Summer Suits for Fair Forms Claim re- By “MARJORIE” (Written for The United Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—New York's manufacturing district is working upon spring models full- tilt, and even the retail trade is showing advance lines, while Mi- lady purchaser is quite agog at these spring revelations in January. Style trends have not really crys- tallized as yet, although various lines show some points of similar- ity which tell what the season's mode will be. Suits are more varied than any- thing else, especially in the matter | of trimming.

One model combines henna and peacock blue | beads with floss of the same shades.
