The clever little Eton Jacket has been adopted, for Women’s Suits, and is shown in many variations, while the most fashionable Skirts are flounced, draped or displayed in tunic effects, the three tier tunic being a favorite. _ Dainty Silk Dresses of the pretty printed silks in the newer shades are most attractive. Made of the soft, clingy silks, they drape most beautifully, and they are individually and collectively charming. To sum up, the styles of this Spring are very different, the colors are different and the fabrics have been varied to correspond, and the final verdict is that they are the prettiest garments which have been brought out in years.
