Photographs by Fashion Camera In the spring, quite naturally, ex- treme interest in suits is mani- fested, and this chic model by Bernard has not suffered by com- parison with other suit designs, for in it there are many new, smart and om details By Edith M.

"(Above) Blue hemp straw and taffeta matching in color were used by Paulette to create this delightfully youth- ful hat, with its graceful broad roll- ing brim, on the down sloping side of which is placed an exquisite clus- ter of colorful flowers developed in chiffon and silk And this is equally true of millinery this There are small hats and large hats and hats of all sizes in between, but there one important detail in which each fashion of hat, each of hat, is included This is the decided tendency to have each hat fit down closely and fortably on the head, and let hoped that this mode will change. Did you ever look back in the family album or through a package of treas ured photographs' and have a good laugh over the fashions you wore in other days, and wasn’t your mirth sea- soned with a genuine regret when you ran across a picture of yourself or a friend for which you posed in a brand- new hat? I have in mind some such pictures in my own household, and the funniest ones of all are those in which vain femininity is shown fully attired, their gracious personage crowned with a hat of atrocious fit, sometimes not fitted at all, but seemingly perched on exaggerated hairdresses of high pom- padours or gigantic Psyche knots. If you want a new recreation, a few moments of innocent fun and a com- prehensive insight into the wonderful advancement of woman'’s ideas of dress and fashion, just hunt up some old photographs, not of your great-great- grandmother and her sisters, but of you and your sisters ten or twenty years ago. There is nothing like a practical demonstration to prove an argument, rear. is in size is com- it be never Of black milan is this semitailored hat by Jeanne Baroz, the rolling brim of graduating width faced with black satin. The trimming is an ostrich ornament in green so placed as to accentuate the unique brim line and the crown shaping and there are thousands upon thou- sands of such practical demonstra- tions showing the evolution of fa fon in this country.

The large-brimmed hat, with the graceful roll, is of blue hemp straw and taffeta matching in color. This hat was designed by Paulette, who surely created a delightfully youthful ife pictures o "RIDAY, I T e s \ smart coat in French army blue designed by L I There this model. wvin s but not of model brim is cluster The down-sloping side of the weighted with an exquisite of colorful flowers developed in chiffon and silk, and this is the only trimming used; still there is no su tion of severity i model because of the graceful brim, the soft crown and that give the air of complet, Of hiack milan is the stunning tailored hat with rolling brim of grad- uating width that is faced with blac satin.

A dress, suit and coat are the gar- ments chosen for your inspection. The dress 1s a smart semitailored one- piece model developed in navy blue serge, the ever-popular, ever-desirable fabric without which no fashion s son has been complete for severai years back.

Sport shirt blouses of check silk are ghtful examples of the pleasing practicality and good style to be re- tained in these modernly essential gar- ments.
