New Combinations, Novelty in coIors Brides

In the midst of colors, two factors in
dress are particularly Observation-Disclosures
and white. The first named is a
favorite combination for gowns of every
description Independent black sashes
are worn with dashing effect upon
colored dresses or again there are pip
ings of black to match. India silks
showing colored figures on black
ground are very fashionable, black
silk being the popular combina-
ton. but the caprice that attracts most
attention, is that of black hat or
bonnet, genuine mourning one. worn
with black gloves and perhaps parasol,
the dress being colored and often quite
gay Enormous bows of broad black
ribbon appear on shade hats that are
otherwise adorned by bright or delicate
flowers. Black, in short, seems wei
come everywhere and yet entirely black
costumes are hardly seen out of mourn
ing. Some combinations of color, if
only vest and cuffs, is almost the rule.
Exception, however. is made in case of
black
LACE OR NIT DRESSES,
which are extremely popular and well
nigh supersede the conventional black
silk. ColorS of course. are constantly
combined in these stylish gowns. but
those entirely in black appear every
day. Il feature in the union of color this
season being not the employment Of
net or lace over colored silk as formerly
but rather the addition of vest. draped
front, or touches on sleeves. White is
less used than black as an element of
tone, but is nevertheless brought for
ward frequently and with admirable
effect, as a vest for dark green. blue or
red costumes, the hat or bonnet in keep
ing One OF green leaves is particular
ly tasteful when relieved by white and
worn with dress to match. Unusual
COMBINATIONS OF MATERIAL
also mark the present season, as where
India or surah silks are made up with
accessories of ladies cloth or united
even with gingham, Saline, or other
cottons. India and surah silk, whether
plain or figured are also noticeable
additions to dresses of faille or brocade,
but here the reason for such employ
ment is more evident, since the full
vests and other pufiings Of the day
necessitate the use Of light quality
goods As another Innovation on pre-
cedent, the trimming of line wool
draperies with black lace, may be men
toned, as also the combination of wool
and cotton, the former in the way of
pocket tlaps,c cuffs or panels. Altogether
it is topsy turvy season.
