of these clever cape outfits, one
must visualize them in their own

red wool capes, hats, and skirts with
navy Jackets) as displayed at a pre
view of American-designed fashions
presented In connection with a se
ries of breakfast style clinics held
in the great Merchandise Murt of

Smart Hats
It you arc fashion-alert and have a
yen for exploiting "the latest," you
will choose to wear with your spring
suit or ensemble a coolie hat as pic
tured above, for Chinese Influence is
noted throughout costume design
thia season. This bnku coolie is in
bachelor blue, a color slated for
spring success.
In this instance
there is a side cluster of tiny gros
grain bows and an under-chin loop.
Colors as varied as a kaleidoscope
give to the other hat a definite this-
season aspect, for current fashion
fairly shouts color, color, color! This
dashing beret is made of black, pale
and deep rose, purple, green and
yellow grosgrain ribbon stitched to
gether in a pinwheel treatment
Children adore buttons, and three
rows of them as used on the new
aqua Shetland wool coat pictured to
the right is enough to triple any lit
tle girl's Joy. The pretty eyelet em
broidered collar helps make this
coat an Important spring fashion,
for white collared coals are featured
for both adults and little folks.
The nautical Influence can be seen
In the coat pictured in the inset.
Navy Shetland with a red and white
trimmed sailor collar and two rows
of glittering silver buttons Is the
formula adopted by the designer of
this smart and attractive model.
The pendulum has swung back to
sailor dresses. Both children and
grown-ups will wear huge white lin
gerie sailor collars with their new
spring frocks. The top color for
spring Is navy in coats, dresses
and capes.
Amusing it is to see the way chil
dren's fashions this year copy those
of their elders. An adult fashion
that repeats in miniature for little
daughters of the household Is the
print-with-plain costume. Cunning
versions for tots are pleated-skirt
print dresses tipped with capes (na
vy or pastel wools) lined throughout
with the print of the dress.
Influences other than the navy or
the army that make for versatility
in styling are South American trends
that bring vivid color Into play. Dude
ranch fashions also delight tots.
There are lariat ties, cowboy fringe
trims and studded leather belts.

Footwear Features
Colors, Low Heels
Glamorized by style designers,
low heeled shoes will lead the fash
ion parade this spring. Newest mod
els have been given flippant touches
to make them more attractive.
The great emphasis on color is
perhaps their most outstanding fea
ture: the more color the merrier.
Sandals or step-in oxfords in a glow
ing tan, pale blond or smart wine
red shade will enliven even the so-1
berest black or navy blue suit
Tan tones are slightly favored
over other colors. They range from
the grayed twig tana, soft cocoa and
tortoise, to khaki. This last color is
especially smart in combination
with black patent leather, with
khaki gabardine used through the
center of the shoe.
Wedges are renamed "lifts" and
are recommended for country and
sports wear.
Soft cocoa-colored suede is used
for one of the dressier shoe styles
known as a Capri sandal.
Something a little different is even
done to the navy blue oxford. Here
the navy influence is definitely mak
ing itself felt One o-rford of navy
blue calf and gabardine has three
narrow folds of white calf across the
toe. Similar bands of white cross
the back of the heel. For the final
touch, the shoelaces have flat leather
ends with a small white star design
in the center.

Leather From the Sea
Today there is a source of leath
er supply formerly unknown. It
is the sea. The casing or lining
of a whale’s stomach provides a
thousand square feet or more of
strong leather which tans well.
The skins of young sharks make
a leather excellent for women’s
shoes because it takes dye perfect
ly. The hide of the manatee, or
sea cow, is another source of
leather suitable for footwear,
while porpoise hide (which is ac
tually the skin of the beluga or
white whale) is naturally water
proof.
Rays of different kinds, very
common in tropical seas, provide
a fine and flexible leather and

There's the Rub—Pete Had
Lived Within That Distance
A traveler was wandering
across the Rockies in search of a
man to whom he had been given
a letter of introduction.
After a long and tedious jour
ney he hailed a wild-looking fel
low who was smoking outside ■
shack.
‘Does Hard Pete live near
here?” asked the traveler.
"No,” said the man.
“Then can you tell me where I
can find his friend and neighbor,
Rough-House Joe?”
“I’m Rough-House Joel”
“Well, they told me Hard Pets
lived within gunshot of you.
“He did.”

which large women look best,
