'RENCH collections for spring are full of pleasant surprizes, rather than striking innova tions.

The silhouette has not greatly changed. The hipline is still marrow, 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- era, and is smart for day and evening as well, It is expected to take first position for the sum

mer.

The colors for this spring are all on what is known as off colors. Undoubtedly the popu larity of off white is responsible for this. Pure white is almost unknown now; it is grayed, pinked, or blued ever so 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 feta depth.

All the Paris coutouriers are making effective use of off colors in their spring creations. And the mode is delightful..

H

Philip et Gaston are doing very interesting things with off blues and grays, and toning. them so harmoniously that they all but play scales.

With sport logs, the tuck-in blouse has arhieved universal recognition, and you find it in heavy silk and satin, with the new lightweight tweed and jersey,

ILLUSTRATING the new vogue for yellow is the jersey sports outfit from Bernard et Cie shown at the upper right. It has Vehaped tucks and bands of brown. A very inter esting touch, showing bow the vogue for orna: mentation it influencing sports attite, is the pendant of gold, with the dark brown slanes. which is the highlight of the costume, and giver it that touch of completeness which is the aim of every frock.

Very interesting, too, is the Bemard et Cic. evening gown at the lower left. This is made of white satin, with a deeply swathed hip and long 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.

Its im

Red is much liked as a trimming on white, both for day and evening. Smart little cools and cardigans of bright red velveteen or jersey are very snappy with a white silk or cotton pique. aporty dress, or with the simple one-piece white

crepe de chiae. And red hats were never 10 accepted before.

Just the right shade of red in millinery-and one might as well admit this is not easy to de- termine 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 with her coimetics.

PATOUS afternoon frock of navy blue crepe

-illustrated at the left-is the answer to the question: "What thall I wear," nine times out of len. It can be worn for any day occa- sion, and always has smaitress and distinction. The horizontal tucks about the waist, the ever in tiny sash at the back, and the jabot of tell ma- terial are salient style points. And the cut of the skirt, with its graceful but not loo irregular heinline, is most becoming.

In millinery. Paris is quite interested in the new halo hats, that frame the face with a circle of light or of darkness, according to the taste of the wearer. Madame Jane Blanchot created the model at the upper left. It is of black felt with a bandents of small white feathers across the brow. This chapeau, worn by Madame Lucie Caffarct, pianiste, is just about as small, close-fitting, and smart as any hat need be.

Jis bard 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 blue model at the top center. This hat points over the cars and is folded slightly across ile forehead. It gives the effect of a balo, but a more wearable hale than the other.

The Paritienne laves this type of hat, hecance ske knows it has the inspired line across the face.

THE mannequin wearing the hat is dressed in a

most attractive frock of blue crepe, em- broidered in darker blue, and her sleever 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 mort antelope bag shown above. This bracelet is made of jade, crystal and black, formed completely of large rectangular stones. one of Phou's latest pieces of costume jewelry that would grace a wrist to the q.teen's taste.

The bag, of dignified elegance, has an oddly shaped top of tortoise shelf and a wide open- ing so that it is possible to find one's cariare or lipstick without a complete revolution,
