In fact, all along the highways high-ways and byways which lead through the realm of smart patternings one encounters plaids In some form or another. The versatility displayed in the new plaids adds zest to their vogue. It Is possible to secure as modest or as flamboyant a plaid as one may wish In the new materials. The same may be said of the equally-as-smart stripes. In fact the problem Is, whether to choose plaids or stripes, and the surest day of being right is to Indulge In both, for these gay patternings are made use of not only for the dress or blouse entire but In the way of accessories ac-cessories such as scarfs, girdles and other trimming touches they are enlivening en-livening many a spring costume. In addition to plaids and stripes there is a third candidate for favor paisley print There's nothing smarter and so unmistakably new as a blouse or frock of paisley print All to which goes to prove that a decided innovation innova-tion has taken place so far as the new patternings are concerned, in that the gay stripes, plaids and paisleys are a distinct departure from the usual florals which for so long a time have held the center of the stage. The plaid silk which fashions the modish afternoon dress In the picture Is choicely conservative at the. same time that It Is decidedly modern In Its technique. The wavy lines which so delicately and gracefully trace a plaid patterning are black against a pale blue background with tiny red dots scattered In pretty confusion throughout through-out the entire design. Black buttons effectively trim this frock and the color scheme Is further stressed In that a black belt black scarf and black gloves are worn with this costume. (G), 1931.
