THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1930 | Ty Creations of Fashion Thrill Spring Shoppers 1 a 1 : | BY GRETCHEN THOMSON This season the choice of the ward- robe is the test of a woman's taste. Never have there been so many op: ities to find the perfect cos- to bring out individual charms -and never have there been so many opportunities for going hopelessly a- stray--for mot only has Fashion as e le made a radical change, but each part of the day now has its style requirements, ranging from twgeds to the sheerest fabrics, The . womah, who wears her morning cos- {tame i rectly worn it in. recent seasons, : port nd 'herself as conspicuous as one who walks the street#bn a day with trailing wisps-of chif- fon at her ankles, The 1930 woman is well-dressed at all times of the y or evening, In the morning when eo saunters forth to business or a shopping tour; luncheon at noon, the afternoon bridge, matinee,' club or ; dinner, theatre "or dancing in the evennis~1or each affair there is & particular, ensemble which, has been designed especially for the purpose. To be in appropriately gowned not only handicaps her chances of suc. cess, but marks her as a member of that class of women who are not style-conscious, To avoid pitfalls re- quires a real study of Spring Fash. jons, and we are giving here an out- line that will be a guide in choosing the various items of a tasteful, fash ion-correct wardrobe, with important hlights on what will be worn en it will be worn and how it will be worn. Correct Morning Costume For morning wear, clever frocks of knitted fabrics or tweeds in fascin- «ating jatterns and color combina- tions would be an inducement for even the most idolent person to get up early and go some place, Tweed frocks made with she new swagger flares and fitted lines, dnd sweater ensembles suggestive of the South. land, also are smart for the early morning wayfarer. Among the mew- est versions in the realm of morning apparel is the silk frock with lum- ber jacket of the same kind of mas terial in contrasting color, dl The Tailored F It is easy to sce that the suit will the most important fashion of While the ensemble of coat is smart--the newer idea = to afternoon tea, as she has of the tailored jacket and skirt is the ' what Lo wear. and where and when and how! favorite, and if you haven't a suit this Spring your wardrobe will be a total loss, A new suit material which romises to be very popular this year as silk woven with the woolen threads and is usually a dark color flecked with a lighter tone, Soft, flannel-like woolen suits, and those of nubbed tweeds, with or without fur trimming, also are in the fashion parade, and many chic versions are offered, The tuck-in blouse and yo- ked skirt are so smart looking and youthful that they refuse to be dis- carded: The newest skirts, however, have longer yokes and a more decid- ed flare, Heather mixtures for 'the tweeds, and Dlack, blue or tones of brown for the Hain variety are the correct choice, Fitted waistlines, cape treatments, belts and up-in-front cut are points upon which practically all jackets agree, snd as in every 1930 fashion, there are types of suits for various occasions--the short tail- ored jacket for morning--the three- quarter jacket suit for general wear and the fur-trimmed suit for formal daytime wear, . pring Coats Decorative effects achieved through seaming appears to. be the dominant note of Spring coat fashions, De- tailed seaming mark semi-fitted lines ~~t0 arrange the hem flare--to create back interest--these and numerous variations indicate the importance of this form of decoration, Many inter- pretations of the flaring contour are noted in godets as well as full circus lar skirts and circular cut flounces placed low to accent the flaring hems line. On the dressy tvp - novelty are rangements in fur insistent draped pouch contours, standing col- lars with insets of fur, deep shaw! lines and tuxedos, jabot effects and bows using galyak, butter mole, lapin, dyed' squirrel or broadtail, Prints Much in Vogue Last year's prints won't do for the order of prints is reversed this year, and those with large, brilliant designs are now chosen for chiffon evening and formal frocks and small, dainty flower designs of crepe for afternoon and informal wear. Quaintly charm- ing are the afternoon printed frocks with the capped sleeves, peplums, cir- cular. skirts edged with ruffles and bows. Plain colored crepe frocks in the most fascinating colors imagin- able add a bright touch to Spring fashion, The new tones are soft an subdued In lovely rose, blue, green, purple or brown, and self-trimmes or adorned with a bit of lace at the neck and sleeves, While daytime frocks are longer and adhere closes ly to the lines of the new silhouette, they are usually of even length, For After Five O'clock Dinner dresses are among the most charming of the season's collection, Chiffon in black or pastel shades (and by the way, paste ing a dramatic return to fashion), with the new deep U-neck and quaint little puffed sleeves and ankle th, or touchin in some places, of the uneveff hemline, Capes are also an integral part of the informal and formal evening costume, Chanel started the idea as a smart Spring revival, and now all the other fam-| ous designers (and some which are not so famous) are using the idea-- entire' capes which circle the bodice, one-sided capes and cape effects, Printed chiffons, the hem and 'the cape decorated with a wide tulle bor der are colorful and chic for dinner and informal evening affairs, Many of these capes are detachable dnd thus can be made into a formal even. ing frock quickly. The Silhouette As always, simplicity is the test of true choice and the test of the new fashions manage to achievean effect of subtle simplicity despite their clap- orate details and picturesque lines, The silhouette of Spring is the sil houette of good taste--a modfication of extreme length and nipped-in. wnist, As to length there are four sifications--for sport, three inch ¢s below the knee--tor daytime, four I to six-~for afternoon, six inches be« low the knee, except for the very formal costume. Ankle length all around, with perhaps a dip in the back, is accepted for evening. The normal waistline is defined a belt, shirring or tucking, Skirt- Julness remains low, gored effects and pleats are prominent, but there is less flare in the smartest models. os Many things unexpected of sleeves have come to pass, and they attract considerable attention by their greats er elaboration, their shorter than full. length or their complete absence. Many of the sport dresses have little cap sleeves and look much smarter than those that are sleeveless, Dress. Lizzard Trim: © Sizes 8 to 10% ..

Fashions this season seem to have been designed with the special idea of adding capes or wide berthas which dre of the sort to make even a debutante look younger. More than half of the dresses have a capelet in some form-attached to sleeves--a wide cape bertha or a shoulder cape that is detachable, The cape or caper let of course attains its smartest ex~ pression on coat or suit, On the day- time or sports model it is seldom more than shoulder-length, while for afternoon it may reach to elbow and be elaborated with band of fur, Boleros The bolero influence is seen in many directions--~from suits and coats to sports, daytime and even. ing gowns--sometimes a separate jacket--often simulated by tucks, bands or ruffles, New Color Tones As fashionable colors are naturally designed to compliment fashionable complexions, the sartorial color chart of 1930 will favor the pearly femi- nine skin; Blue always accompanies feminine fashion epochs and is com- ing back strongly into the Spring mode for morning, afternoon and evening. A great variety of gray tones will naturally follow: There will be several rich reds, the gamut of | brown from negre to yellow, White for summer is as inevitable as black for winter, and white contrasted with black is one of the smarest Spring fashion themes. Spring * Blways launches new greens and we will ve tones ranging from a color that approaches spring water to dark leaf shades. A fascinating group of past. els are featured for sports, in a vas riety which provides choice for dark girls and fair, BATHING SUITS It is most important that bathing suits fit well, One that is a bit loose will sag and pull and gather itself in unbecoming folds as soon: as it is wet, HIPS' IMPORTANCE New styles emphasize the hips in charming manner, But the slender figure still is capitalized. Yokes and other hip treatment is much smarter over slenderized lines, STORMS SWEEP GEORGES BANK Boston Fishing Fleet Badly | Crippled by Stiff Gale Boston, March.~The past 'week proved a most unfortunate period for the fishermen that sail out of , Boston and Gloucester harbors due to a stiff gale which swept across Georges Bank, } More that a score of boats were disabled and several had to be'tow- ed in either by the Coast Guard veseels or by companion fishermen. The schooner Ruth and Mare garet broke a piston rod at the height of the hurricane and sent out a hurried S08, The Coast Guard destroyer Jouett heard the distress call and hurried to, side, After a desperate struggle | with wind and waves a line was finally put aboard the stricken craft and she was towed to the safety of Boston harbor, About a mile from the spot where the Ruth and Margaret broke down the schooner Isabel was trying to buch the gale, with a crippled engine and a tired crew trying to force patches of canvass on the sticks to keep her nose into the seas, Mer distress call was heard by the coast guard patrol boat Frederick Lee, many miles to the north'ard, Bravely the little patrol boat pushed through the seas to the schooner, A line was put aboard and soon the slow journey of nearly 225 miles to Boston was begun, But the pro- gress was slow; it was a hard pull for the little patrol boat and when the steam trawler Willlam J, O'Brien hove in sight, homeward, the Isabel was transferred. At' Gloucester harbor the drag- ger Doris Amero, Captain Ners Amire, putsputted to safety with the Evelyn G. Sears dragging as. tern at end of some 50 fathoms of towing hawser, Like her sisters, the Evelyn Sears was crippled by the gale, but a few miles distant from the Ruth and Margaret and the Isabel. Like the others it was her engine that failed and for 48 | cout she was hove to while the groat burst aver her deck. Then along came the Doris Amerie," n a line was passed and slowly the vessels made thelr way to port, The crew of the dragger Hthel Marian were taken off by the traw. lor Alden A, Mills which in turn turned them over to the coast guard cutter Acustnet, The' cutter + was held up 120 miles from Boston by the gale and is expected in with. in a few days and the complete' news of the rescue will be known, he Ethel Marian was rges ks after Te ero a a Asam Osborn of Was owne Vineyard battered at her hull and || The Ensemble Also For Men About two snd a half years ago the ensemble idea in men's Wear was insugurated by leading manu facturers and -retallers in most sections of the country, Today that ides has developed with-amazing rapidity, With the opening of the spring sesaon this thought of come bining the proper styles with the right color tones will be pushea stronger than ever, y Said a leader of men's furnishing recently in an interview: "The en sfmble ides has made man wore careful about his dress and buying, You notice the wrong combination of wrong shirt, tle, and suit more than you did a few years ago, and think less of the person with the wrong combination, This has, no doubt, caused the greater demand for ensembles." Now the retalleg offers complete wets of furnishings in single colors or whades, suchjas sets of blue, brown, reds, ete, There is a certain conviction among manufacturers. as well as retaflers that shirts with light grounds will be favored extensively this spring. This, of course, wiil roplace the medinm and dark effects which prevailed for the last year or more, The trend toward lighter grounds was noted last fall, This was found trues, iii the sale of demi-bosom shirts, those being of- fered in the wales 'and clearances being of the darker nues, while the lighter shades wero sold rapidly during th regular season, 'I'hen, too, the negligee business also showed a leaning toward lighter colors during the winter, Prominent shirt concerns have bent most of thelr efforts in the production of striped patterns. Those featured in the spring lines are vertical, while the demibosoms, gnerally speaking, shoved the cross-stripe effects, These stripes run from hasirlines 16 a quarter of an inch, the Istter being popular In England. These are placed from & quarter of an inch fo two Inches apart, Colors that are dominant are red, green, lilac, blue and tan. With the striped shirt as the vogue, neckwear naturally will show fig- ures. This 1s usually the trend. When stripes are used in neck-( wear, then figured eotfects are to be found in shirts, I -------------------------- BATISTE BLOUSE A blue tailored suit from Paris has a-hand-madg beige batiste blouse that has its body all over tucks to bolero length and its sleeves tucked up to above the elbow. A formal town ensemble is of dark brown woollen, made with a semi- princess line to the coat and a shawl collar and deep cuffs of blue fox. Suit Emerges Most Piquant Apparel For Spring Wear Beating the Easter fashion parade by at least a month is the wardrobe schedule smart women must set for themselves this spring, Everything promises an exceptionally early spring and with Faster coming so late this year, no one should expect the twain to meet to decide what's what in chic for 1980, First choice for the season's ward- robe should be a suit, says Julia Blanshard, Suits really are the cro- cuses of the fashion world, fresh, ap- pealing bobbing up here and there unexpectedly to tell a world grown tired of winter that spring is here. Nothing could be more appropri- ate to the season than the jaunty, youthful verve of new spring suits, For now that that particular type of apparel has been psyched out of the inferiority complex that the ubiqui- tous long-coated ensembles gave them the suit emerges as the most piquant apparel for spring, 'positively topnotch socially and sartorially, Distinction In Spring Suits There are many types of spring suits but they may be classified roughly as sports suits, - regulation tailored suits and elaborated dress. maker suits. It is from the second and third classification that the wear- able daytime suits should be chosen, because sports suits this year should be reserved for either spectator or participator sports wear. No suit/is a good choice this year that does not take cognizance of the waistline and the curved body sil houette, The most refreshing aspect of the new styles is their re-discove ery of the human figure's lines, , Tailored suits are semi-fitted or close-fitted, single-breasted or double but the most correct ones are re- strained both in their lines and in the cut of their peak or notched la- pels, The style is in the perfect fit and fing tailoring, Skirts are wrap~ around or gored, cut with yokes with pleats below or with godets that give fuluess below a hipline, Belts come with each suit and the sweetest and daintiest blouses in many a year tuck into the skirts, Fine twills, tweeds, garbardines, covert cloth, corded worsteds, novel- ty featherweight woolens frum abroad and plain finish soft fabrics fashion these suits. Blue is outstand- ing. Oxford gray is the choicest thing one can buy if it is a becoming shade, black is excellent with flesh- colored, pale green, maize or white blouses, This type of suit cries aloud for a handsome fox neckpiece, ONLY ONE CRASH IN 929,000 MILES Mail Planes of Canada Have Had a Fine Record Ottawa, ~-Planes employed by the Dominion Government for the carrying of air mail in Canada have flown approximately 929,000 miles since 1927 with but one fatal ac cident marring their fine perform- ance record. The crash referred to occurred recently at Kingston, Ont, when two men were killed. The accident probably was due to poor flying conditions. Reviewing the country's air mail system, Hon. Peter J. Venlot, post master general, found two other crashes occurred in which planes were destroyed but fortunately no loss of life incurred. Estimates the postmaster general will shortly submit to the House of Commons embrace provision for linking up Montreal. and Winnipeg by aero- plane, except for a night train trip from Montreal to a point in north- orn Ontario as yet not finally de- cided upon. Canada's air mail sys tem will then extend from Halifax Parts, of the trdns-Canada alr mail route are going to pay "hand- somely," the postmaster general be- lleves, while it will take three or four years to build up the necessary business to make it a paying pro position. It {s understood that mo franking or free mailing privileges will be extended on the air lines whatsoever, The recent air mall rates call for a five-cent stamp on each letter, which is but three cents more than the ordinary two-cem letter rate. Benefiting from the experience qf the United States government air mail srvice, the Canadian govern- ment awards its contracts to aero. plane companies on the basis of mileage flown with a load of 600 pounds of mail, This plan is found to work more satisfactorily than the United States first plan of hir- ing planes on the basis merely of weight in mail carried, MOIRE BAG The correct afternoon bag is of black moire, with fancy brilliant and jeweled handle and fastening. Morn. ings and. for sportswear Milady can not be too colorful or fancy in her purses, EYE VEILS Some new hats insist on being ac- companie himsical looking lit- tle veils that spill a few small bits of dots across one's eyes and nose and to the Rocky Mountains. end at cheek depth, SPRING SILHOUETTE ADAPTED TO YOUTH The spring silhoueite is long, the tendency to raise the waistline to an almost abnormal level, as ap- parent in the Winter Collections, having come to a speedy end, writes Soittield, Paris correspond- ent of "Mayfair," in forecasting spring. modes in the latest issue of that magazine, *"Waists, on the whole have dropped back to the ale most long effect, although on many dresses a belt - still defines the normal waistline slightly above the hips. Evening dresses, closely moulded to the figure, swing with much fullness below an almost low waistline, There is a preference for flat, almost draped hiplines for afternoon and evening wear; and in some cases models carried out in the sheath manner are to be seen, Even walking and sports dresses are made with a series of pinpoint gathers across the hips, Briefly, the spring silhouette is ads apted essentially to youthful coms tours and will still be unkind t4 women inclined to stoutness, * Capes and Collars Fashions: this season seem t¢ have been designed with the spec lal idea of adding capes or wide berthas which are of the sort to make even a debutante look young er, More than half of the dresses have a capelet in some formate tached to sleeves--a wide cape bertha or a shoulder cape that if detachable, The cape or capelet of course attains its smartest ex pression on coat or suit.
