a splurge buttons are making in

Two important trends register in
the button field, one of which is the
inclination toward bulkiness. But­

knobby. Also, the new buttons tell
a grand and glorious color study.
You, with everyone else, are going
to wear a great deal more color
this year than you did last, and ac­
cordingly button originals are keep­
ing pace with the color commotion.
Plastic buttons are available in a
full range of costume colors. A but­
ton that makes an interesting ac­
cent on frock or blouse is a molded
plastic done in a flower design with
nailhead detail. Fresh fashion in-
terest is also developing in filigree
