It is the sophisticated simplicity of the Youthful Mode that is the outstanding feature of all that is ultra-smart this season. Paris has decreed it—and fashion leaders have so ably expressed it in every conceivable type of attire. It seems a veritable determination to make the world look young—or at least all the women in it—and what woman can’t to catch the charm of youth when costumed in “Pillar-like” alenderness; skirts just long enough to reveal slim ankles; small, snug-fitting clocks striking the topnote of smartness. It may be the Chinese influence with its clever Mandarin jack effect and vivid, exotic embroidery is responsible for the dazzling boyishness of the model.

THE PLAIN DEALER SPRING FASHION SUPPLEMENT - is here! is here! small, snug-fitting cloche the topnote of smartness. be the Chinese influence clever Mandarin jacket and vivid, exotic embroidery responsible for the deboyishness of the mode. The Trend of Fashion hoped, seemingly, for the season, is the waistline sizing are the substitutes have been provided. Paris endorses the long, slim, pencil-like silhouette, beltless, with fullness below the knee. Slimness is the objective of every frock and tailleur. Reed-like in effect are the evening gowns for all but the very youthful for whom La Mode sponsors alluring, bouffant frocks with snug, basque-like bodice. These delightful bouffant creations are highly favored for dance and dinner wear, but for the very formal occasion it is the straight-line silhouette that is the ultimate choice—always, however, relieved of its severity in a number of ways. Introducing the Variations Plaits, as fine as they can be made, add to the attractiveness of afternoon frocks and are rivalled only by the flounce which seeks to retain its modish flare. Godets are uniquely far long, Russian tunic-effort achieved in moire. Frilling flounces of the spirae add distinction to the cachet. Channel has developed interesting afternoon frock chiffon, plaited in all-over so fine as to be hardly guishable. The plaited drops from an off-the-man who sews, the new Spring any delightful surprises. There is such assortment of materials; colors are so nice; designs so novel and interesting; a simple matter to convert them into a rock or blouse. We have just received and offer a few special items for to- NEW SW NORMANDY VOILE at 59c Yard 40-inch, the popular flock dot figured volle, white dotted figure on colored ground of lavender, rose, blues, brown, navy and black.

NEW SW Whether for sportive sweaters Spring and Summers come in novelty st coats, slipover and new colors and da $12.95. An alluring display with tiny, roll brim Spring. The tricorn styles. Favored fabrics Visca Straw, B Sebast yoke and forms tiny cap sleeves. Moire, satin and printed silks are the favored fabrics for afternoon wear. These are developed in interesting ways—always in straight lines; always with careful attention to detail. Perhaps it is the tiny Mandarin collar or the rows of vivid buttons, but the effect of the Chinese tendency is maintained. For the Formal Occasion The important role that beads are to play in the evening mode this season is becoming obvious as one creation after another arrives from Paris displaying unique beautiful designs of brilliant beads that contrast with backgrounds of soft color or harmonize with the fabric. Chiffons and georgettes are the vogue with the new square neckline a delightful feature. White, black, yellow and Chinese blue are much in evidence although you may choose any of the pastel shades and be quite within the mode. Colors this year are as variable as the models. One sees Pan Green—that delightful, refreshing green so suggestive of Spring—much in the soft silks that are for southern wear. Brown has become a standard shade quite as much as blue or black. Chinese reds and blues in many shadings are the choice of many important Parisian designers for both afternoon and street costumes. Coat, Prock and Tailleur Once again the coat frock, a time-honored favorite of the busy woman occupies the foreground. It is smartly developed in a variety of novelty fabrics, including cross-striped kasha cloth, suede cloth, Poiret Twill, wool crepella, charmeen and Rodler fabrics. Characterized by the beltless line, long sleeves and neck treatment it combines utility with smartness. The redingote top; Russian tunic! neck-to-hem streamers and scarf effects are among its fascinating details. Sharing honors with the coat frock is the plaid, stripes or checks. With the return of the suit into Milady's favor one realizes the necessity of including at least a few smart blouses in the Spring wardrobe. The salient note in the tailored blouse is its stiff bosom front which is variously interpreted. Occasionally this stiff bosom is effected by a turked area on a plain, untucked blouse; or vice versa, a plain vest front appears in contrast to a trucked blouse. Little glass buttons in contrasting or self-colors frequently accentuate the mannish appearance. Many have monogrammed tabs in Chinese effect. The importance that is being accorded the separate blouse and skirt is another style innovation of the Spring. The suspender blouse, developed in black suede cloth or satin, cut square in the neck-line and worn with white crepe de chine tailored waist is perhaps the favored mode for wear with the sports skirt. The straight Mandarin jacket made of any of the novelty summer prints is also popular for sports wear with the plaid or striped skirt. The Clever Caplet When one considers the question of the new Spring top-coat or wrap it is seemingly difficult to overlook the very important caplet that is ever and anon liable to make its appearance in a novel disguise. This season it peeps forth on trim afternoon frocks of heavy crepe, on the trig tailleur and three-piece costume and now we find it in delightful variation on the new Spring coat. It is sponsored in a Paquin model developed in beige ribbed cloth with trimmings of navy bengaline ribbon. Fur Collared "Top Coats" One may almost call them 'top coats' without qualms so decidedly masculine is their trend. The truly feminine touch is achieved in the soft, luxurious small fur collars that are so odets are uniquely fashioned; long, Russian tunic-effects are achieved in moire. Frilly, clinging flounces of the spiral variety add distinction to the youthful jacket. Channel has developed some interesting afternoon frocks in hiffon, plaited in all-over effect, so fine as to be hardly distinguishable. The plaited section drops from an off-the-shoulder time-honored favorite of the busy woman occupies the foreground. It is smartly developed in a variety of novelty fabrics, including cross-striped kasha cloth, suede cloth, Poiret Twill, wool crepella, charmeen and Rodier fabrics. Characterized by the beltless line, long sleeves and neck treatment it combines utility with smartness. The redingote top; Russian tunic! neck-to-hem streamers and scarf effects are among its fascinating details. Sharing honors with the coat frock is the newer boyish semi-sports frock designed for sports and general all-around service. There is a chic simplicity about these frocks that assures their popularity. For the woman who enjoys a trig taillleur there is a wide range of choice this season. Fashioned of worsteds, home-spuns, Rodier fabrics, wool rep or silk alpaca, these smart costumes are enlivened by attractive talleur and three-piece costume and now we find it in delightful variation on the new Spring coat. It is sponsored in a Paquin model developed in beige ribbed cloth with trimmings of navy bengaline ribbon. Fur Collared "Top Coats" One may almost call them 'top coats' without qualms so decidedly masculine is their trend. The truly feminine touch is achieved in the soft, luxurious small fur collars that are so much favored. The silhouette in general is the straight line with occasional introductions of the circular apron front. Cape sleeves are much used. Fifty inches is the favored length for the twill coats for general wear. These coats are effectively trimmed with braid. Artichoke green, red and brick-frust shades as well as stripes and pialds are to be the vogue.
