are seen, colors seem to melt into each
other almost inperceptibly, the astrachan
finish lending additional soltness.
Sharp contrasts are noticeable in the
Clan plaids, which will be much Worn

have taken place in %co!ors, and heliotrope

as 'popular as such a trying color ever
can DO, while forest green, russell brown

Yellow will be very little used except in
combination with black; crimson and

extent.
IN MILLINERY
Black does not play the important part
that it has done for two seasons past.
OF course there must be always a goodly

comparative insignifcance. Furry

into various shapes, will match the
rough cancels hair goods, and ielts with
moderately dating brims, in Nile green,
