Glamorous Modes For Early Easter Reflects Returning Prosperity

Spring Song of Fashion Gay with Color; Feminine Modes

THE LILT OF SPRING, the fresh beauty of youth, and the romantic air of past centuries, are combined in a glamorous Easter mode that brings back pre-war luxury in modern and daring colors, Carr v fog on the dual trend in the mode, which seems so per ecth’ suited to today’s busy women, 1937 brings back the tailored suit costume as a classic m every woman’s wardrobe. And, for beauty and contrast, the otngi

leading fashion" trend turns definitely feminine, with a romantic . air of “southernbel’.e” and Camille fashions that are the delight of the very young and flattering to the more mature. There is an i.ir of youthful abandon in the swinging grace of the new frccks, the high shoulders, puff sleeves and daring low necklines. And there is a casual and pleasing effect in other frocks, showing the very new lower waistlines, and modi-; tied skirts. I MADCAP” ROMANCE IN NEW FASHIONS Pushing h"ck her li'tle hat, tilt-

By ORRY-KELLY Fairious Hc 'vwood Stylist Writing Fol' International News Service ■ HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 18. (INS) - The “B’s” have it as far as current fashions are concerned. They poll an overwhelming majority with Bretons, Bole os, Boxy jackets, .Box pleats, Bengaline, Blue fox and the combination of Biege and Black. i . Brentons have a habit of ushering in new seasons, but this year they are made with .wider,, mere up turned brims and are c'appe.d far back on the head. Lots of them have brief streamers lonp*ng over the brim in ♦he back. Rosalind Maquis, who says she’s completely sick ..of stodgy winter clothes, went down shopping and bought herself three of them-, all felt, and in the color combinations of thistle with naw blue ba’nd, gold with brown band and Kelly green with grev band. The popularity of boleros don’t seem to be waning an iota. Thev are done in all sorts of fabrics and versions, but the nicest one we’ve dme is for Glenda Farrell in “Fly Away Baby”.

SMART ACCESSORIES FOR MEN SHOW CORONATION INFLUENCE

NEW YORK—America’s wo- i men are busy checking the flood < of coronation fashions. But in i their attempt not to miss a sing'e naw thing, they have probably overlooked the fact that the coronation is setting fashions for, i their men, too. This is only nat-; ui'al. England has always been; ( the source of style inspiration for rr.en, and the coronation is a new I note in an established tradition, p Coronation fashions for men ruh the gamut of accessories from cuff links to robes. Much of the attention centered upon the coronation is focused unon the fabulous lewe's that will be used in the ceremonies. So, men’s accessories for spring should emphasize the coronation idea. One nqcktie c’.asp carries this to the last word in realism. The clasp is'an exact copy, in minature, of the British royal seeptre. Heraldic Designs Popular A second necktie accessory, coronation styled, is a cravat chain featuring a small heraldic shield emblazoned with the Brit-

Beth Johnson suffered a nerv-l ous breakdown after they to’d her that her husband had been killed by a hit and run d ivert he eve.ning he went to the drug store for cigarettes. They had been so ideally happy —Beth, Jack and Bi by Jack —that the full force of the tragedy did ! net become impressed on her mind until a few days a'fter the funeral. Then she resolved that she would spend the rest of her lifetime, if necessary in tracking down the person who had taken one life and ruined two others, and who was too ccwardly to face the consequences. One evening, about two weeks after she hrdbeen discharged from the hospital, the doorbell rang and Beth admitted; a man who said he was an attorney representing a client who had established a liberal trust fund for the boy, but who had sworn him to secrecy as to his identity Instantly, Beth knew that the client was the man who had killed. Jack and then fled from the scene, and the mere mention of money in that connection was repulsive to: “Does your client think that he can hide his guilt with money? Does he think it will make my heart ache less? Go back to him and tell him I won’t take a cent of his blood money, sobbed Beth.l

“My dear Mrs. Johnson.

It’s the new tailored version of the jacket Irock, sent over from Pans as an experiment, and widely acclaimed by America’s fashiomdjes already.

Matched Colors Distinguish New Spring Costume Catering to the refined elegance and feminine youthfulness of 1937 ftohions, 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 m'"e daring. Rosy grays and golden beiges are tne season’s favorites, 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 othe" ..new colors seem to come from grandma’s own garden in the country. But they are equally sjnart 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 NEW SWIM SUITS NASSAU, B. W. L, IVlar. 18 (INS) —Gay days on tropical sands are proving inspiration for appearance of many beach fashions. Among the newest is the Pareo swim suit which Lady Clifford, wife of the Hon. Sir Bede Clifford, K. C. M. G., Governor of the Bahamas, wore during the fashionable bathing hour on the British Colonial Quay recently. The suit was of water-proofed cotton decorated with a marine blue and white hibiscus print.

Peasant Embroidery, Prints Brighten New Frocks

LITTLE JACKETS”!, with nipped-in.waistlines, flaring peplums or short boxy boleros, give an air of “little girl” naivete to spring frocks. Princess dresses, in the Tyrolean manner, or with a suggestion of the Empire line in shirred bustlines, are also popular. A “fashion must” in every woman's wardrobe, the jacket frock gives many opportunities for quick changes and variation in the costume. Fitted jackets, mannish

jackets, or others in casual styling a-e all smartly matched or; contrasted to the newer dijesses, i But, for a little more dash, many a smart woman will chopse a Spanish bolero. MAINBOCHER’S BOLERO REDINGOTE j Carrying out the ensemble theme, , the bolero redingeje has become v fashion favorite. Frequently, the bolero is seperate from the redingote, so tfiat by; leaving off one or the the print or pastel frock underneath looks like an entirely different costume. Lingerie necklines, and daintily embroidered or lace-trimmed cuffs give interest to many oi these costumes, especially on ' pastelsheeis. Prints, however] continue to be leaders. And prints appliqued in spaced sprsysj on the plain frock, give a new variation that is charming. VIVID ACCENTS I ON DARK SHEERS Whether the accent be. in applique or embroidery, the bright touch on the dark sheer carr ; es on this fashion theme in new spring dresses. Bright embroideries, too, are used on necklines and high placet! pockets or bel s, Pleasant colorings* daring reds, greens, or yellows] give a youthful air of peasantry that is; a happy change. White, beige or patspl tones are also used tQ give abcent to; dark sheers. And beige,; gray or dusky pastel frocks are decided’yj smart when worn with dark accents or black. j I

PLEASANT FULLNESS OR PLEATS . Lace tnd marquisette or sheers are lovejv this year with their new peasant skirts gathered to snug little bodices, or their pleated skirts swinging from the tight little waistlines. Although worn on; by the more slender woman, they have found their way through the sports mode, into afternoon frocks and evening dresses, and they’re so ycung and so romatie that they will surely be popular all summer. Casual types, favored by many women, are showing the newer and lower waistlines, and definitely slim skirts in which fullness is often concealed in pleats. These models are often trimmed wuh dainty lingerie or embroidery collars and cuffs, jabots of frills, so that they, too, have the fem-» inity of this year’s mode. Fabrics are turning sheer early (his year, with tailored laces, marquisettes, checked romaines, novelty leno weaves, lacy stripes, £ nd softer crepe de chine weaves eadmg in Easter frocks. 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 cut to 14 inch lengths. With soft draped bfouses, and h ; ph Empire waistlines continuing, Fashion gives us the new low neckLne in daring V-shape or outhful square lines.
