NEW, BREFTAIN DAILY HERALD. THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1916 TAAE S "“"“”” B ™ S IRST to be noted is the length of new skirts, for they are at least two inches longer than they were last year. To be servative the skirt measures ten hes from the ground. The fullness distributed a bit more evenly, al- pugh the front and back are inclined remain flat. Yokes are conspicu- # by their absence, the extra fullness ng introduced by inverted plaits or groups of small plaits. So much the skirts. [he jackets are also conservative in gth.

Porcelain blues are repeating their ‘inter popularity, as are all the soft, edium blues,and dark blue is usual, favorite spring color, though we have ecn told all winter that this spring 1 1l would see a scarcity in dark blue owing to the dyestuff complications. It is true, however, that other colors and mixed colorings are making a strong bid for spring favor, and it may be that the manufacturers have tried to lead us away from our perennial dark blue in- stead of telling us that we cannot have it. Grays, which did not receive the support that was promised them last | season, appear to be returning to the charge, and some extremely likable suits are shown in soft silver grays, which succeed in being becoming even to women who cannot wear the darker or bluer grays. The jersey cloths, wool and silk, are a mania so far as sports wear is con- cerned and are attractive both in plain color and in stripe, but have their de cided limitations and a comparatively small color range. Checks are everywhere in evidence where one looks for new materials. They go by all manner of fantastic and unfamiliar names, as well as those with which acquaintance has been made during the past three or four sea- | sons. For instance, one finds the waf-, | fle check, the harlequin or Bakst| check, the ladder checks, the polonaise | patterns, which include a polka dot in color to mark off the square design. | For suitings the Callot and shepherd checks are bound to be popular.
