WOMEN ARE SHEDDING winter's darker frocks and coats
with a sigh of relief and are slipping into white and pastels
and brilliant colors. Attractive Mrs. Dora Mae Jackson of
Sears, models a linenized blush-pink casual frock with straight
lines, perfect foil for the sudsable white nylon shortie coat
that washes like a hankie . . . white fabric gloves, white
crocheted bag and off-the-face white straw-cloth hat with
wisp of veiling. Her pumps, cut low to show her beautiful
moulded instep, are navy nylon mesh. She's considering a fine
yellow straw bonnet framed with bronze and brown flowers.
Dressmaker Touches Add
To Flattering Roundness
In Lightweight New Style
Dressmaker touches, shapely fit-;
ting and lightweight fabrics make
good news in suits for spring.
Jacket and skirt lengths are short
er; the feeling is rounded and fem
inine; the all-over effect is soft,
fresh and most appropriate for the
balmy days ahead.
A low-necked collar marks the
1954 suit. Whether the collar is a
tiny Peter Pan or a wide cape
effect, it Is usually flat, often top
ped with white . linen, pique or
leather. Top Interest is further es
tablished with lingerie touches,
such as add soft bulk about the
shoulders and high on the bodice.
The empire suit shows Its colors
with under-bust seaming or detail
and almost always uses a high
rising, waist-molded skirt. Skirts
may be slim or flared . . . with h
happy medium slated for widest
popularity. ,
Slim skirts are eased for walking
Vith large box pleats to the rear.
Flare skirts most often feature
pleats and usually keep a well
moldcd hipllne. Many skirts are
slim In front and drawn to back
fullness which is underlined by
deep, unpressed box pleats. The
new length is about an inch above
mid-calf and open to modification
according to wearer's taste.
Abbreviated Sleeves
There is a delightful new im
portance In sleeves also credited
to the "top Interest" theme. A
great many suit jackets wear short
sleeves that stop somewhere above
the elbow. Some have white edging
peeping from beneath the sleeve
hem. These short sleeves may be
removable either button-on lace
sleevelets or detachable bells. The
sleeveless suit Is a definite "new"
for spring.
Elbow and bracelet length
sleeves are prominent. There are
basket cuffs, opening upwards,
lanterns, funnels and bells all sott
and feminine. All sleeves, whether
cropped or conventional, show a
tendency to bulkless roundness.
Shapely Jackets
Jackets may be shrugs, boleros,
waist-length "bellboys" or padded
to curve to the hip. But they are
definitely shorter than last year,
and much more curvaceous. The
cupola line Jacket is a leader
outstanding, wide and most fre
quently bolero styled or hip-lengtli
and curved in with a band at the
hip.
Pockets are generally contoured
to the shape of the jacket and
prettily edged. Top width Is fur
ther enhanced with padded pock
ets, high on the jacket.
The shape Is .the thing In suits
this spring, and 'this theme Is cai
rled even into the semi-box suit
and the sports suit. Both have tak
en on fitted ways and more design
variety. The sailor suit is a happv
outgrowth of the box, with its wide
tar collnr and easy-swinging pleat
ed skirt. Other boxies feature
horseshoe collars and bracelet
sleeves, or stand-away collars that
are filled in with white dickies or
loop-twisted scarves.
Tissue-Weight Fabrics
Fabric interest remains a pri
mary feature of spring suits. Con
tributing to the graceful, feminine
look are soft, smooth, fabrics.
Where there Is texture, it Is subtle
and crisp. Dress suits make much
use of silk and wool blends, silk
or rayon crepes and polished
failles. Davtlme suits appear In
soft worsteds and flannels, featur
ing a mere hint of color blend.
Sports suits proclaim the "softer
spring" via Ice cream tweeds and
THIS RED KID "WEEDY" with illusion heel and white perfor
ated trim will be perfect for the new spring suits. A chic bow
of self styled material at the throat gives the coveted long
line to m' lady's foot. Here, Mrs. Bryce (Jean) Osborne of
Miller's Shoe department alto wears a new spring fashion in
black patent with white kid piping, featuring a three-inch
French heel and wide open toe. Another good pump for street
wear. Mrs. Osborne wears a Triple A.
Spring Brides Look Young
sheen gabardines.
Extremely lightweight fabrlC3
make spring suits real season'
spanners. Cotton and linen suits
will be worn through spring . , .
and very prettily, too, with their
form-fitting cuts and dainty trims.
Particularly Important trim trend
is the contrasting band. Wide or
narrow, It is inset or appliqued or
laced through slots to Imitate rij-bon.
A brand new and different "In
genue'' theme makes bridal gowns
young, uncluttered and very beau
tiful this spring. A new 'shirtwaist
look Is topped with a tiny Peter
Pan collar, features big: sleeves
and blends into skirts that, are airy
and bouffant.
The simple silhouette, minus
jackets and sheer yokes, Is per
fect for the very young bride and
equally becoming for the bride-over-twenty.
Instead of the strap
less gown, there are lovely sweet
heart, scoop and sculptured neck
lines. Second to the Peter Pan col
lar, is the big, flouncy collar that
offers its own form of youthful
ness. The newest bridal gowns take
their cue from popular Junior sil
houettes . . . the empire being
most popular. Short lengths are
prevalent, a ' mid-calf stopping
point for day and cocktail wed
dings, and the ballerina for eve.
ning. Trains have lost none of their
importance, but they are shorter
and fuller look more bouffant
than ever and are easier to man
age.
Traditional nylon tulles and nets,
silk and cotton organdies are
abundant. But new fabrics, such
as embroidered pique and slubbed
tissue silks are appearing in lovely
styles. Laces play a larger role
this spring., particularly In the
very young gowns.
Satin and taffeta make impor
tant underskirts and there are
some crinolines. Ribbon and bow
trims add to the "ingenue" feel'
inc. while dainty tuckings, shir-
rings and appliques or delicate
lace inserts are lavorcd details.

Stockings In
Spring Style
Stockings are right in step with
fashion this spring. New styles and"
colors have been introduced to cor
respond with the latest in shoes
and point up a one-color look lor
1954.
A slim, tapered heel stocking
goes with tapered pumps. Seam
less sandalfoot stockings with no
reinforcement are preferred with
bare .sandals and wide-open toed
shoes. Knee-length stockings are
increasingly available, but should
be worn with full skirts to keep
their tops invisible when the wear
er is seated.
Sheer and sheerer are stocking
keywords. As gauges go up and
denlers go down, added effort goes
to make hose longer-lasting, High
twist, double threads and stretchy
tops make stookings stronger. One
manufacturer uses an exclusive
finish to add strength and dura
bility. .
Striking new shades are availa
ble to complement every costume
color. There are silver tints to
wear with greys and off-blacks.
Beiges appear in a new pale cast
to match the biscuit and honey
shades.
Legs can see the spring world
through rose - colored stockings,
pale tuns to blend with pastels.
Finally, hosiery is dyed in glow
ing hues to match the nasturtium
range, expected to reach a popu
larity peak this year in kid shoes
as well ms costumes.

there are dresses a-plenty in which
housewives will be proud to be
seen.
Glazed cottons, butcher rayons,
ginghams and chambrays are Just
a few of the cool fabrics that have
been Interpreted into good-looking
styles for street as well as home-
wear. Hard-working denim and
sailcloth come in attractive styles
with Interesting stitch and rick
rack trims.
New interest has been added to
the neckline, to pockets and to
sleeves. Colors are softer, and
more becoming shapes have been
placed in the repertory. The wrap
around, the coat-dress and the but-
ton-down-the-back styles, all old fa
vorltes, appear in fashion-wise new
guises. Ruffles, piping and appli
