T

THIS year brings not only a great diversity in fashion, but in materials, Not in many reasons has there been so wide a range of fabrics, elegant and simple, to tempt

Ilse eye.

In silks, particularly, it is interesting to notice that the stiffer silks are all having their inning, and that taffetas and moires are very smart. So is faille, which is admirable for suits and for day attire, and foulard, which is being intro- duced this year for evening as well as afternoon."

But georgette crepe and chiffon have lost none of thei prestige, while washable silks and men's shirtings are ex tremely smart for sport.

',

Two types of satin are used for summer gowns one is the conventional satin, with less lustre and more softness, and the other is the old-fashioned stiff type, which is fascinating, for period frocks.

The interestingly woven silks that used to be available only for neckties, are now seen in sports attire, as are serge and tweed patterned silks.

IT IS worth noting that the frock of plain colored crepe de chine is often combined with printed silk for the tic, belt and possibly the cost lining. Silk jeracy and koitted silks dre shown in greater variety than ever before.

And of course printed silka, no matter how tired you may be of certain wom-to-death patterns, are shown in fascinating new interpretations, and are seen in practically every type of

ilk made.

The only warning about printed silku is to be careful ni the subject matter. Those patterns that are often amusing to the eye, when seen in the stores, arc-tiresome on the figure, while thore patterns that are less definite fend an indefinable charm to the wearer.,

In colors, when you are in doubt, buy black or white.

White for sport wear is always chic, as is black for the street. Colored accessories give the note of dash and pep.

All shades of yellow, from the palest lemon to the deepest orange, are given great consideration. Pinks are very good, and there is a vivid shade of red for every complexion. Anil remember that you should be a sun-tanned rather than a lily. white maid this year.

For street and for town wear, that deep, hard, bright blue is sponsored by the most carefully dressed women, accented with beige or white. Beige is always a conservative choice, and there are certain tones of gray that are most satisfying, In printe. those with a navy blue foundation, or deep red. lead in popularity.

FOR spring wear, nothing is more youthful and chic than Jenny's softened version of the tailleur shown at the lower left. This outfit is of dark blue poplin with a bluuse of rege satin and a coquettish little blue tic.

The wise gil always has a good-looking blue suit tucked away somewhere in her wardrobe, for this nid standby af Dame Fathion is always in style, when properly cut. Every teacon finds a place for the dark blue tailleur no matter what colors or combinations of colors, may be in favor among the coutouriers and their patrons.

For afternoon wear, what could be more delightfully femi wine, or more in barmony with the spirit of the season than the Martial et Armand printed silk casemble at the upper rizkid. It combines a simple but elegantly cut coat of blick silk crepe, with a printed silk finck in which an overpattern of black is used on a ground of pink,

The coat is lined with pink and the dress faced with black. That beguiling how on the shoulder is a very feminine touch, much newer and smarter than the conventional flower.

The chapeau wern walk this outfit is of fine black ballibunt,

folded and combined with black crepe, which allows just mi enough width at the side to make it more becoming to the average face than the more severe type of cap-turban.

And, speaking of hals, consider the model from Marcelle Lely, shown at the top center. In this creation_points of, brawn felt are cleverly incrusted on a perfectly fitting turban of beige.

For theex picturesquences, no, evening gown can exceed the one from Mag-Helly illustrated at the left center. In this gown an overdress of taffeta in a luscious and fuminous shade of pink is worn over an underskirt of silver lace and. pink chiffon. The dignity of the long skirt is questioned by ike impudence of the front abbreviation and a delightful con tradiction is achieved.

This frock has a pink, taffeta sash, with bow ends wide enough to show from the front. The encrustations of em

roidery are in soft French pastel shades, with a touch of silver.

ILLUSTRATIVE of the rogue for tulle is the charming evening frock at the upper left. This was designed by Drecoli-Beer, for Mlle. Marie Belle of the Comdeie Fran- caise. Several shades of mauve tulle are blended in the many sunnil flouncer all edged with a moire ribbon' in a deeper shade.

A Victorian looking tash of fairly narrow moire ribbon has ends which reach from the normal waistline to the lost ruffle on the skirt. The same ribbon forms a V-line in the front and back of the bodice.

There is something sophisticated about this frock even though it seems also to carry a suggestion of the sub-deb.

Needless to say, the skirt is very long. All skirts in Paris are long in the evening, and those for day are definitely and steadily going down.
