Then Heed The Latest F ashions By BARABARA KEUTZENKAMP So you're going to the New York World’s Fair this month! Keep in mind the fact that New York’s temperature is apt to be chilly at this sea- son, and you'll want a warm suit for your sightseeing. A particularly good choice of a suit can be made in choos- ing one of the new color— beige — which has become popular with the New York women this season. It would be handy, too, if a casual overcoat for trav- eling. For warmer after- noons a light colored louse of cotton or dotted swiss wern with your suit would make a welcome change. You'll need also a jacket dress. A very smart one is made with a bo- lero jacket over a basque type dress. The skirt of the dress and the jacket are made of nlain rose colored crepe while the blouse (zipped all the way up in front) is made of dotted rose crepe. furn-back lapels of the bolero are faced with the dotted rese. Or if vou prefer, vou a jacket suit with the dr completely made of printed material and the jacket alone made of the plain material. You'll also want to take a rather dressy afternoon dress for teas and informal eve- nings. A lovely afternoon dress. direct from Paris, made in delicate pastel shades of crepe. The elbow length sleeves and the upper part of the bodice are “ornes de bouellonnis.” That is, the sleeves are divided into four narts by shirring, each three inches wide, and the yoke is made with a short V-neck, | finished with a small bow.! The skirt is slightly flared, and divided into six panels. | You’ll want to take an eve- ning gown with you. Take one, that doesn’t muss easily, and that has a separate bolero. The dress will serve you! double purpose: with the bol-; ero it will be correct for restaurants and theatres, and | with the bolero left off, it. will be formal enough for; dancing. Two pairs of shoes are all vou will need: one pair of | dressy shoes, and one com-! fortable pair for sightseeing. ; . And don’t forget vour: raincoat!
