TATASA TE ET By Margery Wells. 4 OOK at the picture of your grandmother. Then look at the picture of the girl on this page, with her lace bertha and her drooping earrings. Don’t they look very much alike, after all? Well, that is one of the interesting things about the modern fashions. Some of them are so extremely advanced and emancipated, but close at hand you will find also some that revert to the days of our ancestors. If the truth were known, we are refusing to break away from tradition and picturesqueness all at once. We still have notions way back in our heads that we will make some sort of a picture appear- ance, and these are the ways we are doing it. Earrings Carved From Jade. Of course, this vogue for earrings takes us back to antique styles with a vengeance, and every time we find ourselves choosing a new pair of dangles, then, if we have any sense of the fitness of things, we see quite plainly that we must make our costumes conform to the decora- tion in some way or other. The girl with the lace bertha has done this admirably, for the character of her bodice trimming and the drops that hang from ‘her ears quite suit ach other and conform to the style of her gown, making the impression he creates altogether interesting. ‘These earrings are ca:ved from ‘white jade and they are large enough to be real points of interest all by themselves. However, you can see how wholly out of proportion and keeping they would be were they worn with anything not strictly in harmony with their make-up. The Grecian Dresses. All, or rather many, of these new Straight dresses we are wearing—those ‘With simple and unin‘: rupted lir-s— take their inspiration from the plain and unadorned Grecian drese-s of particular as the color which above all others stands out as ultra smart. Lace Hats for Dinner-Time. Lace is one of the most popular hat materials this season, And the filmy fabric is being handled so the hate look entirely different from those of They are bright, new and charming expressions, and of all the becoming fashions that have ever been designed for women's heads these are the most alluring, There Is a little lace bonnet in the Picture, orn with the white sili dress. It ts frilled about the face and falls down at the side in a cascade, with narrow ribbons and nestling in the folds of the lace, There are wide and spreading lace other seasons. rosebuds * REESE NE SURES Old Time Lines Ins Reaction mas Set Im 5 JN SPuc And Fowing Classical Robes ‘ THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1929, in such a manner that it becomes the capes. You will see a perfectly som- most luxurious of house robes. There can be another jacket made of chiffon in a contrasting color, and it be trimmed with rosebuds. There can be still another made of silk and this trimmed with edgings of marabou, and another of that all- over printed chiffon in colors to har- monize with the slip that makes the foundation. The little lace cap worn with this particular negligee is fashioned from a bit of the same lace that is used for the cape. It does the same thing for one’s face that a hat does—it adds a touch of becomingness to frame the countenance. Linings of Contrasting Color. One of the smartest notes of this can bre, sober-looking garment coming along the street and a sudden gust of wind betrays the vividness of the un- derlying area. There are reds, and greens, and Plaids, and stripes galore. There are violets and yellows, and all these colors are put in rather startlingly; that 1s; you see green where you might least expect to see it, and in spite of yourself you are charmed with the effect of the surprise. We are getting more courageous about color every minute. And we like ourselves when we once decide to wear it fearlessly. Cashmere a Popular Fabric. More of the influence of our grand- mothers presents itself in the way of cashmere dresses and wraps of all sorts. It is a soft, woollen fabric which found favor in their eyes be- cause {t was so practical and so softly becoming. And now we are having to acknowledge that they ‘certainly knew what they were about, for some of the most delightful of the season's creations are done in this material. Pci teraiay Uartarontal Ribbon Bow on Street Hat. Wherever new spring hats are gath- ered, you see ribbon bows cheerfully Dosing themselves atop the hat in some way. Look at the hats at the theatre as the girls come in to take their seats. Look at them on the subway, on the street, as the women wander about the shops. Ribbon, un- doubtedly, 1s the trimming above all others which the younger generation prefers.

Taffeta Dresses for Spring. There! is just one reaction trom the straight, slim drese and that is toward the dress of taffeta and that puffs out over the hips. For street wear these frocks will be worn for spring in dark blue and black and in all shades of brown. They are trimmed usually with organdie which adds freshness and carries oyt the character of the taffeta in most fitting manner. While taffeta dresses are not exact- ly practical for very warm weather, they are immensely so for the spring days that lead up to the hot times when only wash materials are satis- factory. The taffeta frocks have many cross- ba a - a A CHARMING NEGLIGEE SHOWING A LACY COAT OVER ITS SILKEN SLIP, fact everything is done to keep them putting forward that standing-out ap- pearance which is so salient a part of charm. White organdie is usually used for their trimming, but on many of them you will find not only colored organdie to harmonize or contrast with their own colorings, but ribbons to carry out the contrast of the matching color. What You Can Make in an Evening By Aca Newcomb Copyright, 1922 (Nev York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. ELTS OF BRAIDED RIBBONS B are everything which i: beau- tiful and smart. And the varl- ous ways in which these can be done @re quite marvellous to see. You can have a dress rhade along one-piece lines and of the plainest sort of material. Then you can add one of these belts and you have a frock which ts really distinctive, according to the popular viewpoint. One of these belts, for an evening dress, was made of three strands of least three inches in width and they were held in the hand and braided loosely together with ends left to hang from a knot at one side of the belt. » Another belt is braided from _halt- inch ribbons in orange and black. This time the pleating is done very closely and tightly so that the belt when finished is only about an inch and a half in width and has a certain heaviness about its texture which makes it fine for a serge or a cotton ratine or a linen frock.

'N the winter gloves are chosen primarily for warmth; but in the spring warmth 1s a second consid- eration. Gloves then become paramount for their dressiness, their added attrac- tion to the new spring suit or dress. To the tailored girl, gloves are of especial interest, for the tailored sult needs tricky gloves to complete it. And the trick lies not only in the gloves themselves but in the clever way one puts them on, Of course, there are the usual short, three-quarter and full of length kid, cloth and silk gloves offered this Attire ‘Tucks in groups of two or three all the way to the eibow are the Short, white cuffs stitched with black and black silk buttons up the sides.

If these gloves are put on with careless grace, their owner may be able to lose the primness a simple glove often gives the hands. With the short gloves, one may be left un- buttoned. This gives an air of jaunti- ness, With the longer gloves, the glove may be folded gracefully over the cuff of the suit and pinched into becoming lines. in the corner and you have a nice gift ready.
