suitable only for middle aged and elderly
women. Plain black silk muslin Is also
seen and is very pretty sort of stuff, thin
and cool. These black gowns are in good
taste and generally becoming, but there Is
at least one type Of woman who should
shun black with dull finish, aud that is
the fiorid type. Instead of tonhg down
her color, 1t increases it tenfold by contrast
and is as detrimental to tho appearance
of her complexion as turquoise blue, which
is putting it strongly. A woman who is
inclined to everlasting should never ven-
ture to wear dull black unless she modifles
1t by liberal use of cherry or scarlet,
which are strong enough tints to make her
skin look white.
