MARCH MARCHES IN. Not with lion, with perhaps a little Persian lamb, but emphatically with deep fox pelts, silky and long. If you're cruising this month, or getting an carly spring outfit for Easter, you'll want to give serious consideration to the fox trimmed tweed suits in new light shades, Whether you're north or south of the Mason and Dixon line, these will bring you glamorous and sleek through the first warm days to the last lingerings of Indian Summer. I. J. Fox has blended these subtle and flattering furs to complement the new shades in spring tweed suits. Delicate rose quartz fox is blended with a wild cherry wool, lemon fox with a yellow wool, cross fox on a toast brown. The skirts have straight lines, the coats are three-quarter lengths, and the total ef. fect is luscious. By nation-wide female referendum, which still means more than a merely political landslide, the tailored suit is today voted the best all around friend to the American woman in the home, in the office, afloat or aflight. And the most fun about suits is the blouses and sweat- ers that freshen and alter them to the styles of the season and year. For your solid colored suits Peck & Peck recom. mends blouses in paisleys or vivid strip- ings of imported silk. Mixed or pin. striped suits take Peck & Peck’s classic Post and Rail with its stitched haber. dashery collar, or their angel silk tucked- bosom blouses, all in pastel shades. The line begins at $7.50 and emphasizes unusual notes in tight round collars, stitched down tucks, new patterned fab. tics. Peck & Peck’s branch shops at Vas- sar, Wellesley and Smith have long held first place in college girls’ hearts for their imported cashmere pull-overs and cardigans. These immortal sweaters are the strongest for sports and the softest to the skin, come in more glowing colors than the Aurora Borealis. Taking a Tip from its conservative neighbors across the channel, Paris this year is avoid- ing new styles as definitely as the English have ta- booed new morals. Off the face hats continue to be news, Crowns con- tinue high and boxy, though less exaggerated. Large brims will hold a prominent place with plenty of cloth and rubber flowers to dress them up, perticulad| violets and field flowers. ilan and satin are good fabrics, while one broad brimmed sports chapeau is made altogether of cork bark The Popular Hattie Carnegie Specta- tor Sports line stresses clothes that go well under fur coats, but will strut out handsomely as street clothes when warm weather comes. Beige woolen is excel- lent for wear now under mink and beav- er. Striped wool dresses in bright pat- terns, but separated from the skating and skiing woolens field by small figurings are worn with matching turbans. Street dresses combine tailor and drape by soft. ening buttons with flares. Buttons run from stem to hem on one model, another makes use of alligator eyelets and clasps. Everyone Has Been saying for a lon; time that the world is too complicated. While politicans and diplomats get no- where at conferences in such romantic capitals as Geneva and Rio de Janeiro the I. Miller stylists in hum-drum Long Island City have quietly gone about per- fecting a way out. This department be- lieves their solution will do a lot toward smoothing wrinkles from lady shoppers’ brows, although gentlemen may suffer from deep lines of satisfaction about their eyes. The I. Miller idea is that stocking heels and shades should comple- ment shoe designs and shades, and that handbags and shoes should be comple- mentary too. Shoes, hosiery and hand- bags should blend with complexion and hair. This all sounds hard to get to, but worked out it's simplicity in itself. For sandals with open toes and shanks Mil- ler provides hosiery with invisible toe and sole reinforcements. Their hose have been blended, from the newest Carnelian jewel tone through blues and black, to accent shoe tones. For their widely fea- tured girdle shoe, varied mesh patterns of hosiery have been designed to carry out the lastex weaves. Purse stitchings complement shoe stitchings. I. Miller customers who are blondes, brunettes or titians may sunburn serenely on tropical beaches, secure in the knowl. edge that hose have been tinted to match exactly sunburned blonde, brunette and titian skins. Antoine of Paris and Saks was consulted about the proper pigmen- tation. The idea is that a woman may now blend her hair, face, throat, back, arms, legs and shoe tones. And her purse, of course, if after she has accom. plished all this she still remembers to to carry it. For March stay-at-homes who cling stubbornly to native sports, Abercrombie & Fitch are stocking valuable golf rub. bers with cleated soles. To prevent your leaving them in thick muds they are sensibly sepped and buckled, come in all sizes and cost only $3.50, Ladies’ rubber riding boots come in black and brown, at $5.00. About a month ago Abercrombie’s game department received a hurry order from Connie Ben- nett for a traveling set of Bezique. They made up two sets, each contain- ing six decks and a marker, packed in- to a crushed mo- roccan calf case with drop fla front. They intend- ed to keep the sec. ond set as a sort of carbon copy, just for their files, but have already re. ceived a dozen or more orders al- though traveling Bezique is priced at $32.50. It seems that a certain newly minted English Duke and a grass widow whose initials are W. S. have taken Bezique down from the shelf, just as other moulders of international thought once revived backgammon, and the itch is already spreading. G a Rains and Winds are said to bring soft peach blooms to English women's creamy cheeks. Most Americans, how- ever, who po this English recipe to test, find themselves getting a result more like beefsteak on pigskin. To offset the ravages of strong weather, whether spring winds or summer sun, Dorothy ray is bringing out her Blustery Weath- er Lotion. For best results this applica- tion cannot be used exclusive of the fun- damental cleansing, stimulating and lu. bricating steps in your beauty routine, but used properly will keep American wom- en supreme in their homes after the most severe outdoor experiences, wheth- er hunting mallards or males. If Dorothy Gray will do this for American women for $1.00 the bottle, let Brittania and all her women see to their waves.
