fectly for Mho la giving the detftila of
her new spriuK creations particular at
tention. 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*

^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.
