J; TO) SPRING is a charming season in any year—more than ever so in this year, when the* mode has so many intriguing variations. In the street dashing little suits in the military manner are much in favour, with their short jackets nipped in at the waist and many buttons; but in the afternoon and evening. there is an effect of softness achieved by many little bows, soft lapels, shirring, little capes and scarves, which form a contrast to r:he neatly-swathed waist. Pastel colours are very new in both wool and silk for day wear , formal or informal, while Blue leads in any shade, with Red and Rose-Red close behind. The new silks are dull and heavy for both day and evening frocks. This year Spring may easily be " a dream of fair women."

White is the favourite for Spring bags and glove% Above are two Bags, in the new pouchette style, in White Washable Morocco, with chromium frames (25/- and 32/6 each). To the left, White Gauntlet Gloves, with the smart semi-stiff cuff effect, make their appeal (13/11). Contrast accessories to the new Spring Blue can be found in the White-spotted Bag, in Navy x Black, Red, Green, and Fawn (22/6), and in the attractive gauntleted real Kid Gloves, in Navy, Beige, and Parchment, with contrasted applique (19/6). Belts are most important. Two very new and inexpensive examples are to be seen above, one in punched Leatherette, in Red, Lido Blue, Green, Brown, and Black (1/6), and the other in embossed Suedine, with a smart enamel and chromium buckle, in Brown, Lido Blue, Red, Orange, and Grey (1/11).
