Easter Frocks, Very Pretty This Spring

Something new on Easter Day has been a tradition with femininity for ages. New gloves and a new hat used to be quite enough to fulfill the feminine obligation to springtime on Easter, but now new gloves are taken for granted and a new spring hat is donned with the fur coat before Lent is half over. Easter newness, now, must be something more substantial — a whole frock, no less. If not a new suit. But this year Easter comes late enough to make charming frocks possible (worn perhaps with fur neckpieces) on the spring day of days, and therefore women are more interested than in Easter suits or wraps.

Frocks are so very pretty this spring that it is all but impossible to choose between them. Each model seems more captivating than the last—and as one woman said the other day at an opening: "They all seem so wearable." The wearableness is because most of the styles are conservative, and frock lines this spring are so straight, loose and simple that almost any frock suits almost any figure — provided one picks the proper size. Then, the longer sleeves, and the longer skirts give a dignity that appeals to the woman who does not go in for daring and striking modes.
