72 The flared coat at the left, uniquely trimmed with different-colored furs, is worn by Greta Garbo in Ibdnez's "Torrent;" the bolero suit in the center — a persistently popular style— belongs to Mae Busch; and the sport dress at the right, of heavy rosecolored crape, may be seen on Clara Bow in "Dancing Mothers." ylT last, spring is really flaunting her banners ! /~\ Lucky folks who live in the country know this by the thousand and one tokens which nature spreads so lavishly before their eyes. We city dwellers know it by other signs. We of New \«ork can tell when spring has come by the simple expedient of walking down Fifth Avenue at, say, three o'clock on any afternoon ; for, even though the north wind doth still blow a little, the irrepressible spring bonnet is here, the jaunty spring suit is here — worn, perhaps, under a coat, to be sure — and the gayly colored sport costume has claimed her own.

Skirts, which by the way are shorter than ever, seem to have almost forsaken the straight and narrow path and, in almost every case, obtain fullness in some way or other, either by pleats, godets, gathered apron fronts or, in many cases, by full, sashlike draperies. In the group just to the left is a particularly smart, flared coat which should be an ideal one for a slender figure. It is worn by Greta Garbo, and is one of the striking Max R e e costumes A simple sport frock, easy to copy and adaptable to almost any material, is the one at the right, worn by Clara Bow in " Dancing Mothers:' At the left is a coat-dress , of lightweight navy wool, which has one of those stylish capes so much in evidence this year. This is one of Greta Gar bo's costumes in Ibdnez's "Torrent."
