PAGK EIGHT THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C. THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1925 SPRING FASHIONS BROADCAST GRACEFULNESS AND SIMPLICITY More Variation and Individuality Is Being Devel oped As Straight Lines Generally in Women’s Apparel Are Still Being Adhered To. We are going to be feminine—and graceful once more. Not that we are forgetting the lesson of charm whjch has been taught us by the slender simplicity of the last few years. Rath er, we are taking those same slender lines and developing them with more grace and sophistication—with more variation and individuality. The tailored frock maintains its straight beltless symmetry, but many a model has cleverly added an invert ed pleat in the front for greater ease as well as beauty in walking. Other models also^presenfe a flat back but are circular across the front. Some of the tailored frocks, but a great many of the softer models, are distinguished by a > skirt which flares gracefully from the knee down. In the softer fabrics it seems to give the loveliest floating effect when you walk or dance. « However, all our frocks have learn ed that simplicity is the straight path summer nights. There chiffon dance frocks favor the pimple round peck rather than the more elaborate decoh letage of winter. For tailored wear, kasha and the ribbed silks lead the field far in ad vance of all other materials. The kasha frock is frequently seen in the ever present two piece fyock. These frocks are very smart when they fea ture the new inverted pleat or the circular front. The blouse is straight slim and boyish—very charming for the slender supple figure. The ribbed silk fashion trim coat frocks which open down the front over a crepe de chine slip of a contrasting shade. The jabot is the mark of smartness on many a slender silk frock. Some times the jabot falls from the neck line to the foot of the skirt, or some times just to the waist. These jabots are marvels of simplicity, falling in long graceful folds, never in fussy frills. For warm days of suAimer the soft way to smartness and the smooth, ■ 8 j mp iy mac i e frocks of crepe is a flowing lines are not broken. The two newest thoughts for the afternoon frock are the jabot and the attached scarf. The jabot is usually of a fine soft lace or chiffon or crepe, fallipg in the most graceful folds down the side front of a dress, or on either side of a center front closing. The attached scarf which may be worn across the shoulders or carelessly thrown about the throat, gives an un usually graceful charm. Chiffon Never was chiffon more popular. And what a charming fashion it is. charming favorite ahd several of them will be included in every woman's wardrobe! The smart world is weary of all white costumes which were such a leading mode the past year. Now the lovely soft pastel tones which are so becoming, so flattering, are the great favorites. Peach especially, when pale lilac., pale green, pale yellow and bide. An old ivory or an oyster shade are the nearest shades to white which the smart woman wears. As a contrast and a change from these light shades every wardrobe is Soft, lovely, graceful it floats about! certain to include some gaily colored the figure with a fairy-like charm printed effects either in crepe or chif fon. yet clings enough to show the lithe grace of slenderness.

For more informal wear there are soft novelty plaids—some most amusingly copied from the de signs commonly found in their more humble sister, gingham. These frocks are frequently trimmed with a plain chiffon of a harmonizing tone and sometimes with softest jabots of lace. But for dressier occasions and for warm summer days, chiffons appear in the loveliest and most varied of brilliant hues and gay patterns. Yet these frocks are made with the same deft simplicity. For the Evening The vogue of chiffon for evening will be welcomed by the woman who realizes how cool* dainty and etherial it makes her seem on the hottest of The Blouse The blouse is still on the crest of the wave of popularity and when-you see the utterly charming models which the shops offer, you will not be at all surprised. Of course, the newest ones are tunic blouses, some of which come to within six or seven inches of the bottom of the skirt. They are worn with ensemble suits or with the sim plest skirts. These blouses show the gayest of prints in some of the smart models while others are of smartly simple ribbed silks. The Younger Generation While the types for children are somewhat influenced by grown up fashions, still extreme simplicity is ETIQUETTE By HISS FLO Dear Miss Flo: If one wishes to wear long kid gloves when being mar ried, is it proper to remove the hand from the glove on the left arm and tuck the hand part up under the arm of the glove, or should the whole glove be removed ? When should this be done—before the ceremony or dur ing the ceremony? Is it necessary to remove both gloves? (2) Upon the return from a honeymoon d<&s the bride make calls? . C. W. * ♦ * }*' The glove should be entirely re moved from the left hand before en tering the church, and handed to the matron of honor with the bridal bou quet. It is not necessary to remove the right glove. The bride should never make the first call. Friends of the bride should call upon her within one month after her return, but not earlier than two weeks. Dear Miss Flo: At a dinner party, who should be served first? Should the guests be served as arranged at the table—the lady and then the gen tleman, or should all the ladies be served first? Should the hostess and host be served first ? Thank you. K. D. • * * • The ladies in the party are served filfct.. The hostess is served after all the other ladies have been served, and the host is served* after all the other gentlemen have been served. Dear Miss Flo: How should a lady be introduced to a group of ladies and gentlemen? (2) When a gentle man escorts two Radies to the theatre, is it correct for him to sit between them? Which lady should he take home first—the elder or the younger ? Thank you. R. D. * * * * the rule. The child who is most suit ably dressed for strenuous hours of play is the best dressed child. So straight, colorful little gingham frocks with their matching bloomers are the most popular. __ For parties the well dressed child usually wears a softly simple little frock of a light chiffon, voiles or any other delicate summery material. When introducing a lady to a group of people, one should’ say, “Miss Smith, let me introduce you to—,” and then the names of the individuals are given the ladies mentioned tint (2) A gentleman never sits between the two ladies he escorts to the theatre. The, younger lady should be taken home first. Dear Miss Flo: If 'one is a fre quent guest at a friend’s home, and knows the servants from seeing them so often, is it proper to greet them? (2) When no salt spoon is provided, how should the salt.be taken ? E. R. * a * • POEM ..... Lookin’ toward the future holds a fascination strange, for ambitious hu man natur* ever thirstin’ for a change, —And, though we’re doin’ well enough as on our way we prance, we embrace a resky promise every time we get the chance! » It is quite proper and polite to greet the servants. One might say, “How are you, Mary?” or “How do you do, John?” (2) When no salt spoon is provided,fthe tip of a clean knife may be used.
