Spring Fashion Then and Now by Miss Mary Tallis
The piece outlines spring style ideas with neat suits and long coats, pink or oyster blouses, gingham for mornings and sports, and knit jumpers. It notes color blending, lighter wools, beige as a popular shade, and feminine afternoon frocks with balloon or puff sleeves, plus twisted scarf effects and varied buckles. It also covers fur accents on evening wear, sleeve choices, and the enduring appeal of multiple colors, especially pink and blues. A separate brief promotes a slimming fruit diet, claiming two to three pounds weekly loss, with two fruit days followed by three days of ordinary meals, plus daily walks and ban on alcohol while dieting.
