MONDAY, MARCH 22, 1920.

A Fashion Review By DOROTHY' Many would never admit it but the woman of today will say for herself; that she Is no longer the slave of one mode. No more do the tall, and short, the stout and slender figure have to conform to one mode, the edict of a group of designers. This is a day of a many sided mode. Not one but many are the silhouettes for Spring and emphasis is laid on variety, in sil houette, In design and in trimming, and In all the vastly important details, variety is the outstanding feature, and few costumes are content with a single material or even a single color. The American woman, like the Parisienne has come to consult her type more and more and admits no one mode to be the criterion of her tastes. Her one desire in planning her costume is to express her own individ uality In a chic manner. Chic, after all, is merely being simple in an artful way, an enticingly different way The French designers who create it Ujuite daszle you by their seeming lack of complexity. Does it not seem that the mind of a child is forever entering into the smartest of the imports? Individuality is the keynote of the season, and will go all the way from grandmother's hoops to "-straight line frocks. Of course, almost all sleeves are short in varying lengths and skirts have a slim silhouette in spite of the fact that some of them are circular. The length is rather determined by the individual taste. The more conservative are wearing theirs about shoo top length while the extremest throws sensibility to the winds and flaunts hers at nine, ten or even farther from the ground. Crisp rustles of Spring are l&ard in new taffeta which is holding its place as the fabric most in demand for the afternoon or the more informal street dress. Vieing with taffeta, however, are the gleaming satins, transparent marquisettes and the soft and clinging chiffons and georgettes. A taking afternoon model is one of black taf feta, having skirt fullness and a bodice that might easily be suspected of being a basque. This bodice is semifitted and trimmed with embroidery in green and rose silk, while the bindings are in narrow black velvet ribbon, thus giving the much desired effect of quaintness os much In vogue at feet of duaintness so much in vogue at a draped over tunic that is decidedly full. This, too, is bound with velvet and the fullness is shirred in under an uneven and short peplum, that is really a part of the bodice, flaring beneatn a narrow Deit oi taueia. A little dressier are the frocks of Canton Crepe and meteor for which there Is a great demand at the present time. Charming in their simplicity are the lighter frocks of chiffon and Georgette in many odd combinations of color. A

of Spring Modes

DU RANT jade green chiffon has a harem skirt heavily beaded the color deepened In the tucked side panels. A dainty gown of yellow chiffon is used with old blue. Orchid Georgette Is beaded net and has a narrow ribbon sash of in squares and the skirt gains Its effect of bouffancy by plaited ruffles on the sides from the waist to the Turkish hem. The printed chiffons have unusual color effects brought out by ribbon belts. The wool frock which takes turn about with the spring tailleur is daringly simple in design, though it may be richly embroidered, or delightfully trimmed with ribbon or plaitings of the material used in a number of different ways. These street costumes so charming in their simplicity are characterized by youthfulness and variety. An interesting feature of a blue tricotine dress is the clever lines to be found in the yolk of tho skirt. Above the wide panel of the back, the blouse fastens on the shoulders with steel balls. Below the skirt is plaited to the yolk on the sides. A suede girdle wraps twice around the waist. then dangles freely in balls and tassels. A charming contrast in color is made with the piping of gray crepe de chine For the spring tailleur fashion fa vors a suit with a short or a bell shaped coat with the extreme length running to the finger tips. Also the Eton fever with the spring fever comes on us every year. This season, however, the recurrent malady seems more virulent to form. In the longer coated models the designers have attempted to ignore the belt but It has persisted despite the efforts to make the unbelted coat the mode of the spring. Besides the tailored suit, novelties in combinations of material are fascinating and different. One of this type has a coat of duvetyn, in a soft, dark shade of brown, stitched in a mauve silk, and mauve colored thistle-dew or silk ratine makes the shirt a pleasing contrast. But what are the fair prophecies of smiling summer skies? It is the wise woman who looks that far ahead and Dlans her summer frocks airy and ! light in color and texture. A wonderfully new and complete assortment of cotton fabrics are gaily suggestive of sunny days. But even in the bewitching collection of sheerness and color. one charming material stands out from the others because of its individuality and because of the old-time quaintness of its design, for it Is unmistakably reminiscent of olden days. This Engiish sateen is a fabric as soft and pliable as charmeuse and its patterns are taken from rare old prints. Close lv following the English sateens in arp flowered or gandies, dotted Swiss, checked Voiles and ratine In new designs in a brilll

ant aesaiiment of plain colors. The

popular English prints retain their popularity this Spring, and the same designs will be displayed in a new fabric, a soft, silky muslin, canea tropical silk. One of the loveliest of these has a design of prim little forget-me-nots in blues and greens, and suspicion of mauve, outlined in black and printed very closely together. Plaids have come back. In velours and serge thry are either made plain or plaited in accordeon. knife or box plaits, in the smartest ol separate . sport . skirts. Most of these come in the soft dark shades of blue, brown and green combined with the lighter shades in gray and mauve. With a skirt of this kind is worn a short tailored, sport coat and under It the softest sort of blouse In pussy willow, satin, crepe de chines, or in one of tbe exquisite tub fabrics. In these, embroidered voiles, dotted Swisses and dimities are among the season's fancies. One very smart model bears a striking design in black and red embroidery on a white ground. Fine white pique cleverly forms the rolling collar, waistcoat and turned back cuffs each of which is aggressively held in position by a single pearl button. Then of creamy Swiss, dotted in red, is another lovely summer blouse which fastens invisibly down the front under a box plait. Knife-plaited frills of ecru footing border this center plait, and the turned back collar as well. Madeira all over embroidery is another modish fabric. And when an eyeletted design is used for the bodice and white organdy for the sleeves. and there are knife-plaited frills around the neck, hem and sleeves, the blouse is one to covet to wear with a suit or a simple organdy skirt. In the bright colored sport skirts for summer wear, besides the usual tailored models there are a number of the more unusual kind in silks. One of these is a box plaited pongee which gives freedom for movement without destroying the desired straight sil- . houette and then also those in accor-4 deon- plaited crepe de chine in white and in fancy sports material as KumsiKumsa. Fan-Ta-Si and Tricolettes. As for the cape it would be a serious error to imagine that Its smartness is in the least Impaired, for no one has tird of it. "Laxative Bromo Qumino TahfotG" -7rtrvts
