PRING fashions burst into-print! It's time to put away

little silk dresses which emulate the cheery spring spirit it- self.

Every woman needs printed dresses and right now is the time to get. The new prints are quite different from those we wore last apring. They are so interesting in thmselves that no monotone material is needed for contrast. And fast spring it was modish to use plain colours in combination with printa.

The patterns are varied as to colour and design, but diminutive figures are more popular than larger ones. Tiny checks, stripes and moderate-sized motifs are carried out in vivid colours against contrasting backgrounds.

Little rosebud and daley patterns will strike the fancy of the girl who takes her printed dress in a flowery way. Geometrical figures and mathematical duts and dashes are in the fore. Dots have a tendency to be grouped in little spota here and there instead of being sprinkled in all-over denign. Wear something vivid. White dots on a flamboyant-red background make a grand spring colour combination. And then there are blue, green, brown with contrasting coloured patterns printed on them."

the past Ventrille This is your

chance to get a little colour in your life... The printed ault vics for favour with the one-piece drese. And ensembles oro smart, if your skirt and jacket are of an extremely vivid print, wear a plain white blouse of batiste, volle, organdle or silk with them.

One-piece dressea' with matching jackets are appropriate for any woman, particularly a girl who goes to business. When you wear the little coat, you're dressed for the street. Take it off and you're ready to begin the day's work.

The jacket costume with the top of the dress in contrasting, solid coloured material is popular. In that case, if the coat is lined at all, the lining will be of monotono fabric to match. the yoke of the dress.

Two-piece models lend themselves well to printed fabrics, One nice two-place outfit has a straight, form-fitting skirt with a shirt-waist bodice. The bolt is plain-coloured leather. It's a sporting little number with a tailored smplicity about it which is charming.

Prints invado the ovening mode, too. There aro glaniorous" printed satin dinner sults and printed silk and satin evening gowns. If you have any idea that prints should be worn only in the daylight hours, you'll chango your mind once you sen those new evening gowns,

A TWO-PIECE sports frock of brown and white novelty silk with polka dots is shown below. It has white composition buttons at the neck and a plain brown leather belt.
