NOVEL SIMPLICITY FEATURES EASTER FASHION PARADES

‘There Is No Such Thing as the Smart Costume,’ Says Miss Schuyler—Any Number of Them Attain the Heighth of Style.

P|V Betsy Schuyler NKA Service Writer NEW YORK, April 15, —Looking over Easter's domain, onfe thought and only one crystallizes out of the atmosphere: “There is no such thing as THE smart costume.” Any number of them fairly shout “style” at you. Watching the daily fashion parade that saunters up Park Avenue —now that warm days are here and daisies are blooming in window boxes —it is plain that chic comes this Easter via novelty and complicated cut, together with an effect of simplicity. Restraint Os course restraint has always been handmaiden to good taste. But given the supple silhouette, the general idea of either a two-piece costume or a one-piece "with the waist not too pinched and sleeves long or not at all, and fashion exerts all her ingenuity to create variety in detail. Yokes and yoke effects either on shoulders or hips are extremely chic. I noticed Cora Legg chose a cream pointed lace yoke and fitted cuffs to matel.i to mark as smart the blue crepe i I in frock she wore to the last inci ting of tiie debutante committee for the Butterfly Ball. Triangular Buttons Faustina Monroe's green crepella frock, at one of these meetings, conceived chic, in terms of tiny triangular bone buttons of autumn coloring edging'the collar and cuffs, running down the front and even embroidering flowers on the skirt pocket. Minta Durfree Arbuckle was the cynosure of envious gazes at a Ritz tea when she wore a soft black felt hat, brimless, witli a tail crown that bad three large creamy-pink roses cascading down to her shoulders like trailing arbutus, from the right side. Lydia Dadmun wore a tomato red flat crepe daytime dress with match-; ing red oval wooden beads and was extremely stunning in the setting. I saw June Hess and Grace Tingue at the Drake attending a meeting for the Butterfly Ball and both looked as fresh as spring flowers in their printed costumes. June Hess’s printed pussywillow in four tones of blue tied itself smartly both at the V neckline and at the waistline. All of Its fullness came in a pleated front inserted panel that had a real oriental up-in-the-front hitch to it. Flesh georgette formed the tiny vestee. Grace Tingue wore one of the new printed fabric coats—in beige tone with blue for its geometric design. Blues are still swaying fashion as much as ever. They range in ap-

HERE'S A ‘MODERN BED CHAMBER'

It Has No Curves That Can Be Drawn by Machine. B’l YE,4 Service NEW YORK, t April 15— Away with slavery to the past! The Twentieth Century will have its way, in furniture as in dress, manners and morals. Out of the babble of decorators and dealers gone mad over “antiques” comes one loud protest. Paul Baumgarten, famous designer, has arranged the “Modern Bedroom.” Unlike many examples of new art., It lias dignity and restraint. “The modern style need not be grotesque,” says Baumgarten. “The expert can handle it with all the delicacy and refinement be would show in using 'period furniture.’ “Distortion, blatant coloring, general disregard for the niceties of refined modern living, are no more correct in the decorative use of the modern style than they ever were in tho best stylos of any period.” The weird, wild and freakish effects which the world associates with futurist art arc merely the errors of incompetent interpreters, Batimgarten believes. His “modern bedroom” illustrates the attitude of the new art to line, mass and color. • First of all, the room contains no ! “perfect curves,” that is arcs or circles or other geometric curves that can be drawn by machine. Every curve is drawn freehand, with a grace and flow that the old conventional curves lacked, in the fireplace, especially, the new curves

DEVOTED TO WOMEN’S INTEREST

proximately fifty different tones —all of them somewhat compose, suggesting purple, pink, gray or some other color. Accessories have all the variety of costumes. I noticed several women eyeing Mrs. David Schwab’s latest dinner ring which she wore to Sherry’s last week. Oblong diamonds form the band. Everyone, it seems, must have at least two, or preferably more wedding rings. A wedding ring for each costume may be the next slogan. I noticed that Mrs. T. M. Robert-

son is welcoming spring days in a marine blue soft woolen coat that is entirely novel in the way contrasting blue leather inserts appear lengthwise from neck to cuffs. Smart blue pumps, blue purse and hat make her an outstanding example of how blue the smart woman is this spring. Another style that pleases me as it gains favor is for gray-haired women to accetuate their soft loveliness by wearing gray. I think Jenny started the rage by introducing a gray-haired model with an intriguing bob, wearing just the right shade of gray satin evening gown, trimmed with fringe, and rhinestones. An utterly pleasing devotee of this mode was Mrs. William Henry Barnum wearing a crepe gown to tea at the Ritz which exactly matched in shade her charming swirling bob.

curved. A mirror over a cabinet has a five-fold bevel, with hand-drawn curves. The canopy over the bed is draped to suggest luxury, without being oppressive in its richness. The room shows regard for mass proportions. Its objects are beautiful in themselves, because of their mass and outline, not because of any applied ornamentation borrowed from the old schools. In color, the room is typically modern. It uses bright, clear colors and new woods. “In modern art you must have true colors,” says Mr. Baumgarten. .“The colors of all the great periods have been real and strong. “Twenty-five years ago, we used to tone down our old fabrics and antique tapestries to satisfy a jaded and degenerate taste, and to be sure that our real antiques could not be mistaken for modern. "At the same time, we made our modern reproductions so pale in tone, that today they look like washedout, faded rags. Nowadays we wash and scrub and clean our antiques in the vain hope of bringing back the glory of color that once was theirs. Returned to Normal “Why? Are we all being led astray by the demand for new bright color effects? Far from it. We are just returning to normal. Science has made possible the use of many new colors which will produce results never before equalled in beauty and glory.” The modern bedroom has walls of silver paper in an invisible checkerboard pattern. Against these are panels of silk, with white tulips

printed on a black background. Bed and window draperies are of emerald taffeta, edged with fringe. The counterpane is of silver cloth and the pane curtains of silver gauze. The high-waisted draperies of the windows give anew line that is most refreshing. The carpet is a chenille of silver tapue, with a shaded border. In small details, the room finds its greatest charm. The tassels at the sides of the bed canopy repeat the tulip motif of the wall panels. The keys of the cabinets are scrolls of silver, with a center of pet, to match the jet studs that head the fringe of the draperies. Altogether, from the velvet chaise lounge with its jaded lady-doll to the white bear rugs trailing up the steps of the dias to the bed, the room is one to live in. * It is sensuous without being vulgar, with the smart sophistication of the twentieth century.
