WHAT SHALL WE WEAR? 



"Compose" is the word for Spring. 

 "Compose" or "ombre" color combinations 

 are new and may be very beautiful 

 Three shades of one color, one, two or 

 more colors skillfully combined in plain 

 materials, prints and plaids. Blue is 

 probably the first word in color — ciel, ma- 

 donna, in the light blue shades and navy 

 blues in pure colors. In fact, .some manu- 

 facturers stress eleven diff"erent shades of 

 blue. Greens and dahlia shades are also 

 exceedingly popular with rose and melon 

 shades emphasized by many. 



The silhouette is a little less tailored 

 and uses more trimming. The straight 

 line is broken in the skirt by plaits, gath- 

 ers, a slight flare, tiers and some drapery. 

 Dolman and peasant sleeves are empha- 

 sized and sleeves with fullness at the 

 wrist. 



The length of the skirt is fourteen to 

 seventeen inches for all who can wear 

 that length or the skirt comes to the full- 

 est part of the calf. Waistlines are some- 

 what higher, but still at the hipline. 



Square neck, V. neck, yokes, Berthas, 

 boleros, and jabot drapery are among the t 

 newer ideas. 



Materials are plain, in prints or plaids. 

 Wool crepes are especially good for early 

 spring, with taff'eta and crepes leading in 

 silks, and a strong emphasis on cotton for 

 summer wear.
