- Despite the more cheerful economic situation generally, can- ldian men spent over $2,000 more on handkerchief; in 1934 than dur- ing the previous year. 0n the other hand, they laid out $338,539 ad- ditional in neckwear, $21,275 addi- tional in garters and $7,000 addi- tion in spate- The figures are from a government report of the men's furnishing goods industry and they represent selling values at factory.

Describing its offerings as "first floor flops, second floor sorrows, third and fourth floor failures" a department store has been hold- ing a. “White Elephant” sale. ‘rmth-ln-advertising included the ilems—“Ohina bon bon dishes that are pretty terrible. Were ti. If you can stand them, they are yours now for 25 cents." “Handkerchiefs

. . dingy with age" and “Rayon pajamas which are OK except for the color, a sickly sort of green." “The buyer thought thse were pretty spiffy last year, but no one else seemed to."

Instead of eschewing technical terms in its advertising copy des- cribing various products, a large mail order house prefers to print a glo sary of such words, giving each 7; precise meaning for the buys-it's. guidance. A page of such definitions explains what is meant by such terms as combed yarh, gauge, thread count, vat dye, virgin wool, pure dye and rust- prooi. ‘

Men's “:kiris" ane to worn shorter this spring. Also, a spot or two of colon: will be noticeable in their drab attire. Merchant Tailors Society has decre:d short topccats and coloured linen WiUSfiCOhi-S. Pale blue Waistcoats will go with dark oxford or navy blue suits, while tan linen models will be worn with brown or dark green spring and sumrne suits. The shorter topcoat doel not meet with the approval of the cloth manuiactuers.

Circular Skirts‘

A special feature are long black skirts cut tn circular manner. Around the bottom of the hem may be seen light red, green or blue bands of the lining. The came color is repeated on peasant spencers of printed silk or chintz with big, bal- loon-like sleeves, small tail effect, lquare neck and silver buttons.

Fancy outfis consisting of nar- row Russian styled blouses of nat- ural colored coarse linen are at- tracting attention. These models are divided in front and - reach down to the knees. The yokes end in large wing-like sleeves. Rather broad cotton trimmings in green cr red accentuate the front edsiflfis as well as the yoke, and are contin- ued over the wing sleeves. The skirts from the knee downward, show vertical pleat effects and the hem is trimmed in red and green.

NEW YORK-Plactical, neat- as-a-pln daytimm clothes or working hours and "aphanous, frivolous ones for recreation and leisure are the backbone of the business girl’ spring wardrobe. She wants to sit behind counter or desk in trimly tailored suits and dresses that make her look ex- tremely efficient and mentally alert. She wants to go to dinner, Sunday teas and parties appearing as charmingly feminine as her non- working sisiers who have all day to primp.

First and foremsot, ghe chooses a suit-preferably a 3-piece one with skirt and jacket for the ofllce and topcoat that n be worn over separate dresses. is year, she's likely to pick one of sleek wool flannel or men's wear worsted or a tweed so subtly flecked that no one color predominates to clash with miy frock. In this S-piece suit ca/iegqv, shq can choose between swagger and double-breasted reef- er models.

To go with the suit, making it a veritable wardrobe in ikelf, she gets bright sweaters for country week-ends and several blouses for work. These are the personification of gayety, of course. The brighter the sweater or blouse, the more in- teresting the fairly dark suit.

Keeping the suit in mind, she picks a printed dress, wearing it only after five for a few weeks, then to the ofllce. If her suit is brownish (maybe that nice new spice-brown shade) the print is likely to have a good deal of green in it. Anyway, it is sure to have a Dert white bow or white collar and cuffs that can be laundered easily

For Business Girl

and which always look spick and span.

Accessories to wear in the Easter parade and with dress and suit all spring naturally will follow the general color scheme determined by the suit. If she started out with navy blue. she_probably will carry on with white or yellow, either chamois or tulip, depending on how intense she likes yellow accessories to be. Shell buy these with an eye toward the practical side of life, of course, indulging her glddier 1n. cllnations during the lunch hour devoted to inspecting evening dress departments.

Evening Gown: More Demure

When she has picked an evening gown and appropriate acoeuories, her shopping orgy, for the time be- ing at least, is over. Later on, she'll want a dark-colored sheer for informal. evenings, but, right now, she adds fresh lingeries touch- es to the old semi-cz-mal dream

print.

The evening gown, of course, will be as frothy as the suit is sensible. It ought to be packable (business women generally are out-of-izown week-end addicts) and, though es- sentially glamorous, in a color of. which she and her friends won't‘ tire too quickly. l

Evening decolletes are more de- mure this season. Boleros and flowing draperies in sheer fabric to match the gowns cover back and shoulders. Fullness at the back is one important silhouette. The pleat- ed theme, full from waist to hem- line, is another.

Festive

Pure White China Gives

Probably Just to be different. china. and glass are going formal on us suddenly. After several years of getting more and more frolic- some, colorful and peasantish, even for state occasions, table accessor- ies are veringthe other way.

The result is that you see more white glass than for a long time, less pottery in every hue of the ralnbiw and a great deal of white and plain china.

Color still comes into the picture for informal home meals and buffet tables, but even there it is used a little less rampantly than it was for awhile. For relief from the formal white, many hostesses are going in for delicate floral patterns, pale blue or pink on white, in the fashion of years ago.

Perhaps one of the influences toward white glass is the fad just now-—and a very sound fad it is- for combining genuine early Amer- ican glass with early American reproductions. The early American pieces lack the sophistication of modern glass but have a quaint sturdy chann of their own. Good. though slightly modified copies of frosted patterns, are seen about, and milk-glass reproductions too.

“rhere was not much native glass in Americabefore 1800 becauseun- til then an ordinary glass pot re- quired two years to make. It was only in i827 that glass blowers be-

Foxes In Capes

Spring capes in silver, blue, red or dyed-white icx:s are presenting a solidity of design. Gone are the “open spaces" of last season's gar- lands, swirls and cut-out manipula- tion. Capes of fox go on, but fash- ion decrws a change of style. Ver- tical panels or curving tiers are manipulated with concealed narrow strips of velour, which accentuate the grace of cape fashions. This news is especially mrtinent to capes developed from a single fox skin, in which design ingenuity has in- creased notably. It is a pleasantly- surprlsing to see the variety of waist-length capes, manipulated to mass the fur in clever shoulder and neckline details, which, you will b." told, actually take only a single silver or blue fox for their construc-
