Change of Accessories wmAclcl Interest To Suits

Tailored, Frilly Necklines, Clips, Colored Gloves, Bags, Shoes, Hats, Make Complete Costumes

Spring, from the clothes angle, brings one thought to the mind of every woman, young or old, and that is—a suit! suit! And this year Madame Fashion is allowing full rein in the choice of suits. The suits this season are the most exciting that have ever been created. Straight-lined, two piece tailored models that have style stitched in every seam, three piece swaggers made of soft wools that are as complimentary to the older woman as they are to the slim young thing, a combination of a checked jacket over a plain, smart skirt —in fact, any type of suit that is becoming can join the Easter parade with confidence.

Reserved for the first ranks of the Easter Promenade is the three piece swagger using the contrasting colored coat. Gray with Du- , bonnet, beige with brown, beige! with black and slate blue with nfvy are some of the combinations that will be seen on the woman with a flair for color style. Fashion is specializing, it appears, on “quick changes” and the smart woman wears feminine frills or immaculate mannish accessories, completely changing the Aspect of her entire costume in less than “nothing flat.” Bright color or white accents give a new look to her costume, with each change. Frilly necklines, flower corsages, and charming high Rembrandt of lingerie or crisp fabrics. »»vie with antique brooches and sparkling clips on collar lines. < But always there is a dramatic touch of white or color on the top of the costume. “Sophisticated Subtlety” is the mode in gloves, with the rich or I dusky beige and gray tones. But, for a dash of hip-h fashion milady will wear bright gloves as the sole note on her black or dark costume. Sometimes, the same note of color will be caught in the jeweled clip or a gay corsage or flower on the lapel. It gives a distinctly smart effect, and dates the entire costume spring 1937. Styles in gloves continue simple, but with new stitchings on the i backs, and diagonal or other decorative effects giving slender lines • to the trimly fitting new gloves. Four button or eight- button gloves are worn, depending on the length of the sleeve. The longer length appears favors with the short sleeves that give so |, much youthful glamour to spring frocks. With suits, flaring cuffs on gloves, and often color" bands give

Im—l ■■■ I ■■III ■ II.L— L” M Matched Colors Distinguish New Spring Costume Catering to the refined elegance and feminine youthfulness of 1937 fashions, the color wheel gives us a new series of “pretty pastels” and rich-hued dark tones for daytime wear. These contrast with the exotic Mexican or Spanish colors that splash gaiety through the sports mode and give verve to daytime costumes worn by the more, daring. Rosy grays and golden beiges are the season’s favorietes, and are especially liked with matching accessories of York red, Gypsy yellow, Coronation- red, Flemish blue, or one of the gay peasant hues. Vegetables Color Frocks. Onion white, mustard yellow, lettuce green, pepper red, and other new colors seem to come from grandma’s own garden in th country. But they are equally smart in the city when combined with black, navy or the new “real” browns. Modest flower colors are here again, too, the violet range, lovely petal pinks, delphinium blues, and rich goldenrod yellows brighten up the prints that are scattered' over white or dark backgrounds.

a new note. But on most gloves a wrist band or elastic gives the 11937 “fitted glove” look.

Colors Match Shoes Colored patent handbags are matched to colored patent sandals, and make a rashidn alliance hard to beat, for dressy i occasions or sports. In many other begs, shoe colors are predominant, with a bright color used as trimming conttast. Gabardine handbags, and other materials are also used to pair them with the new shoes, i Often the same, or a similar • trimming flap or handle carries • out the trimming on the shoe. Stvlists, it seems, have been getting their heads together, to give women a ensembled look.”

Pastel Wools Top Gay Print Frocks Because “two colors are smarter than one" this yeau*, Fashion leaders have adopted the “compose suit” with real iavor. Besides j giving the much desired color contrast to the costume, in printed blouse or jacket, they suggest many ways of changing the costume by wearing other jackets or capes in the new pastel flannels or amusing bright prints. ■ j. Cape ensembles, with the compose effect in lining and blouse, or with bright contrasting jackets, are a new version of this trend. Tweeds in the softer weaves, brightly flecked with contrasting yarns, give the secondary color which is carried out in underblouse or jacket. Capes are seen on many types of tsuits this year, some hanging straight and others flaring graceuily.

For that bright dash of color essential with neutral beiges or other neutral colors, Fashion turns to the daring colors of Tyrolean peasants, exotic Spanish or Mexican yellows and reds, or the soft “old” colors derived from Persian prints, Chinese embroideries, or Flemish paintings.’ A more varied color wheel has never inspired sdring styles, for it sways from the “Rose Period” of Picasso’s time and Queen Victoria’s reign, back to today’s war-torn Spain and Europe’s peasantry. o X ------- .■* ■■'... ■ Shorter Skirts Lower Necks, New Fashion Formula Skirts in spring frocks are gaily swishing in higher altitudes. Street dresses are 13 inches- from the floor and sports frocks are cqt to U inch lengths. With soft draped blouses, and high Empire waistlines continuing, Fashion gives us the new low neck ’ine in daring V-shape or youthful square lines. Sprigs of flowera, bright jewel brooches or clips and applique or embroidery gives further interest to necklines. And for dark frocks, Fashion especially favors immacilate pique or delicate lingerie ouches. ■ i

Patients Worn with Prints Smart women seem to prefer shining patent shoes, in black or dark colors, with their printed frocks for daytime. And it may be noted that some of these dresses have shining patent belts to carry out the effect. For dressier costumes, lovely pastel suede shoes are beginning to be seen, especially at afternoon tea time or evening affairs. “Sandalized within an inch 'f their lives,” these new pastel shoes are feminine to the last strap, and should be very much favored for wear with sheer prints from now on.
