First editions of , M spring modes reveal taffeta as a prom- H lnent character in the style story. And H there is ground for assuming that lat- ' H cr editions may disclose this fabric as ;' the character around which tailleur H modes revolve. ' H ' Tho crlspness of this material lends M Itself to achievement of tho approved ' H silhouette for spring. Dressy tall- ' leurs, those frocks intended for after- i M noon wear, must follow a" line of con- j duct that prescribes flaring skirts and M flaring coats. Taffeta gathered or cir- N cular-cut, gives a skirt as bouffant an MJ effect as any ono might wish. A3 for l coats taffeta can bo relied upon to M put the desired measures of "pep" In H any pcplum. I H Narrow tucks and stitching are two i H forms of embellishment favored in the fashioning of the spring tailleur of H taffeta. Some very attractive models H have skirts with lower edges finished, H hem-deep, with tiny tucks placed In , M almost overlapping position. Stitching H is employed to accentuate lines of , H modeling, but in this, fashion pre- H scribes that only self color thread H shall bo used. A "Russian Tnnic Blouse. H Among the new blouses Is a most al- H luring model called "The tunic" OC H course it is Russian in type and Its im- H l)ortant feature is an extension below ' H the waist line, which gives the leng, , H Russian tunic effect This extension ' is cither gathered or circular and falls H from a trim belt to midway between, . H hip and knee. Worn over a separata ; H skirt of harmonizing material tho now ' H Russian blouse gives the effect of a : H complete costume. The Idea is a prac- H tical one, for any woman can furnish H the simple, well-cut skirt and pur- H chase one of these smart blouses to complete a really stunning new frock.
