FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING

... or anywhere on your spring clothes that you choose to put them. They’re a splendid tonic for yourself and your frock, too. Bunch them up in front of your hat. Or wreathe them round the top edge of the crown, especially if the flowers are carnations and the crown belongs to a brimless toque. Spring violets look very fetching circling round the edge of a brim above a little veil that reaches your eyelashes.

You can cover a whole tiny cap with flowers, or just wear a few in a bunch among the curls on the nape of your neck —sewn to the bandeau of your hat.

Use pique flowers, two on each short sleeve and two at the neck; or flowers cut from flowered prints and appliqued down the side seams or round the hem, to match the flower-printed silk blouse or lapels and sash. And for evenings use big flattened flowers to cover the top of a bodice, tiny net gloves with a flower on the wrist for romance, and, of course, flowers in your hair wherever they suit you. Try a shower bouuet fastened at the Waist with flowers trailing to the hem, or a hem scattered with tiny artificial flowers as though you had been trailing through a field of violets and some of them had strayed.
