for Misses’ Duds

rials Favored.
Women of adult yenrs who think
the problem of finding suitable
clothes at all difficult would be enor
mously cheered up if they remembered
the hitter struggles of their teens, ob
serves a fashion writer in the New
York World.
When you hnve a deep yearning for
a beaded evening dress of undoubted
decollete and your mother is firm in
her preference for pink rosebuds, no
good will ever come of it. With this
difficult problem in mind several of
the large shops have started new
junior departments dedicated to the
awkward age, but referred to in tact
ful French as catering to the “jeune
fille.”
The old misses’ department have
been so courted by the small woman of
legitimately grownup tastes that they
have gradually acquired an air of
sophistication which makes most of
their costumes too worldly to pass
muster at even the most lenient
boarding school.
The radical differences between the
costumes proper to those who are
seventeen and those who are still hope
fully waiting are in the evening
dresses. The most demure of these are
set aside for boarding school dress-up
evenings, when long sleeves and other
boring features are usually required.
These gowns appear in their pret
tiest versions in ilowered chiffons that
show a small, widely scattered pat
tern on a pale ground. Chiffon and
taffeta are the fabrics most employed,
and a quite respectable bouffant ef
fect is permitted in the latter material.
In the more dashing costumes which
the girl may wear for formal dinner
during vacations, sleeves are omitted
but only the primmest suggestion of a
decollete is considered smart. The un
even hem is also reserved for those
blessed days after the debut and it is
felt very strongly by the authorities in
such matters that Louisebouianger did
not design the down-in-the-baek move
ment for young chits still awaiting
their diplomas.
Flowered Taffeta Party Dresses.
One charming affair suitable to these
trying * years is an adaptation of
Augusta Bernard’s deep blue taffeta
and tulle, with its tight little bodice,
high waistline and tiers and tiers of
tulle making the flaring skirt. In
some versions a taffeta skirt is substi
tuted. There are many beguiling ruf
fles and tiny sleeves appear.
Another amusing evening dress, of
yellow taffeta this time, has a properly
modest neckline and arm-holes and
lias the very high waistline emphasized
by a large crushed chou of navy blue
taffeta. This w T ould be a splendid com
promise between the Pola Negri lean
ings of the daughter and her mother’s
more conservative taste.
Two-toned taffeta affairs made up
on quaint lines, are considered good*
and flowered taffeta is charming.
Watch for tulle butterfly bows and for
diagonal taffeta collars that cover the
shoulders instead of sleeves.
As far as daytime clothes go, there
are few forbidden paths for the young
girl. Since every woman who steps
into a sports costume hopes to look
seventeen, the girl of this age is sitting
pretty. She will find that this year’s

smartest daytime tilings emphasize the
one-piece dress accompanied by an im
pertinent little jacket in preference to
the two-piece mode. There will be a
wide belt defining the natural waist
line.
There will he shown many combina
tions of a jersey dress and jersey coat,
or of a coat, blouse' and little jacket,
all of jersey. In such outfits as these,
and also when a jersey blouse accom
panies the conventional tweed suit, the
newest practice is to have the blouse
of a darker shade than the coat and
skirt. The blouse is almost always of
the tuck-in variety, about which there
is such a pother these days. If any
one can carry off this fashion with
grace, it is the young thing whose
waistline is a gloriously concrete fact.
Coats May Be Double-Breasted.
Several good examples of all these
types of costume are now available for
spring. One smart ensemble, carried
out in a two-tone arrangement of solid
bands of color contrasting at various
points, lias a knife-plaited skirt which
suddenly goes straight just above the
hips. A tiny belt, placed high, em
phasizes the thin waist that is the re
ward of bnsket ball practice, and the
accompanying little jacket has a scarf
collar.
An interesting crepe dress is printed
in a conventional tricolor pattern (in
cidentally young things are not going
to have any monopoly on the national
colors for spring), and is interesting in
illustrating the new straight up and
down back which has set Paris a twit
ter. The skirt is circular only in the
fro;.;, a bow at the waist draws the
blouse to a high waistline in the front
only and the little jacket is unlined.
Coats for the flapper demand earnest
attention as she is forbidden fox scarfs
and must always worry along with
whatever fur may come attached to the

coat. Some smart coats are being
shown in a sort of string tweed and
some in that novelty tweed that looks
heavy and is light.
The coats and suits are accompanied
by simple scarf collars or else are fin
ished off, man’s style, with a notched
collar, to be later supplemented by a
folded scarf of heavy silk. The coats
may be full or three-quarters length,
but must have an air of deliberate
simplicity. One very chic coat is
double-breasted and lias only two but
tons, arranged horizontally.
Many of the suits are made on
equally severe lines in plain tweed, and
have either a short or three-quarter
length coat. One suit of the latter
type is of the double-breasted school
and has a broad suede belt and a
skirt intended to be worn with a
tucked-in blouse.
Lighter suits are made of shark
skin, woven wool or man’s suiting, and
are thoroughly businesslike affairs,
with notched collars, a kick plait on
either side of the skirt and a double
breasted coat.
Navy and white will be a smart
color combination for the spring en
semble. A navy repp jacket suit that
is jauntily bordered with a band of
white wool, the overblouse a blue and
white printed affair of unusual possi
bilities, with an off-the-forehead hat,
comprises an outfit that bids for favor.
Smart and youthful is a coat of
tweed, worn with an orange and tom
ato scarf, and an angora knit cap.
Gay Colors for Hats.
The spring hats show a large variety
of straws and near-straws which are
used in combination with felt crowns.
Braid tweed straws and milan braid
straws are shown in all shades from
pale pastels to a red that would give
any bull a bad fit of hysterics.
The tain, the beret and the turban
in their less sophisticated versions are
all grist to the young girl’s mill. One
floppy tarn is of angora straw in the
orchid shade that will be very popu*
lar when summer is definitely here.
The gob hat, worn by languid ladies
on the Riviera beaches, is developed
in a two-toned crocheted straw with a
smart little velvet bow placed imme
diately on the top of the head.
A rattier less casual hat of this type
is developed in a wool and straw braid
of pink and white and shows a little
lining of French blue grosgrain ribbon
about the scalloped brim. Utterly
shapeless and charming are some hats
of tricolor wool braid that looks like
straw and cannot be crushed by the
most indefatigable of school children.
The Deauville cap, developed in wool
jersey of the stocking-cap sort, uses
two bright colors combined in alter
nating pie-slices. Beret tarns, hand
crocheted in Austria in modernistic
patteftis, will tempt many mothers to
sneak into their daughter’s closets and
coolly annex them.
More conventional hats of straw will
be interesting this year in that their
very noticeable brims will usually be
even all the way around. Later pea
nut straws, bakus and milans will be
very important and hats of woven
straw will he shown in two tones that
carry out the check idea.
Gingham is being stressed for sum
mer wear and lots of hats will have
gingham crowns, broad straw brims
and triangular scarfs of matching ging
ham.
