MAGAZINE PAGE. Shopping in The Newest Washington By Margaret Style Notes Warner years have suits held the spot- light so conspicuously. There is no question as to whetherl you will buy a suit; the only ques-| tion is, what suit will you buy? One of the greatest charms of the present suit vogue is that you may buy just the type or color you prefer, for there | are dozens of different kinds to choose | from. There are suits with short coats, finger-length coats, swagger- length coats, or capes; suits of man- nish rough tweeds, or suits of smooth, | sleek wools; suits strictly for sport, suits strictly for dress, suits for any- | thing in between; suits trimmed with | tifck, luxurious fur, and suits trim- | med with taffeta and moire. ’ Many of the suits are fitted, but most, of them hang straight from the | shoulder, and all except the rough and ready sport suits achieve at least a semi-fitted look by being belted. Navy | blue apparently is first on the color calendar for this Spring, but you find ‘with it black, beige and regency gray which are all runners up, while in the high style group are marina blue, runka brown and, of course, no Spring is complete without its share of green ‘The sport suits come in interesting mixtures, ranging from conservative flecks to loud and dashing plaids and stripes. One of the most important of the new fashions is the mannish suit Some are as exact copies of men's clothes as possible, others are given more feminine touches by checked or contrasting colored skirts, and a few are relieved by matching capes worn over the suits. One of the most neatly tailored suits is of tan gaberdine and reveals the mannish influence in every perfect detail. It is single breasted. PRING is in the air and suits S are in the shops. Not for has two large patch pockets and a smaller breast pocket, and the smooth-fitting collar and lapels of a man’s suit. The action back with slight fullness drawn in by a belt at the waist, gives it an unusually fine fit. The narrow skirt has a length, semi-fitted and belted in. The fur collar is of fine fox. The suit comes in two colors—azura with an azura fox collar, which lends a most unique effect, or Runko brown with a beige collar. The chiel charm of the suit 1s that the wooly weave of its material makes it suitable for sport, while its unusually lovely collar gives it a slightly dressy appearance. Before we go on to give you a few hints about your new Spring coat we should like to describe one short slit on either side—a new note for smart tailored skirts. An example of the cape version of the mannish suit is a charm- ing creation in yellow and brown tones. The skirt is brown and yellew check., as is the ascot tie attached to the back of the coat. The well tailored coat is a plain brown double-breasted model and the cape which goes over the suit is made of the same checked ma- terial as the skirt and hanes to MAN-TAILORED OF TAN GAB- FRDINE. THIS SUIT IS TYPI- CAL OF THE SPRING'S SMART SIMPLICITY. IT WAS SKETCH- ED IN A WASHINGTON SHOP. about three-quarter length. Two large slits in the cape permit arm freedom and allow a glimpse of the brown coat sleeve beneath. ‘The cape can either button snugly about the throat or lie open at the neck and form two small reveres, 'OR a suit for smart street wear we would like to recommend the navy wool crepe sketched. The straight hanging coat of swagger length is lined with moire and its wide becoming collar is also of moire. ‘The blouse is of navy moire, nicely tailored and finished with a small tie | collar, a sash and two large navy and white buttons. A modishly slashed skirt completes the charming outfit. Next we will speak of the more feminine fur-trimmed suits. A partic- ularly practical suit of this type is of the soft new material, rabbit check. ‘The coat, unlike most, is of hip A THREE-PIECE SUIT OF NAVY WOOL CREPE. THE COLLAR, BLOUSE AND COAT LINING ARE OF BLUE MOIRE. SKETCH- ED IN A WASHINGTON SHOP. last model for you which is the acme of suit sophistication. The color is black. the material a soft ribbed wool and the trimming fur is galyak. The neck treatment makes this suit outstanding with its rounded upstanding collar which tapers toward the front, and a tiny shoulder cape bordered in galyak attached to the coat by an ascot tie which runs through two small slits at either side of the collar. Thus the cape could easily be re- moved and the coat worn without it, for unlike most cape coats, this one looks as smart without the cape as with it. HE fashion decrees for Spring suits apply to coats as well, so | far as colors, materials, styles and | trimmings are concerned. But to let {you know that it is possible to get | just as charming a coat as a suit, in | spite of the fact that this is such a suit year, we shall tell you about three smart representatives of Spring coats which we noted in the shops. The first is strictly a sport coat of | wonderful heavy material, which will stand much hard wear and continue to look as good as the day you bought it for a long, long time. More youth- ful than some of the other sport | models, it is of a small brown and | green check, has a wide tailored collar and large pointed reveres, which give it that nice chesty look. The man- nish details of belted back, double- breasted buttoning and slit pockets complete its chicness. Marina blue makes a lovely Spring coat, with Peter Pan collar over a | side closing and softly draped sleeves, | very wide at the shoulder. The dis- | tinctive feature of this coat is the smartly bloused back, which is very new this season. Below the waist the back is made in narrow gores slightly flaring at the bottom, providing , slenderizing lines for the not-so-slender figure. Another delightful dressy type coat | is of medium brown novelty weave | material with a fascinating fur collar of Summer ermine. In the front it is like a square sailor collar fastened with a prystal buckle, while in the back the ermine forms two points, one on each shoulder. The sleeves are rather full with a slot seam on the outside and are gathered into a straight band at the wrist. Every detail of this coat is unusual and ex- | ceptionally pleasing. Baked Hominy. Mix together three cupfuls of canned hominy, one tablespoonful of shortening two cupfuls of canned to- matq, soup, one tablespoonful of | chopped onion, one teaspoonful of salt and a little pepper. Place in a well-greased baking dish and cover with one-fourth cupful of grated cheese. Bake in a moderate oven un- til the cheese is melted.

As it was, the fol- lowing end plays developed: East leads 9 clubs. North plays 10 clubs. A. West covers with the king. This play breaks the declarer all up. North plays Queen of clubs, spade to king, king of hearts: discards diamond. A. East, on lead with the ace of hearts, is forced to lead either his ace of diamonds, a heart or a spade. Any one of the thr.e plays will give North his game. North plays Spade to king, king of hearts, dis- carding diamond. East returns Deuce of clubs. North plays Ace of spades and a small spade. A.

TH!: first sweater which Nancy had made for & small child was so successful that she decided to try some sweaters for mere infants. She laid in a stock of fine, soft wools. Usually the shades were corn color, white, pale pink or pale blue. She felt that too few mothers chose yellow for nursery colors or for trim- ming the infant’s clothes. The yarns she chose were. usually Saxony weaves of about threefold, Occasionally she selected the yarns with the silk thread interwoven. This always gives the finished garment a bit of glint that adds to the daintiness of the effect. She avolded most of the fuzzy an- gora wools for small babies, because she discovered that some babies were annoyed by the soft, fine fuzz. Then, | too, the smoother finished yamns | seemed to stand laundering better | than the fuzzy ones. Moreover they | did not soil quite so easily. | number 3 bone needles.

ITH over 400 species scat- tered over the world, we should know something about some of the gera- niums that grow in our open woods, thickets and along the shady roadsides. In the milder climates these dainty little flowers begin to bloom in April and from this month until July you will be likely to see them as you go about on your nature hikes. From Newfoundland to Georgia and westward for over a thousand miles some member of the family grows. This one has a purplish magenta blos- som, about 11 inches wide. The flow- er is either in pairs or single on the tip of a long stem. As a rule, you find twin leaves at the base. In places where the sofl suits them they flourish to such an extent that the stems grow to be 2 feet high. The stem is always hairy, simple and branching above. Sometimes the older leaves become spotted with white. Those at the base are from 3 to 6 inches wide and 3 to § parted. The flower is very interest- ing with its hairy throat. At one time it was thought the hairs were to dis- courage guests who were not beneficial to the flower hostess, but later it was found the hairs really prevented water from coming in and destroying the Sonnysayings BY FANNY Y.

Some one has called the hairs the flower's eyebrows, for certain it is they prevent much that is objection- able from getting into the flower's eye. There are little rogues that sip the nectar and pay not one sou for their treat. The puddle butterfly, whose right name is the sulphur (look in your scrap book for her history) comes to pilfer her sweet from the gerantum. On dark, gloomy days the flower, now in the stage of being a male blos- som, will not open its face the whole day long. When the bright, warm days, with plenty of sunshine, arrive, the flower sheds its pollen on visiting guests and changes into a female flow- er. The change can be accomplished in & few hours. WOMEN'S FEATURES. the insects, who carry the pollen from one blossom to another. The one aim of the flower is to avoid cross-fertili- zation. The fascinating thing about this flower is the slender, pointed seed cap- sules that are so like a crane’s bill. In the Autumn you must watch for the ripened pods and see how the plant shoots her seeds far away from their home site. The flower has often been called the crane’s bill instead of the geranium. It is lots of fun to gather the almost ready to fire capsules, watch the five carpels split, curl back, as if made of elastic, and shower the place with seeds. (Copyright. 1935.)
