THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Volia! They enter! The Spring Fashions—a galaxy in festive attire—bringing with them a breath of the delight of changing seasons. And truly never before have the newer modes seemed so expressly ordained to convey verna and verve of American women. It is the sophisticated simplicity of the youthful Mode that is ultra-smart this season.
Paris has decreed it—and fashion leaders have so ably expressed it in every conceivable type of attire. It seems a veritable determination to make the world look young-or at least all the women in it—and what woman can fail to catch the charm of youth when costumed in "Pillar-like" slenderness; just long enough for limo ankles to still snug-fitting cloche the top-note of smartness. It may be the Chinese influence with its clever Mandarin jacks effect and vivid, exotic embroidery is responsible for the delightful boyfriend of the mode.
The Trend of Fashion
Banished, seemingly, for the entire palette and pleasing are the substitutes that have been provided. Paris endorses the long, slim, penille-tail silhouette, but the silhouette is plain. Silmness is the objective of every frock and tailleur. Reed-like in effect are the even heating of the garment for when La Moine spoonsers with avant-garde frocks with angus basique-like bodice. These delightful bouffant creations are highly fashionable and easy to wear but for the very formal occasion it is the straight-line silhouette that is the ultimate choice—always however, relieved of its severity it
Introducing the Variations
Plants, as fine as they can be, become a source of afternoon frocks and are rivaled only by the flouce which seeks to retain the mollusk frontal margin. The long Russian tumec-effects are achieved in moiré. Prilly clinging flumes of the plant form a distinction to the wouthful cachet.
For The Formal Occasion
Channel has developed some interesting afternoon frocks in chiffon plaited in a hurried way and in an extra distinguisheuide. The plaited section drops from an off-the-shoulder yoke and forms tiny taupe skirts that are the favored fabrics for afternoon wear. 'These are developed in interesting ways—always with care and careful attention to detail. Perhaps it is the tiny Mandarin collar or the coat of violet buttons, the effect the Chic enigma is maintained.
For The Format occlusion
The important beads are heads and bodies, and the evening mode this season is becoming obvious as one creation after another arrives from Paris displaying unique designs designed to that connec- tion with backgrounds of soft color or harmonize with the fabric. Chiffons and geometries are the vogue
with the new square neckline, a delightful feature. White, black, yellow and Chinese blue are much in evidence although you may choose any of the pastel shades and be quite within the mode.
colors this year are as variable as the modes. One sees Pan Green—that delightful refreshing green so suggestive of Spring—much more southern than are for northern southern wear. Brown has become a standard shade quite as much as blue or black. Chinese reds and blues in many shades are the choice for a warm, hearty Pavilion signers or both after affair and street costumes.
Coat, Frock and Tailleur
Once again the coat frock, a time honored favour of waxy cowboys, is the foreground. It is smartly developed in a variety of novelty fabrics, including cross-striped shirts and Twill, wool crepe fabric Charmen and Rodier fabrics, Characterized by the beltless line, long sleeves and neck treatment it employs. The redingote top; Russian tunic; are among its fascinating details. Sharing honors with the coat frock, this fabric's frock designed for sports and general all-round service. There is a
chic simplicity about these frocks that assures their popularity.
For the woman who enjoys a trig laille there is a wide range of fabrics for wristbands, homepuns, Rodi fabric wool, repel or silk alpae, these smart contours are enlisted by women. With the return of the suit into Milady's favor, one realizes the necessity of including at least a few smart contours in the outfit. The salient note in the tailored blouse is its stiff boast front which is variously interpreted.
Occasional touch on the bottom is a tucked area on a plain

The importance that is being accorded the separate blouse and skirt is another style. Important to note is the use of the underskirt, developed in black suede elf or satin, cut square in the neckline and worn with white sweep trousers. The skirt has favored mode or wear with the sports skirt. The straight Man-
coirin jacket made of any of the novelty summer prints is also popular for sports wear with the plaid or striped skirt.
The Clever Capulet
When one considers the question of the new Spring top coat or wrap it is seemingly difficult to overlook the very important causal reason behind this need to make its appearance in a novel disguise. This season it peeps forth on trim afternoon frocks of heavy crope, on the same base as our costume, and now we find it in delightful variation on the new Spring coat. It is sponsored in a Paquita mongolian with trimming of navy bengal ribbon.
Fur Collared "Top Coats"
One may almost call them "top coat"
because they are a neckline and neckline is their trend. The truly feminine touch is achievable in the soft luxurious small fur coat. There are no other coat lines. The silhouette in general is the straight line with occasional introductions of the circular apron front. Cape
Newer Fabrics in Variety

on a wide range of selection in fabrics. So many of the newer materials are offered already embroidered or so richly designed that there is small need for trimming of any kind.
The first impression of the new entries is of their exquisite beauty, both of weave and design. On notes the influence of Chinese, Roman and Greek designs in colors and designs. One of the most interesting new silk weaves for summer is called "Grepafatas," which is simply a slighly colorful and large little dot a design of Greek keys, and other patterns.
Imported ratten appear in large block designs beneath which one notes small round designs, Vollens, lions, crepes, and silks are all richly embroidered. Several silks are completely covered with Chinese characters and figures. Spring character is a most colorful one, and is certain to bring renewed glint and energy and greater cheer every woman.
