riJcfej -fit - waB m M -Look to texture interest in the fabric of new spring coats. This casual coat with simple lines, for example, is of wide wale ot toman that lends a dressy look. Rayon ottoman by Avisco. All Lengths For Coats This Spring Emphasis on Tiny Topper Coats go to all lengths, this Spring, with new fashion em phasis placed on the tiny, waist high topper and the full length princess coat. Blown-up sleeves, sparkling new colors and richly-textured fabrics provide newest coats with their own fashion scoop. Take sleeves, for example, whether the coat is a shrug-type briefer or reaches to the hem, its silhouette is accented by the ex aggerated size of the sleeve. For there are batwing, large lantern, balloon, cape, bell, turn-back and sleeves Mousing from the waist line on hand this season. Full Sleeves Every sleeve type is full, in a manner suggesting turn of the Century fashions. And every sleeve, in this full 'design, is visually combined with dropped shoulder seams, welt details across the bodice and back, or diamond and squarecut arm holes. Typical shrug coat, or waist length topper, featuring the over size sleeve is one of pastel fleece. It is styled with sloped shoul ! ders, just below the elbow bat wing sleeves. And it is detailed with a small bead-embroidered collar. Typical full-length coat style with outstanding sleeve treat ment, is a sleeveless coat with the upper arms covered by the cape top of the coat. The coat appears in a rough-textured wool and is cinched .in at the waist by a self-belt. Princess Favored The full-length princess coat, predicted to be the coat favorite in this length for Spring, in many instances, is designed with a figure-hugging bodice and a full skirt. One example is a snug top, whirl-skirted princess coat of grey flannel with a deep cape collar covering the rounded shoulders and also serving to pro vide eye appeal to the slim sleeves. Loose full-length coats, great ly in evidence this Spring, are fashioned with carefully con trolled all-around flare. This type of coat, in a cashmere, may ap pear with full-blown three-quar-. ter push-up sleeves. ned ne Has Crisp, Lady-Like Look There's a crisp, lady-like look to lingerie designed for Spring. And this feminine outlook is reflected to best advantage in the abundance of cottons used for everything from petticoats to night gowns, and in the many petticoats presented to help billow out new fullness of dress and suit skirts. Most important, perhaps, in the Spring lingerie fashion picture, are the many variations of the petticoat, now so popular with the current stress on wide skirts. Newest are the petticoats with t fullness accentuated by stiffen ing. This is done, in many in stances, with underskirts of crin oline or organdy, flexible boning in the hem, narrow bands of corded ' fabric placed directly above the hemline ruffling and starched fabrics used in the mak ing of the petticoat itself. New Outlook Petticoat fashions, in them selves, offer a new outlook for the Spring season. There are full, full petticoats, designed with side zipper' closings and finished waistbands, that can double as skirts. There are pretty cotton petticoats with ultra feminine eyelet embroidery trim, made for wear beneath sheer dresses. And there are bouffant petticoats of crisp organdy, designed with their own crinoline underskirts, that also may be worn as skirts. Dainty trims also add femi nine appeal to new petticoats. Featured are lavish net and lace hem ruffles and colorful floral embroideries. Many of the hew petticoats come with their own matching camisoles. Elasticized, shirred and mold ed midriffs help carry out Spring fashion's Empire silhouette theme in nightgowns featured for 'the new season. While the sill Spring fashion's Empire silhou ette is featured for nightwear. too. Shown, above, is a typical Empire style molded midriff gown designed with an all around accordion pleated skirt. Made of permanently pleated ny lon, it's called the "Grecian God dess" by Van Raalte. Let Cummerbund Lend Color Dash Watch for the cummerbund, this Spring, to lend a bright dash of color and serve as a co-ordinating accent to both casual and dress-up fashions. For that wide crushed or flat pleated sash-effect belt is very much in evidence in the Spring Empire fashion picture. It's ready to add that one spark of color to princess-line dresses, to accentu ate the fullness of a billowing skirt and the snugness of a close fitting top, and to help a sepa rates ensemble come to happy harmony. Look for the cummerbund, this Spring, to also add important emphasis to new brief jackets. fr iJ CAPTURE The COLOR of m Be proud of your own color Transparencies!

Tricot Ensembles Typical of nightgowns empha sizing the Empire silhouette is a gown and negligee ensemble of rayon tricot. The gown is fash ioned with a smoothly fitted waistline that has its molding contours accentuated by an ap plique of bright gold ribbon. The full length, easy flowing skirt is gathered around the hipline. And the brief sleeved top has a wide V-neckline. Another example of the Empire silhouette is a gown which fea tures a completely smocked bod ice feminized with pastel em broidery. Nylon lace inserts out line the bosom of this nylon tri cot gown. Placing emphasis pn the femi ninity of trim is, for example, a portrait neckline gown detailed with shirred nylon net. Another, in this dress up fashion, is of cot ton plisse lavished with tiny tiers of organdy ruffles.

Skirts for Home Wear Have Color At home fashions, designed for TV parties, patio entertaining or simply for lounging about the house, whirl out for Spring in color drenched skirts meant to be fluffed out by layers of pretty petticoats beneath. Adapted from the past sea son's fashions are billowing quilted skirts. These are pre sented in cottons and rayons, in gay solid tones and small Pro vincial type prints. They are most effective when combined with contrasting bright color black jersey tops, designed in a sleeveless, scoop neck manner or with a turtle neck and . long or short sleeves. Also effective, when teamed with contrasting scoop neck or turtle neck jersey tops, are the whirling skirts that feature a vari-colored patchwork effect print. Novel in appearance are the new skirts printed to simulate all-over lace embroidery. Often, this type of skirt also has a simu lated fringe border that lends a sham apron effect to the skirt. For dress up at home, and even for parties and other gala occasions away from home, there are full, full skirts of satin or gold accented organdy. These look best when paired with sim ple tops, or, for a more elaborate outlook, with a crushed cummer- Wednesday.

Glove Fashions Match Sleeves The story is short and sweetly feminine for gloves this Spring, in keeping with the elaborately designed sleeves on dresses and coats. Fabrics, fine leathers and sporty knits are briefed for f ash-ion-rightness, trimmed in the most romantic manner, and dipped, in the case of the fabrics, in pastels. In leathers, glove col ors are sharp and intense. Fabric gloves, whether they appear in double woven cotton or nylon, take on a festive air with lots : of French knotting, open work of every type; and sometimes, in the more elabo rate styles, beautifully designed hand appliques and intricate ribbing. Daisy-fresh white remains ever popular this Spring with other fabric shorties appearing in delicate mauvy pinks and blues, neutral beiges and black.
