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- I Stylish Tailor-Made Suit of Tweed for Spring Wear. 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 Scraps,., m of %'■ ** r' n< Hutnur2|y — 3 TESTING IT si< Elt The barber had evidently hepn J late the night before, for Ids hmut si shaky and he cut his patron's d, K f four times.
