This is the season of the year
when some men, who never dis-
play any energy, have enough to
walk several miles to catch a
few fish.
Outfit Serves Admirably to
Show Off Many Charm-
ing Accessories.
Miss Springtime Is not wearing the
straight and simple tailored suit for
her own sake. She has chosen Its se-
verity as a background to Indulge a
taste for charming accessories.
The hoyish-cut suit, with Its smart
little upper or lower pocket, Is delight-
fully adorned with a watch fob or a j
bright, dainty handkerchief. The nar-
row, monogrammed tie or the gay
scarf, so difficult to choose from a mil-
lion Ingenious creations, looks well
under the long lapeled Jacket
And what Is a buttonhole for If not
for naively bright spring flower or bou-
tonniere? The yellow tulip Is a de-
lightful touch with a tie and a “hanky"
of the same shade.
If Miss Springtime cannot boast a
pocket In her new suit, and pockets,
after all, are not the most essential
things In her life, she can wear her
dainty net-edged handkerchief strapped
about her slender wrist on a little bead-
ed wristlet. The fluttery edges of net
peek alluringly from under the sleeve
and the narrow bracelet gives an old-
fashioned chaym to the wrist.
Then theS*”OTe
are hat ornaments and canes. And
there are vests and collars and sheer
hose and novelty gloves. All these
tliMgs are really more Important than
the frock . or cont or tailored suit.
Everybody knows the well-dressed
young woman who buys expensive and
tasteful hats and shoes and gloves
every season, and her simply tailored
frock perhaps only on<4> In two or
three years.
Of course, some women nver-ompha-
slze the Importance of these costume
accessories. Re warned, no one can
wear them all at the same time. Soon-
er or later one sees a young creature
strolling down the avenue wearing a
watch fob. a bracelet, a scarf, a neck-
tie, n handkerchief and n boutonniere
all nt once. And the same young per-
son has buckles on her shoes and car-
ries a cane. Sadly overdecorated.
Knowing Just what little things to
add to one s costume Is nn art. Wear-
ing too many nt once frustrates the
very purpose of the simple tailleur.
The boyish suit Is un excellent back-
ground for one or two unique touches.
There Is no need to plaster It with
every wearable article one finds In a
shop window.
With the handkerchief and tie and
boutonniere the bracelet Is out of
place. Even a scarf Is redundant.
With the scarf, tied somewhat like a
stock tie, the fob looks well and the
cane Is attrnctive. The simple vest
can be accompanied with a bright
flower in the buttonhole, shoe buckles
and even a simple hat ornament. The
small, bright red hat can have a little
more than a red handkerchief or red-
topped cane to go with it

Something New in Neckpiece#
The popularity of the Uttle tailleur
has made the fur neckpiece a moat Im-
portant part of the costume. While
the shops are showing the usual beau-
tiful fox pieces they are alao showing
neckpieces dyed In strange and won-
derful ways. A fox skin dyed a bright
green or a brilliant yellow vies with
smaller skins of ermine presumably,
also dyed exotic shades. Whether
these brilliant colors will prevail over
the ipore conservative shades remains
to be seen
