Spring Suits Offer
Large Style Choice
Curve accentinf femininity
playa a major role in Spring
luiti, presenting a picture that is
typified by the full skirt and
brief, jacket silhouette featured
in an eye-compelling, texture
some fabric.
Although they all predomi
nantly follow similar bodice
molding, waist - nipped, arched
hipped and full-skirted lines,
newest suits are to be found in
as great a variety as the flowers
in a fresh-blooming Spring gar
den. Jackets, or example, range
from the very brief rounded bo
lero types, with curved contours
accentuated, in many instances,
by slope - shouldered, melon
shaped three-quarter sleeves, to
the longer length jacket, that
ends just below the hipline, with
a slightly rippled peplum or
half-beled back.
Lilt Spencers
Other jacket styles, most pre
senting brief outlooks, include
little spencers, arch hipped
basques and figure-hugging tops
with deep dolman sleeves,, re
movable capelets or high-placed
seam or pocket detail.
Typical of Spring's new brief
jacket silhouettes is a suit with
a waist-length poodle cloth, spen
cer jacket, with three-quarter
dolman sleeves, teamed with a
full gored gabardine skirt.
The very fun, easy full and
eased slim skirts, on hand for
Spring, also present a variety of
choice. Many feature all-around
pleats. On others, pleats are
grouped In novel effects. And
still other skirts are stitched to
the hipline then pleated to the
hem, featuring the long torso
line.
Fullness in new suit skirts is
also achieved by the use of many
gores or confining fullness to the
back with the front giving a
straight hanging appearance.
Softer Outlook
Although slim skirts are pre
dicted to continue their popular
ity through the new season most
have been eased immeasurably,
often with low kick pleats placed
either front or back, for a softer
outlook.
Distinctive of the full-skirted
silhouette is the suit with a full
four-gored skirt and short, mold
ing asymmetrically closed jacket.
New costume suits, following
the full skirt-brief jacket pattern
set for the season, offer added
news interest in their greater
than ever versatility. This season
they are chameleon-like with re
movable capelets on cardigan
jackets, crisp fabric printed
blouses accompanying them, and
in redingote coat designs that
have jacket-effect tops and come
with matching skirts. One cos-

'52 Luggage
Asset for
Latest' Style
Color, Style
Texture Shown
Luggage and leather accesso
ries, designed for Spring '52,
mean as much fashion-wise as
new Spring clothes. Now cos
tume cue J, in colors and fabrics,
they can be the finishing touch
to ensembles, and also a most
impressionable asset.
An abundance of color, style
and texture in luggage gives a
wide choice to match or blend
with travel clothes and accesso
ries. For those with an eye for
wool, there is luggage in checks,
herringbones and tweeds. If
linen is preferred, it is also avail
able. Or for those who desire the
smoothness of leather or plastic,
there is much variety to be had
now in color and style, with
matching or contrasting trims.
Along with its fashion con
scious outlook, newest luggage
is lighter and made to be more
lasting than ever before. Accord
ing to the Luggage and Leather
Goods Association, one - third
more can be packed in today's
luggage than it its counterpart
of ten years ago.
Along with luggage, there are
new innovations in leather ac
cessories that supply accommo
dations for papers, tickets, bills
and change. New feminine wal-

To Mimic Dad
Junior will look like a tiny
replica of Daddy, this Spring, in
trousers, sweaters, jackets and
coats all mimicking the grown
ups in fabric and styling.
The trench coat, complete in
all details, including irridescent
lining, is warm enough for those
"in between" days and sturdy
enough for a small boy's hard
wear. Popular too, in Spring
coats, are the fly-front water
repellent twills, styled to make
son and father look like broth
ers. Tartans appear in sleeveless
sweaters with fabric front and
knit back. Sport shirts, in bright
houndstooth checks, splashy
tropic prints and bright solids,
fit well with a knitted waist
band. Tots just learning to walk
won't scrape knees as much with
the new overalls that have foam
rubber pads slipped into knee
