V* diamond bracelets on her right arm. In accordance with the mode she wears them in a cluster. A single bracelet, as you know, is as passe as the Eugenie hat. To me, that modeled V neckline would be utterly spoiled had she worn a necklace. I've seen so many necklaces destroy the beauty of a lovely gown ; they add a superfluous note or they are of a design at odds with that of the decolletage. It takes more courage and discrimination to tone down a dress, to allozv it to stand out by itself, than it does to decorate it! Carole has another gown of the same satin which Banton has just completed for her. (He makes many things for her personal use as well as those you see her wear in pictures.) This gown is of a luscious pale corn-yellow. It swoops up the front in the spring mood of frocks everywhere — quite high up the front. The back it leaves without a stitch unless you count the narrow suspenders that cross at the waist. A yellow velvet waist-length jacket goes with it. The sleeves are the kind that swell above the elbow and end in long, slim forearms (a type of sleeve that's very much the vogue right at present). This pale yellow, by the way, is wonderfully becoming to Carole as it is to most girls with pale gold hair and grayblue eyes. But if you wish to cause a dazzling white glow, choose a gown like that crepe roma of Carole's, shown on page 62. It's truly clever. The bodice does a rather disconcerting thing by having those shoulder straps go demurely down the back and fashion the belt. It's tied directly in front, handkerchief style. The circles of brilliants are something new and they're employed in a novel manner. No jewels of any kind here. They'd be a bit too much with the sparkle of all those brilliants. Her slippers are white crepe. T SUPPOSE," Carole said, "one needs most of all the ability to face facts in dressing. You can't wave away certain limitations of types. For example, can you fancy me in ruffles and tiers of flounces and bits of lace? I can go in for extreme lines, though. As a matter of fact, I like them. Those with snap and dash. My hats are always extreme. There's one I wear with a mottled gray tweed suit that goes on at an absurd tilt. It's a turban made of the same material and banded with the caracul fur of the suit and it has a gray silk bow in front to match the shirtwaist. The suit? It's the kind you jump into for all occasions — lunching, shopping, matinees. The small shoulder cape is bordered in the fur. So is the bottom of the jacket and the sleeves have flaring cuffs of it. The front is button-trimmed." (There's a picture of it on page 64.) We fell to discussing suits, the sudden importance of them. Carole owns a black and white tweed that's very comfortable for the foggy days which are a part of every California spring. The tweed is of that new, loosely woven variety and it's trimmed with lynx. Lynx in generous quantities on the col lar, sleeves, and around the lower part of the jacket. There's a wide belt of black suede and the blouse that accompanies it is white crepe with a soft neckline. Her pumps are black kid. The hat she wears with it is gray with a rolled brim of black and a black feather points heavenward up the back. Carole hasn't a '"faddish" article in her entire wardrobe. Some of these new suits might be classed as such. Those with tight-fitting mess jackets are for the moment only. They're cute, I grant you, but they belong to the very young, the very slim and long-legged. If you're a co-ed and you want something new to finish the last term, one of these bellhop flannel coats that have trig metal buttons, saddle shoulders and cap sleeves is excellent to go with a wool crepe skirt. If you're a business girl I advise against it. It would be far more profitable to purchase a suit' that can serve many purposes merely by changing the accessories and blouses. Smart women all over are doing that very thing. /^■AROLE'S three-piece green suit (shown on page 65) lends itself admirably to this scheme. First of all, that top coat is the kind that may be worn with "dressy" frocks. Charming green silk prints with shirred organdie yokes, lustrous new crepes in beige, parchment suede laces in yellow to blend with the leopard skin fur. The coat has a pleasing fullness, yet it's semi-fitting. Those sleeves in one with the yoke of leopard skin are fashion's last word. The suit that completes the ensemble is as swagger as any you'll find this season. The skirt straight and trim, the jacket hip length and double breasted. The buttons that march down it are very large and it has a narrow belt of the leopard skin. And wouldn't you know it would be topped with a rakish little hat having a slightly rolled brim on either side ? The green kid slippers have a tan trim to match the heavy chamois gloves. It's too bad heavy coats of tan will be taboo this summer. A nice even tan all over your back would be very easy to acquire in these latest bathing suits. Most of them are of such brilliant hues that you feel as if you'd walked right off a signboard. And one and all they reveal the spinal column in no uncertain way. The smartest are those that come in one piece and are made of wide-ribbed, heavy silk. Carole has this kind. (See page 65.) It combines corsair blue and white and there's an intriguing small bow at the end of the low decolletage in back. Her beach sandals are of washable crepe. All beach wear has taken a new lease on life and it's determined to lend more color to the sad sea waves than ever before. With a red and white striped wool shirt you use blue flannel slacks. Then the bright bloomer suits with ribbed knees, cross-over straps and square neck, dot the landscape. The bandana handkerchief has come to the front, too — you tie it around your neck and wear it for a waist. Carole chooses an all-white jacket for the beach. A startling jacket that gives her a "pow 108
