If Winter Comes—

If Winter Comes—

—can Spring be far behind? And this year she is early—giving all sorts of hints that her arrival is to be spectacular and dashing. Suddenly we feel a revived interest in our clothes—a desire to emerge from furs, leathers and wools and to don something lighter, softer—suggestive of daffodils and clear skies. And this capricious lady, like all her sex, has a habit of seizing us unawares—springing upon us when we are quite unprepared for her visit. A gorgeous, almost hot day—you are going out to lunch in town and you simply haven't a thing to wear. Your winter clothes suddenly seem repulsive and extremely ancient. It is not at all too early to begin your “schemes,” to think out colour arrangements etc., for no woman, however favoured by nature can look attractive unless she gives some serious attention to her clothes so that they will be a little out-of-the-ordinary and slightly unusual—part of herself.
