'RENCH collections for spring are full of pleasant surprites, rather than striking innova. tioni.
The silouette has not greatly changed. The Tipline is still narrow, the skirt irregular and much longer, and the sleeve shows signs of in- creased importance.
In colors, it is well to mark the importance of yellow. Yellow enjoyed a great triumph at Palm Beach, and at the resorts along the Rivi cra, and is smart for day and evening as well. It is expected to take first position for the sum
iner.
.
The colors for this spring are all on what is known as eff colors. Undoubtedly the popu larity of off white is responsible for this. Puse dile is almost unknown now; it is grayed, pinked, or blued ever sa slightly. And the number of off-whites is now legion.
Off colors are more sophisticated, this season, than pure color. A blue that is grayed, or a rose that is toned to rose beige is infinitely more fashionable than a color which suggests fess depth.
All the Paris coutouriers are making effective we of off colors in their spring creations. And the mode is delightful.
Philip et Gaston are doing very interesting things with off blues and grays, and toning them so harmoniously that they all but play scalca.
With sport togs, the tuck-in blouse has a-lieved universal recognition, and you find it in heavy silk and satin, with the new lightweight., tweed and jersey..
ILLUSTRATING le new yogue for yellow
· the jersey spurts outfit from Bernard et Cie thown at the upper right. It has V-shaped tucks and bands of brown. A very intér esting touch, showing how the vogue for oma. mentation is influencing sports altire, is the pendent of gold, wills the dark brown, stones, which is the highlight of the costume, and gives it that touch of completeness which is the aim of ' every frock..
Very interesting, too, is the Bernard et Cie evening gown at the lower left. This is made of white satin, with a deeply swathed hip and
Its aim Jong panels in the side and back, plicity is challenged only by the decoration, which is a spray of dark red velvet flowers on the shoulder.
Red is much liked as a trimming on white, buth for day and evening. Smart Thile coats and cardigans of bright red velveteen or jerry are very snappy with a while silk or cotton pique sports dress, or with the simple one-piste white

crepe de chine. And red hats were never so accepted before.
Just the right shade of red in millinery-and one might as well admit this is not easy to de terpine-will cast the most rosy and youthful glow over the face. The Parisienne matches her hat and her lipstick, and would never make the mistake of using a red in millinery that is not in complete harmony will ber cosmetics.
PATOU'S afternoon frock of navy blue crepe
ilustrated at the left-is the answer to the question: "What shall I wear," nine times out of lep. It can be worn for any day occa sion, and always has smarthess and distinction. The horizontal tucks about the waist, the ever so tiny sash at the back, and the jabot of self ma- terial ne salient style points. And the cut of the skirt, with its graceful but not 100 irregular hemline, is most becoming.
In millinery. Paris is quite interested in the new halo hate, that frame the face with a circle of light or of darkness, according to the laste of the wearer. Madame Jane Blanchol created the model at the upper left. It is of black felt with a bandeau of small white feathers across the brow. This chapeau, worn by Madame Lucie Caffarct, piante, is just about as small, close-fitting, and smart as any hat need be.
Iti band of white is very trying, of course, and demands a youthful face, a marvelous com- plexion and eyes that are not too tired.
A more generally becoming halo hat is the dark blus model at the top center. This hat points over the cars and is folded slightly across The forehead. It gives the effect of a, halo, but a moje wearable hale than the other,
The Parisicone loves this type of hat, because she knows it has the inspired line across the face,
THE mannequin wearing the, hul is dressed in x-
most attractive frock of blue crepe, em broidered in darker bfuc, and her sleeves have the new elbow cuff that is up-to-the-moment, The wide gold bracelet with the large green stones is one of the newest ideas in costume jewelry.
Another bracelet that is the rage in Paris may be seen on the hands that are just getting into the smart antelope bag shown above. This bracelet is made of jade, crystal and black, formed completely of large rectangular stones. one of Patou's latest pieces of costume jewelry that would grace a wrist to the queen's taste..
The bag, of dignified elegance, has an oddly shaped top of tortoie thell and a wide open- ing so that it is possible to find one's cariare or lipstick, without a complete revolution,
