Briefer Coat Adds To Smariness THE THREE-PIECE suit will make its (Easter 1950 appearance in a new, stréam-lined style. Long a favored costume because of its versatility and the fact that its topcoat serves with other outfits, it still remains a favorite. This year, though, it has picked up a new style note and makes an ever smarter appearance,
IT HAS tes the short topper length for its “overcoat” — short "toppers are tops In style—and gains much in looks, thereby. There's no denying «that, in some fabrics, a suit plus a full-length coat gave a _ costume a downright ubiquitous effect.

Be Organized One Never Goes With Everything Do you tote the same carry-all| day after day just because that's so much easier than switching its contents to another hand-| bag? If you do, you aren't being! very fair to your handbag or to yourself. The handbag has never| been designed which “will “go with” everything. A: bag that's right for a dressy suit will be too sophisticated a) companion for a tweed sports coat, and vice versa.
Many women carry one hand-| bag because they think it's a nuisance or it takes too much time to change. Changing needn't ever be a problem and will pro-| long the life of any handbag if “some of the articles in it are re-| duced by a dozen or so items. Do you really geed everything that you carry around with you? “Are old ‘receipts, theater stubs, loose bobby pins, old letters, pieces of string, odd keys and swatches of chintz or dress fabric really essential to lug around? Why not dump the contents of your handbag out on a paper, spread over your bed and see . Just how much of its burden can be lightened? A check-up is certain to hold surprises.
Result Satisfies - Once you have winnowed out,
carry around, changing hand-| bags won't be-‘a chore. And the “result will ‘be “that “you'll find’ yourself - swinging along — with: lighter footsteps, nicer posture, and feeling better organized and more efficient when you héve to dig into your handbag for car-

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 11—Miss and Mrs. Average American don't ‘wish to be the bést-dréssed damsels in their city, town or

Summer Popularity
Even ahead of the first crocus white pique touches announce the arrival of spring. fashions this year. White pique collars, cuffs, dickies, hats and an endless vari-!| ety of pique accessories and trimmings are forerunners of even greater popularity of pique for summer, Afl of this means extra work, however, for white touches that aren't. immaculately fresh defeat their own purpose. Hope Skillman, who designs and makes fabrics for the country’s leading designers, offers a few -sugges-! tions for caring for your piques. | “Wash them in warm, not hot, iwater,” she cautions. “Most piques have a slight $hrinkage “which scalding hot water doesn’t help at all. “Alth ough most. cloths are colorfast these days; color is not improved by water, that's too hot. This year’s colored piques have forsaken namby-pamby pinks and blues and have blossomed into rich, vibrant shades that don’t! show soil as quickly as.pastels—' but should be laundered carefully. “These should -be washed" sepa-' rately because they are treated: with extra dyestuffs called a] ‘bloom’ which will céme off in| [the water. This doesn’t mean the garrient is fading, becatse its color -will not be affected, but ‘it might stain a garment of another) {color,
