Tweeds Featured
for Spring Suits
Tailor-Mades Are of Warm
Pastel Tones and Popu
lar Colors.
The spring French fabrics this year
are just a little more fantastic than
ever In the past, observes a fashion
writer in the New York Herald
Tribune. Not only are the printed silk
designs more modernistic and bizarre
than any of their predecessors, but
even formerly staid woolens have
bowed before the vogue of modernism.
Following are the salient character
istics of tiie new Paris materials for
spring and summer:
French designers are still employing
Shetland tweeds because they consider
that for certain kinds of sports clothes
nothing can equal them, but there is
such a demand for rough wools that
many interesting novelty wool mix
tures are continually created and are
very widely worn.
In these fabrics anew trend Is felt.
The latest samples shown are of
rather dissonant character in their col
orings and in their weaves. Tweeds
made of black, brown and white, or of
black, white, gray and beige, fine and
large wool threads, with bulging out
knots or interlaced and knotted open
work cloths, are very irregular in
their aspect. Scotch tweeds are
sometimes edged by a border or cov
ered with quadrangle, check, plaid,
horizontal or diagonal striped designs.
For tailor-made spring suits the new
colored cloths shown are of warm pas
tel tones, scattered over ou their sur-

face with white artificial silk flakes.
On friska tiie white cotton surface
thread is sometimes scarped over in a
mossy effect.
Knotted threads are found over tiie
basket weave or ottoman surface of
many wool crepes which are still used
for practical frocks. A novelty for
lighter wool dresses is rodelic, which
resembles wool voile. Moussas or
friskas, worked into quadrangles or
losange open-work designs, are shown
to trim dresses of the same fabrics.
In- addition to tweeds of undescrib
able colorings made of neutral and col
ored threads many new spring mix
tures are made of white qnd string
beige or grayish wool threads. Nut
and negro brown are also found com
bined with white.
Silk and Wool Ensemble
Can Be Made at Home
A most useful costume that could he
made at home is a coat and dress en
semble; the dress being made of silk
and tiie three-quarter-length coat in
soft woolen material of the same
siiade. One particularly charming cos
tume is of soft blue, the dress of flat
crepe in simple design and the coat
of soft blue tweed lined with the same
material as the dress. The coat Ims
a flat stole collar, rows of stitching
being the only trimming.
A novel suit, for the younger*girl is
of vivid red flannel. The skirt has a
few plaits and the coat is single
breasted and conies only to the hips.
With this suit is worn a charming lit
tle blouse of cream colored satin,
sleeveless, the only trimming being a
clever jabot at tlie V-neckline.
Length of Coat Matter
for Each to Determine
Looking over the fashion .field coat
lengths seem to decide their own
fates. But there’s a difference be
tween them for Hie discerning woman.
Very short jackets and boleros are
excellent for the very young.
Cardigans are for suburban wear
for sports and for utility, such as
shopping suits.
Finger-tip jackets are best for the
older or larger woman.
Three-quarters coats help shorten
the tali woman’s figure.
Long coats slenderize.
Light Blue Silk Crepe;
Bandings of Dark Blue
im
Showing a dainty little frock of
light blue silk crepe with bandings of
dark blue crepe. Notable here is the
arrangement of the neckline with the
two-toned blue crepe trimming run
ning toward the waistline, where it al
most joins the bandings of wider
proportions encircling the bottom of
the blouse. Similar bandings add to
the chic of the plaited skirt and
sleeves. A group of self-toned but
tons complete the neckline trimming.
A light blue hat and blue kid slippers
are worn.
Complexion Shades in
Stockings for Women
The new shades in which
are made are causing much comment.
It seems generally agreed that the
most popular this season will be the
complexion shades. Many, of very
sheer chiffon, come in dark beige, tan
and a sun-tan tone. These are to be
worn with frocks of the new gay
prints fabrics, which have touches
of red, orange, beige, brown or any
other allied colors. For wear with
the tailored costumes the dark brown
tones are most appropriate, their very
sheerness taking away any impression
of heaviness or too somber appear
ance.
Clocked effects are found in new
and interesting designs, some very
narrow, others wide enough to cover
entirely the ankle bone. For evening
wear there are several designs that
extend far up on the leg and end with
a fancy motif, either conventional or
modernistic.
Mesh stockings are made in new
weaves that are so exquisitely woven
that they look like the one-time popu
lar face veils.
Lace or Indian Prints
Popular for Trimming
Polka dot dresses, often trimmed
with lace or India prints are extreme
ly popular in the Lenief collection of
costumes, created for the coming
summer. Such stuffs as satins, crepes,
georgettes, light woolens, heavy silks,
in black, white, navy and green are
favored. One dinner dress lias a
panel which can be dropped to form a
train; an afternoon dress lias a
matching cape which can be tried
around tiie waist to form a skirt
volant. Short, puffed sleeves and
flowers placed at back of waist are
among the novelties evolved.
Premet goes in for the rather
quaint old fashions. Silk alpaca is
used for street costumes; skirts are
reversible, being plain woolen on one
side and plaid silk on the other. The
waistline is normal.
Martial et Armand are featuring
gay colors, with yellows, greens and
plaids predominating. Their youthful
models show the 38SO silhouette while
those for maturer women have softer
draping lower waistline.
White, Black Favored in
Paris for Evening Wear
White is most fashionable for Paris
evening wear and it is very becoming
to dark or auburn hair or near a
warm or very white skin, with natural
or artificially colored cheeks and ex
pressive features. Bright colored jew
elry, like emeralds, rubies or sap
phires, can he worn as necklace, ear
rings, bracelet or brooch. Black is al
ways very striking when worn with
blond hair and brightened up by
pearls or diamonds. It is very fash
ionable iind it can he effectively en
livened by a colored wrap. Dresses
of intense colors, such as scarlet, sap
phire or chartreuse green, are also
in vogue and becoming to the same
type of woman.
Smooth Linings
ft lias been discovered that clothes
are almost ruined in weather at all
damp by sitting in them for long
stretches as one must do at a dinner
party or a theater. The only thing
"'hich will save them is a perfectly
smooth slick lining. For this purpose
nothing seems better than rayon
fabrics and these are being extensive- i
ly used for the purpose. j
