What Will Be Worn This Spring?

even sometimes revived after several years. The costumes worn when the picture was taken cannot be changed or modified according to the prevailing fashion, but are permanent fixtures. Hence, the less freakish and more enduring these are, the less ridiculous they appear in months to come. This is a. rule which works both ways; for, what is to be good in the future must also be good now. Consequently, the costumes of the players in any of the modern screen productions are an accurate prediction and a safe guide as to what will be worn during the coming season.
The frocks and suits sketched here are, with a single exception, all taken from advance models of the coming spring mode. The exception is the tailored suit and vest which appears at the top of the first page. This costume, which is worn by Hope Hampton, is fashioned of a winter material — black velvet. Its style, however, is so indicative of the approaching season that it might be charmingly copied in satin or cloth, with the vest of plain white linen or pique. Or the vest might be, as in the sketch shown, of rhinestone-studded white satin, with a dainty watch fob hanging from the black velvet pocket.

The coat dress, sketched at the extreme left of the firstpage group exemplifies the cape style at its best. It is of a soft, beige satin, bordered with the popular chipmunk fur, the soft tan-and-brown markings of which harmonize most charmingly with the ground color.
The coat dress which appears on the next figure is worn by Kathleen Key. It is of navy-blue charmine, with gaycolored embroidery and contrasting bands. Dainty, pleated, crepe undersleeves and vest soften the severity, and lend a springlike air to the dress.
The frock in the center of the group is one of the charming gowns worn by Esther Ralston in "Womanhandled." This, with its removable cape, is particularly adaptable to contrasting materials. As can be seen, with its panel and self-colored embroidery, it is a simple, one-piece style, while the cape has a unique crossed-scarf fastening.
A pleated flounce and a long scarf are features of the smart frock sketched at the lower right of the group. This was worn by Renee Adoree in "Exchange of Wives." The background is of white crepe de Chine printed with bright reddots, and the flounce and Continued on pago 100
