MR. MACDONALD MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

Tel. 12037.

[By Joan Savoy] There is a touch of magic in some of the new spring clothes,

Not the least trick that these newcomers play is that of looking like one thing and being another.

You probably have noticed the intriguing way street dresses look like conts, And vice versa. But have you seen the new little sports. outfits that look exactly like suite, when they really are two-piece dresses?

One of the smartest of the former that 1 have run across is a neat pin-cheeked green, brown and white coat dress.

Suitable for Spring Days.

It is just the right weight for the first warm days. And nothing could look smarter for street wear.

Made with a double capelet effect and trim, sleek body lines, it fastens with self- buttons and uses them on the sleeves too.

NURSERY MUGS.

There is a line of white pique around the inside of the collar line, and inside cuffs are made of the pique, fustoning with cuff buttons, in old-fashioned manner. It has a certain "just right" young look about it that is tremendously pleasing.

Two kinds of twill, silk and wool, com- bine in the jaunty sports dreas. The upper is made of a heavy white silk twill, that tailors to perfection. It is a very abbre- viated little upper, double-breasted, with roll notched collar and deep cuffs. To be sure it could be worn as a jacket, with a little blouse under it, but it is essentially the top of the sports frock and perfect for it. The skirt is of the same type of twill; only In wool. It is a ravishing blue. Made with one flaring godet that comes clear up to the placquet line, it has new swing to it that is neat and comfortable. There is a stitched belt of the skirt'a wool to finish it,
