fcorYRfGHr, 1891

Joscph's coat of many colors was a
dull. unintcresting garment next the
fa5rications of the 1898 modiste. Even
the number of the materials which it
presumably contained is fully equaled
by many street dress OF to-day. This
matter OF materials and color has be-
come to be serious problem. In the
bcginning-not of the world but of the
season-color held high carnival; all
her fays were in the mad whirl
Scarlet, on black steed, rode rampant
through the center azure perched
daintily on white mare with snowy
trappings; flaming orange sat proudly
on beautiful chestnut; deep, royal
purple looked regal on glossy bay;
while In the maze of brilliant dancers
there were magneta and Russian green,
and yellow, and host of queer, un-
namable shades. Society came and
looked on for awhile, seemed interest
ested, and made as though IL would
put its stamp of approval thereon;
when lol before one could realize it,
society had itself turned it's back
upon them, showing its disap-
proval additionally by the sober
garb which 1t Immediately pro-
ceeded to adopt. So that all the
world was sobered for time
and went about in mourning robes
One saw black everywhere, from state
ly grandmother to frivolous grand
daughter. That the fair DANES hankered

that the quieter tints lack.
] saw yellow tastefully combined
with black in n carriage cloak which
caught but glimpse OF as it passed
The black velvet turned back in big
rovers that were faced with creamy,
rare old lace. At the edge was tiny
band OF jet over pale yellow velvet. In
the lap lay bunch of yellow roses.
Then rich brown melted off into
the creamy color. 1t was q plain skirt,
with three rolls of velvet running
around, several inches above the edge.
A neat, close-ltting jacket, all of
brown velvet, stopped just at the
waist, turning away in front from the
pale yellow silk that was gathered
into long puffs from neck to waist. A
very neat astrakhan hat, of low crown,
topped the costume. It turned up in
quiet edge, which was cut away just
in front, where wide satin ribbon,
braided, was drawn over to meet the
a!grettes and black ornaments that
rose up. Two single black satin choux
finished the back.
The overskirt idea is making rapid
headway-not so much in street wear
as in evening gown. Even in the
former, however, 1t is noticeable-in
the slight drape of the skirt that
hangs over, almost to the length of
the one beneath; in the fancy hip
drapings; and in the prolongation of
basques into pretty folds and falls

after that gay maze OF colors, how
ever, was evident; for one began to
notice bits Of color in among the dark
folds. They were very taking, these
harmless little things, that made such
wonderful change in the black ef-
fects; and so society was encouraged
to go on in the work. Very stealthily,
but very surely, the color crept in; and
we now see the effects of it in the
somewhat fantastic coloring that
walks our streets. One readily dis
tinguishes the woman of taste from
the woman Of color only. For knoo
or two will make the one and perfect
splurgc of inharmonious shades will
mar the other.
That it is season of color, one will
grant when the long list of new tints
is put before him. While black is still
the groundwork, the sure foundation,
1t is so metamorphosed by brilliant ad-
ditions that we view it in altogether
different light than of yore. Here
are the names of some of our fashion
able shades
Santal, rich red brown; platine, a
grayish white; cigale, true grasshop-
per tint; grenade, plum red; matelot,
deep sailor blue; vigne, color that
Solomon bids us beware of; chartreuse,
beautiful orange red; laurelle, a
rich, deep pink; faison, u tender gray;
many flower colors, as verveine, azalee,
jacinthe and host of other names,
representing l know not what tirts.
Colors and materials are mixed in this
array of names. There is peau de
suede, soft and thick mohair, with long
hairs; the Montrose, white vigogne
of great richness; the Strand, a cheviot
of black ground with figure In colors,
running over; the Flamande, a fine
diagonal on satin ground; Middleton, q
snowy saclsing, with a rough and
scraggly surface; Queenstown, an Irish
poplin, and Eastbourne, crinkled
armure novelty. And so we struggle
among fantasies and bewildering
mazes of queer appellation.
In Paris the rather insipid rose color
is combined with many shades of green,

four goals to nothing staring them in the
