Fashions From Hats To Shoes

YORK, Apr. 6.— (U.R>— Perhaps the most interesting and radical NE ' jn nl |'|Hnery fashions this spring is the use of cottons in the Jerclopmen of p arig designers two seasons ago featured makinrr am w hite pique for sportswear. It was rather an exclusive rVionVllu-t time but was not generally accepted. f«t’ nion . inc however, the use of the cottons is much more important ami Thl8 |n more interesting ways. It is one of the novelty developments.

I !S , | 8 verv probable, of course, that I th e linen weave straw bodies have I,ad a great deal to do with the suece9B of the Pique “nd linen idea in trimming for there is a sreat slm‘"’t is the* mart way in w hich these fabrics are used that will make them a fashion item this season, tor inLee. pique whether in plain or pencil stripe is inset in modernistic motif ilt the crown side and perhaps in the . brim of a bakou or ballibuntl. HemShed or closely stitched linen bands are laid around the crowns of , medium or large straws and tied on the side In a rakish little bow. Os course, the use of the linen and even the pique *’ very P revalent and it is here that color contrast is intro- . dueed, while the under flange of either of the fabrics is seen a great deal. As more and more new shoe types for summer days put in an appearance to supplement those that the southern resort season has marked for re-endorsement, the fact that footwear is taking many of its style cues from dress fashions becomes increasingly evident. When it is a matter of color combinations and design, shoes follow the lead of the summer frock Having started on the radical , road at southern resorts with such ideas as polka dots, checks, modern- ( istic and flower prints, the shoe carries on those ideas in variations. Moreover, it exploits the new color combinations In solid tone alliances featured in dresses. Chartreuse, black and white; brown, white and yellow, or navy, red and beige are i among those that appear frequently j together. One stylist vouchsafes a , reason for the adoption of dress fabric ] patterns and color alliances by stattag that since women have been won over to them in dresses, wily not exploit the ideas for shoes?

The me/nbers of the commission ami those in charge have been given an opportunity by me to do their worst, and I shall be satisfied with the verdict that will be rendered in the minds of the interested public who have read the charges and mv answers under oath to them. “I feel that my original purpose has been accomplished and unless there is further effort on the part of someone to discredit me or my administration as director, I am done, except that 1 desire to clear up some of the matters testified to at the fiasco conducted with reference to the removal.” Brown declared that he and Williams visited cordially and the deposed director offered to aid him at any time.
