Fashions for BY MARY MARSHALL. HERE are street frocks es- peclally designed by the fer- tile-minded dressmakers here and in France to be worn without wrap of any sort. They Fuit the requirements of the woman who prefers to have a street costume of one thickness and who thus prefers 4 the one-piece street frock to the con- wentional suit or to the so-called en- semble, consisting of frock with matching wrap. If you can afford to have a well- filled wardrobe, then there should be At least one of these all-round street frocks on your list every Spring, even though you also have & tailored suit and ensemble. There are trim- ness, compactness and comfort about such a costume that nothing else possesses. he black taffeta street frock is an established fact of fashlon this Spring, and an extremely wise selec- tion this is for the woman who wants Momething that retains its crisp, trim (appearance after many wearings. For indeed there never was a fabric that keeps its youthful freshness as taffeta dces. To the mind of the ¥rench dressmaker black, of course, is the color to choose for the taffeta street frock. Combine this with white or buff color and you have the contrast needed for smartness. For general all-around usefulness choose a black taffeta frock of straight line with fairly short skirt made wearable by the introduction of a group of flat pleats in the front Deep lingerie collars and cuffs on the Van Dyke order finish the round neck and long sleeves and a vestee of the same extends down the front Y * e KAsHA ing tions of course Itisc for the not so cool needs no boost- of the smartest selec- pring frock, though s taffeta or crepe de chine. Natural kasha is the color you should choose if you can wear it, for it s undoubtedly smart at the present time. Coat frocks are not so numer- ous this season when the so-called ensemble holds the front of the stage, but they have not been neglected by tha good dressmakers. Here is a coat frock of natural kasha, very tailored looking, though not really mannish, HBrass buttons are placed down the front as on a topcoat, only, of course, there is no frock beneath it. There is the new upstanding collar that fastens to the back of the regulation notched collar, leaving a little bare space at the front of the neck, and eight pockets, three at eadh side—arranged one on top of afother—and one on each sleeve. A cream lace handkerchief is thrust in the lefthand sleeve pocket purely for ornamental purposes. The upstand- ing collar, like the pipings on the pockets, is of gold kid. There are other examples of the upstanding collar on street frocks this Spring, for the French dress- makers seem to have their hearts set upon a revival of high collars. We American women have managed to sidestep this tendency for several ¥seasons, so there is no very good rea- son why we should not continue to do =o0. Still, if you like, there is a new round ‘high collar that is part of one THE FIGURE IN THE BAC GROUND AT LEFT WEARS ED RUFFLE, COLLAR, CUFFS AND JABOT.

Most women cling to the feeling that they are not quite dressed for the street without in some way covering the back of the meck.
