March 27. 1020- Navy Is Popular for Misses’ Duds Flowered Chiffons, Taffeta Prominent Among Mate 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 Jr-’ ? Navy and White Smart Color Com bination for Spring Ensemble. 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 JXr, '-/.vXwV->av I . 1 - Ik ’V,- Youthful Outfit for Spring, With Coat of Tweed and Knit Cap. 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.
