Whether you take ten or cocktails or neither, the new colour notes are sure to please. What
can resist Martini green? It's luscious shade which antters bondles, brunettes and brown-haired girls alike. Don't any that you can't wear green until, you've held a Martini green cocktail suit against your throat. `
Champagne is another colour which is out standingly good this spring. It is revived from time to time and its palo, pinkish-gold tones always are flattering. It's ideal for a girl, who can't wear pure white but who likes palest pastels.
Lucky la the woman who invests in a dressy sult for the now sults and ensembles really
are Investments. You can wear them to all sorts of afternoon parties, amart luncheons, dinners in hotels and the like. They are clothes which will be suitable for general daytime wear and will accept the tea hour as just a pleasant Interlude in the day's activities instead of us an occasion calling for special gala dressing.
As a reaction from the glittering and formal cocktail costumes the new clothes are tailored In line and finishing.
Sult jackets are pulled forward. It's modish to went a perfectly plain skirt, flattering blouse and a jacket which fits smoothly across the back but is gathored under the bolt in front. You may think that fulness in front will mar an otherwise Ant line. But you'll know differently anea you get into a dressy spring sult.
Ensembles, consisting of dresses and mat-
Whether you buy a suit or a dress, you'll find the new styles make use. of
many charming colors
shing three-quarters or seven-eighths coats, are handsome. One grand ensemble in Martini green has a tailored dress with light green tuffeta vestes and a three-quarters cont which has fur-trimmed sleeves and a collarless, neck-
line.
Für, trimming is Invishly used on spring sults and ensembles. You can have a soft fox collar, deep bands of fur around your sleeves nt the elbows or a band around each cuff. White fox dyed in colours to match the fabrie 'of your suit or' dress is a 1934 Innovation. Navy blue uses navy blue fur; pink frocks are trimmed with pink fur, and so on.
Hots to wear with these dressy afternoon things are off-the-face, for the most part. It's fashionable to let your hat show, not only all of your forehead but part of your hair in front top.
