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

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.

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

An old ivory or an oyster shade are
the nearest shades to white which the
smart woman wears.

chiffons have taken the smart world
by storm. 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.

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.

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

knows the servants from seeing them
so often, is it proper to greet them?

how should the salt.be taken ? E. R.

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.
Lookin’ toward the future holds the
elements of doubt—jest enough to
spur .a feller who delights in findin’
out,—No—it ain’t the fact of dyin’
that arouses latent dread—it’s the
likeliRood of sufferin’ at the cross
roads on ahead— ~ . KV .
Lookin’ toward the future fer a
better, brighter day, we escape the
hauntin’ memory that would face us
t’other way—While there’s nothin’
quite so certain as a snooze beneath
the sod, nobody doubts the future of
a pardnefship with God!
