year you're either tailored. casual.

or dressed-up. never partly one Ind partly another. Good fashion is the co-ordination of bat, suit. thee: and accessories. And. it's use the right fit of your clothes. "The costumed look", which we Iear about in fashion shows and Kyle centres is a well-put-together look from head to foot. with tab- ric, color and type of clothes all In perfect harmony. A Charlotte- town lady who is noted for this sort of thing across the Dominion. Mrs. George B , stepped into

- :7 spring wearing a lilac silk suit. an

Adella hat of tiny violets, and her fur neck piece from the Island Furriers.

All the suits shown were cut with a softer than tailored look, nipped in a bit more at the waist. and all with interesting button trim. The Gloria shows a blue grey Poslums suit in a fine tweed. Navy accessories were worn with this. Perennial navy blue still continues to take the lead in suit fashion though. and is brought out by the crispness of white pique, or bright red. Adella shows by her hat collection that the mood of a suit can be changed by a choice of straw. fine felt. or nylon with ac- cessories, of course, all being in tone.

Little folk are born mimics, re- garding what they wear. They like the look of grown-up clothes and Betsy Ives, Mark Macl"lierson, Donna Sutherland. and Karl Dun- can modeled the very best for the very young with a lighthearted confidence. Especially for little ladies a navy blue coat with white trim and for young gentlemen bur- berrys with raglan sleeves. There were trim woollen costs and matching hats and dresses and play toga-all welcomed by moth- ers as each garment by Gay Togs is sired in accurate measure .ts. Takes some of the guesswork out of shopping, some of the weariness. too, when you don't have to bring the children around for fittings!

As the Island has a suit climate. we had suits again. this time in heavier wools for very early spring wear. Mrs. V. L. Dingweil wore a smart three-piece outfit in a sage green. trim and beautifully tailor- ed in English herringbone. In tricotlne and feminine styling.Mrs. Green wore a slim-skirted model

with a flaring coachman's Jacket -

held out from the hips by a stif- fening of buckram.

Colors dominate fashions for ralnwear with Prowsc Bros. belt- ed suede cloth, completely water- proofed, and being mistaken for a Sunday best spring coat. The Teen- age rainy day wardrobe is coordin- ated. with a Poslums sport coat in a brown Glen check and matching cloche worn by Miss Joan Marie McGuire and a warm red topper worn by Miss Norah Denlois Their brown non-splash rubbers, came from gLePage'sr

Three piece costume suits were preferred by some with a brown militeen with beaded trim, and a smart black wool and its accom- panying gold and black three- quarter length cost as favourites.

Most unusual of the jacket nnd skirt ensemble shown was the tar- tan Border check jacket with its shoulder plaid, worn with a black wool skirt by Mrs. Kent Irwin.

Importance of "Little Furs"

1. Outstanding in the Spring Fash- 'ion Show were the furs presented by Island Furriers. As witnessed at this showing. "Little Furs" are tpracticslly a must with all day- time and evening costumes. They range from dainty little two-piece -mink neckpieces to luxurious cape lstoles and jackets. N ' ' in two, four, six and eight skins or Squirrel. Kollnsky. Russian Sable. atone Marten, Mlnk.. etc., were shown with suits and dresses. Cape stoles and jackets command a pro- minent place in Miladv's ward- W be this Spring. Favorite furs in these styles were Scotch Mole- skin. Russian and Canadian squir- frel. Chinese Kldskln. Muskrat, Fox and Mink. Outstanding in these ”Ityles was s Mid-Nita Blue Mole- skin Jacket worn by Mrs. George fauntaln. over a pimento recl tall- eored suit. Another favorlis among .lhsse styles was a full backed soft- 'ly rippled mink jacket worn by . Alfred Mcrleill. Miss Joan ZBulmer..

Joan's bridal gown is of lace and satin. brought to Ck lotteinwn through arrangement with sun- tera. The bodies is of lace and fitted. the collar is Peter Pan and the long lace sleeves come in points over her hands. The sweeping train of her gown spreads out like a circular fan of

is satin. as is her head hugging medieval white coif which holds her full-length veil. .

Bridesmaids dressed exactly alike seem to be the trend this year. and colors are veering away from bright pinks and blues to the sea- son's favorite lilac tones or shades of Tangerine and beige. Brldes' counsellors everywhere make a point of keeping in mind what flowers will be readily available at the wedding date and keying the color scheme to them.

And so for this reason the bridesmaids. Mias Betty Home and Miss Norah DeBlois. wear sheer nylon gowns of ombre shading from deep crimson to cream cham- pagne. tangerine to biscuit tones. Adella designed their tiny huts!

Throughout the show. Joan makes her appearance against the taupe and green backdrop arrang- ed by Mr. Maddigsn of Moore and MacI..eod's. to show the newest ad- dition to her trousseau. Ker music cue is naturally, "Here comes The Bride". played by Mr. Rcyston Mugford on the Sclovox which was brought from Monctcn by the Willis Co. through their represent- ative Mr. Roland G. Newton.

lists and Accessories

Let the men laugh at our hats. But watch their eyes follow a pretty girl who's wearing a fabu- lous one from Adella'sl And you'll note that the hat's color and shape are pure flattery...it's right with the hair-do (or hair-do with hat!) ...and it's in perfect harmony with the rest of her costume. It's that knack of recognizing hat flat- tery along with its costume har- mony which puts the signature of fashion awareness on your ensem- ble. Conslder the hat for your suit. , This spring there's wide choice in pert little numbers called "suit- ers." planned just for suits. Gen- erally speaking suiiers are shown in two shapes. Firstiare the so all- ish head-huggers. cloches, pill- boxes (plain or with pointed crowns). mushroom brims rollers and berets. They're shaped at the back for longer hair or chignons and may be almost bonnet small at the front or extend right to the forehead.

Second. sailors and bowlers worn straight on the level. never at an angle. Whatever a sulter's shape, we're given wide choices in color. Many are of the fine felts ..good for any season...and for right now. gorgeous straws that look like and are spring '51. White. navy, black...dull or shiny... there's nothing like straw hats to give that lilting note to spring suits.

All the models gave a splash of color to their spring costumes by arranging a tie-up between hat and gloves or scarf and gloves or corsage and gloves. This year's colors are sharply vivid in burnt orange. apricot. tangerine. They're delicately soft in pastel shades. and very dressy in oyster white or snow white.

What is happening to fabric gloves makes exciting news. If you haven't already done so. better take a look at their exceptionally smart styling. their wide range of colors. Fabric gloves have the add- ed advantsge of being easy on the pocketbook and practically fool- proof to launder.

Nylons are also making head- lines in the glove industry. Their extreme sheerness makes hands appear very lady-like-and they're just right for silk suits and light dresses.

Mrs. Douglas I-lill wore bright red nylon gloves with a summer dress of navy. and white not for a summer print.

This year. long l6-button gloves have the right fashion look when they're worn with short sleeves or push-up sleeves. They can be crushed casually down the arm

at the wrist.

Watches for evening are news and a diamond Gruen watch mounted with 62 Perfectly match- ed stones and valued at slzocoo is a priceless item. It was loaned for the show by the Gruen Watch Co. in cooperation with local Gruen watch dealers. Wellner's and Tay- lors loaned the jewellery which is shown during the two day Fashion parade.

Pumps for Fashion

The pump, with all its variations in style. is a fashion headliner. The spectator pump for tailored clothes and the shell pump for dress-up. The shell pump has a flattering outline that makes feet -cven good sizable ones, look quite small and feminine This pump comes in a wide variety of patterns . . . narrow straps. button trims, cutouts. deep side dips, off- side ornaments-all happily fool flattering.

Colored shoes are gayer than ever. Black and navy, of course, are favorites for early spring. but red is popular especially in smooth calfskin. It makes a vivid accent with black and white, with navy and white and with all grey.

A clever interlude by blonde twins Nadine and Irene McMahon, demonstrated that proper care and dry cleaning by Sterns Laundry are needed for every wardrobe. Both models were dressed in en- sembles from Charlottetown storcs.
