as it the
young man were the only one who
felt thuBly. There ia with it an impli
cation that he turns to thoughts of
clothes, too. Re that as It may, the
young woman's fancy usually turns
in the same direction, whether she be
at the ripe old age of four years or
has acquired the stately dignity of
ten.
- And to fit her every mood and
tense the spring fashions are offering
her new costumes for every occasion
for play, for school, for parties, and
ail times between. Some prefer to ex
press simplicity, others, individuality,
and still others are only interested in
that which is practical.
or the attention or the latter, are
extremely siuurt new ideas in sailor
blouses, with their crisp pleated skirts
for the school girl. An attractive dress
in a tailored effect is a white blouse
costume with a tucked front anil a
frill of pleats on its collar fand cuffs.
Its skirt Is dark plaid serge In pleats
with a flat girdle of the same mater
ial. For her younger slst- who are
still having difficulty with the prob
lem of walking, there are all kinds of
pretty rompers, percale, gingham and
: ohambray, with white pique for state
occasion!.
Where one especially wishes to ex
press Individuality, there are Jersey
and Jap crepe smocks. These lend
themselves to hand embroidery in col
ors, and are widely varied in decora
tion. In fact this season shows hand
embroidery on crash, poplin and ev
en on dotted Swiss dresses, j
If you are a "sub-deb" you will be
much Interested In a flesh tinted voile
smock, with embroidered sleeves,
sashed with moire ribbon. Its little
high neck is open and tied with cord.
What shows of the skirt is mainly
an embroidered panel.
' So much depends on the function,
you are about to attend w hen It comes
to selecting a costume these days. A
really appropriate toilette for the
young' Indies' annual spring Jump
rope and skipping contest is a serge
school dress, covered by a practical
and yet quaintly decorated pinafore
showing a pink goose and a black
cat rampant. On the other hand if
you want to feel correct at the scrul
weekly tea party of your Kewple
Dolls, you will naturally wear a lace
and net pinafore especially if it has
a bunch of cherries on one shoulder
and is tied with black velvet ribbons.
Gingham dresses are popular for
year round wear. The combination of
pluid and plain materials continues,
with vacations in their use. For the
miss from four to six years a happy
thought for spring is a belted dress
with a pleated frill for collar and
cuffs. The yoke and sleeves are white
with the skirt of gingham. Its narrow
belt la run through the front of the
skirt and neatly buttoned In the back.
This young lady may enjoy wearing
a sand colored coat of taffeta over it
and a close' fitting hat with a turned
up brim.
For the younger set, turned up j
brims are the very thing, preferably
ribbon hats faced with hemp in sports
colors. For dress up affairs, a shade
hat of georgette and straw with pi
quet ribbon loops is correct. A poke
bonnet shape charmingly frames a
youthful face, and is made of gros
grain ribbon and trimmed vlth wool
en balls. Where a floppy brimmed
hat is becoming, rough straw with a
big bow atop, and facing of georgette
fulfills a promise of spring.
For party dresses and graduation
there are charming frocks of organ
dy, net, lace and chiffon. Wide lace
flouncing makes up In pretty style.
Ruffles and sashes continue to be
popular, the fluffier, the smarter the
costume is. A sub-deb will enjoy a
little printed voile, with organdy col
lar and cuffs and a velvet ribbon
sash.
Among the markedly unusual com
binations was a challis smock with a
scalloped hem worn over taffeta-
bloomers, this for a four year old. For
an older sister, a lavender chambray
school frock had its pockets and cuffs
button holed with khaki yarn and,
oddest of all, a knitted khaki belt
to match.
Paris Fashions
Revise Chigron
The new style of hair dressing laun
ched by. Parisian establishments reviv
es the big soft chignon pinned low on
the nape of the neck.
Parted on the right side of the head
the hair is Crushed back In soft waves
forming' a beautiful and becoming
frame to the temples and brows. It is
a far cry from the short "bobed" locks
of the past two seasons.
Straw Hats Grow
More Fashionable
Straw hats are growing more fash
ionable. Straw hats, that is. made of
straw throughout, and not straw
brims with silk crowns, or straw
crowns mounted on fabric brims, such
as have been worn for the past few
years. The reason is. of course, that
straw braids are becoming available
again, now that war days are over and
all-straw hats are again a posibillty.
Most women took the shortage of straw
in nam very comioriaDiy; they were
far more concerned about having to go
wunout mien suits and frocks in slm
mer time. row, however, both linen
and straw are becoming "plentiful again
and that does give a new lest to sum
mer dress preparations
To Hold Pleats
In New Neckwear
The girl who hesitates before the
frilly pleated col'.uv and cuff set at
the neckwear counter because of the
difficulty In laundering it will be in
terested in this simple way of holding
the pleats In place during the process.
Lengthen the stitch on the sewing ma
chine and loosen the upper tension and
then stitch the pleating close to the
top of the hem. Do not remove the
threads until after the pleats have
been Ironed. The threads will then pun
out easily without leaving a mark, and
the collar and. cuffs will appear as
iireii uuu ciean as it done up t uj
r i-tMicn launary.
