The i>et object of her atten tionti in the veat. Never before have we .seen ao many different style* aud each mo different from the other, M now. The collar* sometimes are eon* fiuued and form a latnd aud that, of iron rs?\ goe* outride the coat; the vest iMH'thm follows an < near um possible the line, that in, the general line, of the eolUr. Materials that were heretofore uu? known to vests are heinic uaed, and the color* are no longer subdued but quit* gny and pretentious. ^One of the lead* . rV* \r ^UOCAUb injc shops has one window given ex clusively to these bright colorod aocefr sories, and even the buttons on some are of a dating contrasting color. An apricot one of corded silk attracted much notice, for one could readily imagine the rosy cheeks of some pretty damsel in perfect harmony ? with this refresh ing shade. With the growing popularity of suits it had been thought that the one-piece dress ' woSjf "soon" be "termed " passe^fe? r on the contrary, they are more numer ous than ever. The tailoring must be even fastidious, for one slight deviation of line might mean the ruin of the entire dress. The loose boxstyle^'llf ; shown very simifle with no trimming except a little embroidery at the neck. | In the fitted models, - side panels are used in tunic effect, and in the bodice i there is a draped treatment of fabric which makes the tailored model interest* JEhere in a little indecision as to which silhoutte will h* more prominent and the result is that there are the two distinct types of one-piece dress for spring. One side favors the fitted model and the other the loose box-lines. It really will be entirely within the vo 1 i t i<>n of each individual to decide which particular style suits best her figure. Blouses ' that are dainty want to be colored with some equally delicate hue, and for that very reason the brand new color named aiiter one of our dain tiest actresses has been launched and called the "Julia Sanderson Canary" color. It makffe its debut in a blouse of Georgette and is a pale yellow color, much th<j same color value as bisque. The silk skirts that are worn with these delicate blouses have as their con spicious feature novelty pockets, applied in opposite way to the weave of the skirt There are a number of odd shapes, and aaatt btTt the mlalttnrc rererr usually of some contrasting' material and color.
