3'3 WYORK, April 16.—The gown
of this sensor: is not poorly so im-
portsnt as the wrsp.
In fact. you can make any simple
sort of a frock do it you add s. smart
enough Jscquette or cope so that all
the attention may be focused on thst.
Just what those who have always
resented summer furs so bitterly will
have to exclaim about the summer
fur costs is s. miter of conjecture,
but we, imagine it will be plenty.
At any rote. the short jacquette of
csracul. ermine or other lightweight
furs is going to be worn right
through the spring and summer. and
will probably be a decidedly useful
garment. despite the croakers.
At Palm Beach and the French rc-
sorts the short jscquette of printed
linen. silk or cretonne is very popu-
lar. These hove large floral designs
in unnatunlly gorgeous colors. or
overgrown birds. distorted shrubs or
indisn or Chinese figures—to any
nothing of Egyptiul.
8mm sport Jscquettes are made of
loosely woven neecy white wool ms-
terisl. embroidered in colored silks
and bends. They‘m usually lined
with brillisnt rod or green satin and
have woolly caps to much.
The hequotte of suede or heavier
leather is extremely popular. partic-
ularly when bated lather closely
around the waist. These are usually
in brilliant colors. green. royal blue
or bright red. Sometimes they are
sleeveless and worn with white tsil-

Year!
orcd blouses.
Full-length cont. are very Mo-
rale. usually covered with embroid-
ery or braiding or outlined with mon-
key fur or plantings of ribbon.
Capes are. much more intricate
than they were last season. Most of
them are embroidered and some are
of georgette crepe unlined and hav-
ily beaded.
Ifilr is used extensively this season
on wraps. not only for collars. but
for banding; Fox fur naturally leads
for collars. but for banding: nothing
is better liked than plain bunny fur.
Few movlc actressr‘s are chosen
for their faces. Usually. it is merely
a matter of form. '
