HARDY AMIES: This designer's "Lady Spring 1938" will wear an elegant little sult in a basket weave suiting such as this one with a straight loose back and the fronts curved in to flatter the bustline. The wide-collared jacket fastens at the side, les replacing buttons. Her short skirt has trouser picats in front and in the hollow of her back, and tapers to the hema. 2.
