LINEN PREDOMINATE
THIS YEAR

MUCH TRIMMING ON HAT UNNECESSARY
To the vexed problem of "What shall I wear this spring?" the de- signers answer "Sult yourself at any time of the day!"
For the morning you can start now with outits of thin wool, but If you are thinking ahead remember that linen is going to be a winner for suits this year. Combine it with taffeta-it is happier that way.
Cuffs And Gloves
If you decide to have short sleeves on your jacket, see .. that the turn-back cuffs are deep.
Your gloves will have to carry most of the responsibility anyway; so they should be plain but im- portant-looking.
Suppress sternly any tendency to have a lot of trimming on your hat -if you want to say it with flowers, wait for a more formal occasion and then decide to say. very little.,
Your hat grows larger and your suit less tailored as the day wears on. If you decide on a thick silk- either real or artificial-as you probably will, you
can introduce something new in the way of linings.

BAIZE
Keep a mat or circle of baize or cork underneath vases so that they do not stain the polished furniture.
