the reposo OF feeling that they ore fashion
ably II not bccomingly clothed, and there
aro many womon who will consciously
choose oxtremo fashion rather than OK
trcmo bocoIningncss In garments.
Fashion Is far moro strict as regards form
than in respect TO color. Few coiors ever
go completely ouS Of her gamut except ma
gcnta and the very vivid bfuos and green's
and these are by no means universally be-
coming. The bcst dressed women arc those
who know what best suits them and have
tho courage OF their convictions In spite of
fashion laws and prophets.
Ono may choose any color and yet be in
the mode this season, however, since every
tint Is we'll represented. Puppies grcons
and pinks arc rather more decided in tono
than they have been for several years past
and arc moro generally employed but there
arc enough persons who prefer mode col
ors to have the latter we'll represented In
oil fabrics. Black Is decidedly In vogue us
would naturally BIO the case during high
ly colorcd season, as 1t Is required by way
Of contrast and for toning down effects
that might otherwise seem gaudy.
