Sense of Artistic. But this brings us down to the fact the women must have a certain amount of ingenuity and a sense of he artistic jf they wish to appear ell. dressed on a limited amount of money. It is true that gingham, glass jewels and imitation furs are “chic” these days, but only if they are worn on someone who has the creative ability to combine them as they should be combined. Money means nothing if it’ isn't backed up by a sense. of the artistic. That is why some women put.a fifty dollar bonnet on their heads and look, like something the cat. dragged in. turn now? Having evoked delight- ful changes in frock and coat and footwear, designers have set about supplying accessories that will add greatly to the smartness of the new Spring wardrobe.

So many women make the mistake of wearing the same colors year in and year out. This fs particularly true of the small town women. If her hair is fuburn she will probably cling to browns and tans until her friends accept her “sun-dried apple” effect as pers manent. Others think blue is their allotted shade and never vary from it. These women never look differ- ent and are often confronted with the question, “What a pretty dress —tis it new?” One has to look “new’ when living in the consentrated at- mosphere of a small community. Always Keeping Ahead. I have an acquaintance who is constantly ‘fighting the dreas prob- Jem in a Long Island suburb, where Women are judged by the “chic” rather than their bank rolls. While her clothes allowance is limited, her name seldom is omitted from the Ust of guests at smart surburban functions. She has conquered the dress problem by keeping just a step ahead of the styles, by concentrat- ing on effect ‘rather than detaijand by varying the personality of her wardrobe. Assortment of colors and styles are the keynotes which mark ber as a well dressed women. She varies from an Eton jacquette debut- ante to a sinuously-gowned vamp.

Dress. Hints For Ladies By HEDDA HOYT {Fashion Editor of The United Press) NEW YORK, March 15,—(United Press.)\—Then neWest sports suits for mountain climbing and rough wear are combining the knickers with the detachable, wraparound skirt. Short mannish jacquettes have knickers of same materials and wrap-about skirts of self ma- terial or of stripe or plaid mixtu: The skirt is hel@ by one large but- ton_at the waist line and is slit to the hem. When not in use it makes an admirable cape. Eton collars are used on many of the new, daytime frocks. Some- times these, are made of white ermine. The bow tle which ts worn with them has ends which extend to tha waist or below. The blouse is getting away from the batteau neckline. Square necks are considered somewhat smarter at Present. Monograms aro still used on blouses of the sport variety and many of the debutants are havin; monograms made in Chinese letter- ings. “Elephants for luck,” says Milady as she purchases little earrings with cornelion elephants used as pen- dants Lip-sticks painted with ele- phant glesigns meet with equal approval these days. Drooped shoulder effects . are found on many of the newer suits and gowns of dressy type. “With the tube silhouette the part of elabo- ration often falls to the sleeve’ and we find the drooped shoulder with the embroidered puff which 1s caught in at the wrist a pretty sub- stitute for the skin-tight sleeve. Black and white combinations are considered among the smartest of the spring’s showings. Coca and green are popular for day time dresses and yellow and Chinese red are being introduced for evening wear.

There's a theory that the Chinese let their fingernails srow long so that they can pick up money easily. This might be a good hunch for the American MahJong hounds who play for stakes. Chinese Accessories Several shops are selling necklaces with pendants of ivory MahJong Utles, attached to colored cords. These Open at one end and either contain dice or small bottles of Or- fental perfume. Oriental perfumery, by the way, is quite the vogue, and one can buy sets consisting of four small bottles shaped and ornament- ed like Mah-Jong tiles, filled with perfumes of Jasmine, China Lily, Sandlewood and Oriental mixtures. Hatpins made or carved jade and carnelian hoops are used on some of the smart new turbans. Other millionery ornaments combine jade. acquamarine and turmaline in Chinese settings. Necklaces, alternating amber and carved sandlewood beads, are worn by the smartly-gowned women of Palm Beach. Carnelfan chains with crystal rondels are also popular. Kingfisher feather jewelry is again being worn combined with coral. Earrings of kingfisher are particularly popular. Figured crepes and taffetas use small Chinese designs and figures on brilliant backgrounds.. Many Spring Jacquettés are lined with these.
