The woman coveting “lines”
which are youthful, yet not
too youthful, will find in the
bolero suits, which are so up
in vogue this season, just
what" she Is looking for—a
young-figure gilhouette,
It is indeed a far cry from
the severely tailored man-
nish suit to types such as
the little cloth costume In
the picture the soft feminine
styling of which Is its charm.
The tendency for the silhon-
ette to trend away from
stereotyped form to lines of
gentle grace Is notable this
segson, especially In the suit
realm where the jaunty bo.
lero in all its versatile moods
is Injecting a rofreshing note
of youth,
The promotion of the cape theme is
also exercising a marked Influence
throughaut the moe this season. Add
the two together, the bolero plus a
cunning cape effect, and the result
gures a sum-total of chic for the
spring suit as ultra, according to the
model in the picture, as any college
Zirl might envy. The fact that the
capelet and brief jacket are scalloped,
all the more emphasizes the departure
from the severely tallored.
Very interesting and style-signifi-
cant, too, Is the skirt which achieves
its smart flare vin many sections of
the material which are skillfully
seamed together. Skirts which are
fitted snugly about the hips with the
flare starting about the knees lead
among the new silhouettes,
No less Important than the jacket
sult itself is the blouse which is worn
with it. As every woman knows,
there's magic In a blouse. In the
twinkling of an eye It can change a
suit of tallored aspect into as dressy
looking costume as one may have need
of during the daytime hours and vice
versa. This season, more than ever,
designers are playing up blouses with
vim, vigor and intriguing artistry.
The sleeveless blouse worn with the
suit pictured Is of aquamarine geor-
gette. The assortment of blouses for
spring are bewildering in thelr diver.
sity of color, fabric and styling. Two
types are, however, outstanding-those
of plald or stripes and those of lace.
The necessity of acquiring a whole
wardrobe of blouses this season Is ob.
vious,
As to the lace blouse it may be as
frilly and frivolous as fancy ean ple.
ture, and this type Is adorable with
the youthful bolero suits. Designers
