ranging from n pale tint almost as
light as ecru TO the deepest metallic

ported this year as Vandyke red and
are especially beautiful in velvet and
rich goods like those used in the fam
Gus portraits OF the Flemish painter.
The most noteworthy feature oil tho
new materials and styles Is the ten
dency shown everywhere to elongated,
lengthwise effects. The prevailing
styles thus far exhibited are a simpli-
flcation OF the directoire, emitting its
wearisome huge revers, cravats, and
wing-like side pieces and exag-
gerating the severity OF its gen
eral cut The fullnoss OF the
shoulder is retained in the sleeve, but
otherwise most OF the sleeves for walk
ing-dresses are plain coat-sleeves,
moderately close. The leg-ofmutton
and other full sleeves will, NO doubt,

Contrasts OF two colors arc no longer
considered elegant in wool and there
are only few dresses imported with
trimmings OF the same tone of color.
Black velvet Is considered the most
elegant contrast with all colors, wheth-
or brown. blue, or red shades. Nearly
all the panels shown for combination
with plain woods OF various hues are
made up OF black velvet, striped o!
brocaded. on slcilienno or gros-
