emulate the male |

Gone are the days when a rareer woman's fashions strive

© emulate the male. This Spring's designs are feminine and appealing in spite of the

tact that they are geared to ac- tive lives.

Spring silhouettes are soft and Sud. There is no rigid tailoring and obvious seaming. Textures are smoother and flatter... fab- rics are refined and understated.

Tender, delicate tones form the backdrop in the Spring gar- jen of fashion. with tearoses, gentle greens, marigolds, sweet seas, delphiniums and the var- ted shades of pebbles and earth

Take it easy at home Give parties. Go to parties. On the spring agenda, spring fashions in loungewear fill many needs, provide many choices From jumpsuits to cafe coats, every- thing is bright, new and re- freshing

“Viva la Espana!" shout many at-home jumpsuits this season. With the Spanish influence pre- dominant, a melange of color- ful prints combined = with soft, flowing looks in pants give gaiety and femininity to the jumpsuit Plunging necklinés, ruffles and garlands of feathers

add gentle grace

Pants sweep in for at-gome hours, im a variety of st¥'es. Figure-skimminz, starting, :rom the natural waistline or taking off from the hipline, they low slim lines, sometimes ending in bell-bottom or pleated flare, sometimes completely clinging all the way to the ankles

Spring enters im a wave of ruffles in al) its loungers from the short, short to the very long — eollar ruffles, hemline -uf- fles, sleeve ruffles, hipline ruf- fles and ruffles cascaded all over. The “‘ladv of hte house” look is a mood of beauty, with soft prints and dots in long pencil shifts and empire-waist full tloungecoats — ruffles, bows, general femininity are musts.

The youngest loungers, in above-the-knee lengths, have a little girl look of fun and en- joyment. ‘ ‘Let's have fun" plaids, prints, strives and dots, add to the young spring look in playful little styles. |
