Sweaters, however, are no longer a nondescript garment worn for warmth; they are the very garment that adds the chic note to many a cos- tume; for instance, a sweater worn with a pleated skirt and a square-neck blouse becomes a smart sports dress; a sweater worn with a tailored suit takes the place of a blouse, and a sweater worn with a silk frock—one or two- piece, makes it a costume for sports and after— As illustrated in the costume sketched; the striped sweater, $10.75; the frock, $59.50.

White The extreme distinctiop that belongs to black with white is smartly evidenced in the collections of black and white fashions for Spring.

It may be one of several types, how- ever—adapting itself to many occasions. There is that aristocrat of fashion, the strict tailleur; the suit that makes its skirt of a contrast- ing shade: the single-button, double - breasted suit: the mannish suit with a vest; the suit developed in those tweeds and homespuns that have ac- quired a smart, new coloring, and a formality of weave that fits. them for wear in many places where tweeds have not been worn before. Illustrated in this man- nish suit, $39.50. Suits $25 to $62.50 Misses” Suit Section, Third fioor. The Youthfal Bolero «-the fashion of youth—finds a new interpretation in the Spring mode. No longer is it a separate short ‘jacket that slips off, but an integral part of the dress. The newer ver- sions are more lovely—more charmingly youthful than ever before. One finds here a wide and varied collection of this Spring fashion. One lovely version of the bolero is illustrated in this Misses’ crepe de chine frock, $22.50. Bolero Frocks, $22.50 to $39.50 Misses' Section, Third floor. Diagonal Tuckings —distinguish the 1927 Spring coats-—whether the tucking is over the entire coat, just the bottom or forms intricate and complicated designs. One may choose from a wide va- riety of fabrics and colors, as well as the very fashionable black. The newest furs of the season—including Ameri- can broadtail, trim these diag- onally tucked coats— As illustrated in this model of black kasha, with a shawl callar of American broadtail, $79.50. Diagonally Tucked Coats $49.50 to $125 Misses and Women's Coat Sections Third floor. G i mq ) g 11 AP o AL ST il Ol The Jacket Frock One sees numerous of these smart little jackets worn for Spring—cardigan, or tying - at the side—worn to lunch and slipped off later to dis- close a chic little tea-dance frock—sometimes sleeveless; sometimes not. Usually fash- ioned of sheer fabrics— charmingly embroidered with a bit of color, or metal thread; or combined with lace, as in the distinctive little example sketched—ifor a chic Junior Miss of thirteen, fif- teen or seventeen. Illustrated, a beige-tan sheer crepe jacket frock, with an attached blouse of lace, and a coat flower of deeper brown suede, $39.50. Jacket Frocks, $29.50 to $39.50 Junior Misses® Section, Fourth floor. The Bow —is a detail of much im- portan‘wn, because it is so significant of a fashion in- creasingly feminine. Bows may be large and soft, small and chic—few or many, on any frock—but where there’s a bow, there smartness lies. Bows often perch on the shoulder of a lovely frock— often sweep from the low neckline of a bouffant dance frock—often tie at a smart angle. The frock sketched, in soft shades of brilliant red chiffon, with a huge bow of red taffeta, $75. Bow Frocks, $25 to $75 The Walnut Room. Women's and Misscs’ Sections hird floor. The Black Satin Coat —gleams as the most impor- tant coat fashion for Spring —especially when monkey fur trims it. Interesting and intricate cut, tucking and tiers distinguish these black satin coats for Spring. Some- times white light beige furs sharply contrast with the black sheen of the satin— making a striking combina- tion. The black satin coat sketched is most effec- tive with long tuxedo collar of monkey fur, $125. Black Satin Coats $59.50 to $125 Hitsw'gdnd Women's Coat Sections
