(United Press Staff Correspondent) The owner of the Fashion Shop Is very low with grippe, The cashier has bronchitis, ¢ The buyer has a nip * Of plain old influenza, while The salesgirl has the pip; The model’s mighty busy with A very active nose; And yet the window’s full of hats Of straw, and Springtime clothes. New York, Jan. 21.—You in the gayly trimmed shop windows. You can almost smell the violets and between the budding leaves and sneezes you murmur “‘Spring is almost here.” hoarsely: Y But alas! Spring is far distant and the misleading shop windows only show the spirit of pre- paredness on the part of the shop keepers. It is true that you glimpse a straw hat occasion- ally on an early head, but one straw doesn’t make a springtime any more than one swallow makes a drink. A The recent motor show called out "‘T“MM”"‘ many spring modes. One stunning model was done as to body, in a smart serge suit of castor lue. A distinetly new top of ab- sinthe green bamboo straw graced her head in the form of a cloche tur- ban appetizingly encircled with one apple, one lemon, one orange and a bunch of pearl grapes. Castor, by the way, is the newest color for spring. It vies with the suits of white serge for Southern wear and tops the new spring boots in chic rivalry with white. Pink and blue in combination is another fa- vored spring color scheme that has crept from the under the surface popularity as lingerie tints, to sur- face wear in frocks and hats.

Gather ye roses while ye may and tuck ’em and ruffle ’em apd smock ’em, too, and the result will be a duck of a dress, as quaint as an old fashioned picture. For we are still to be old fashioned this spripg to be new fashioned, and the new spring silks as well as the cottons are quaintly colored and patterned in mid-Victorian manner. The spring hats continue to climb skyward even as their winter kin apd high crowns and lofty arrangements of wings, bows and flowers distin- guish them. Taffeta is a close rival of straw as hat material and quaint little bonnet shaped or cloche hats of taffeta are trimmed in fashioned ruffles of the same. Taffeta hats faced in straw and straw hats faced in taffeta add va- riety; and two colored straw hats woven in check design in plain sail- ors of sung turban shapes are be- ginning a checkered career in these bleak months of wind and snow on which not even a checked straw hat ecan put a cheek.
