QUIETER Tones This YEAR

Clothes are quleter in tone. There
are fewer daring color combinations.
Last year Paris sent the most marvel.
lous combinations. A number OF col.
ors were used in the one costume, and
these were OF the most striking and
seemingly inCOIgruOus nature. But
this spring this is changed.
The Sea3o1's Shirtwaists.
Shirtwaists are usually white. The
backs of shirts and blouses are very
pain and without fuluess. There may
ne a small yoke over the shoulder in
front, but It does not extend down the
hack. The sleeves have a ruflle inside
OF the top to aid the square shoulder
effect.
Gray 10 a Coming Color
Gray Is much used in handsome
gowns. Ecru holds its own fairly we'll
hut in the imported models there will
be found two Of gray to one of ecru.
And while speaking of these models it
is worth noting that rarely in former
- asons has there been shown so many
Bluck gowns in all materials for spring
ana summer wear as-is exhibited this
year.
White, however. Is even more popu-
lar. Oyster shell white Is the most
modisn, but ivory white is the most
generally becoming.
eraidine Is the Smart Trimming.
Much heavy embroidery is used.
Generally 1t matches the material Pa.
Quin is the Ouly great maker who
shows any tiusel. and he employs 1t
sparingly Braidlug Is the latest
touch. It will probably appear in pro.
fusion on tail models. MORE Is the
best ribbon to employ.
a Tip About the Walking Skirt.
The habit skirt Is Undesirable for
mony reasons, but a short walking
skirt is a necessity. The correct
length is just one inch from the
ground all around. And, by the way
when getting sucu q skirt. walk before
Il mirror Ia It. Few people walk
straight, and a skirt may have to be
cut a trihe shorter before or behind to
meet individual requirements. In 9th.
er words, do not judge OF the even.
ness of the bottom line of your skirt
by standing still In IT,
The absolutely circular founce Is
going out. A shaped founCe that
sweeps away from q center panel Is
better.
A Smart, If Small, Summer Outfit.
Blouses can be varied indefinitely.
y white cloth skirt and few white
hlouses of widely different materials
VIII help along wonderfully in a sum
mer outfit. A deeper yoke Is again in
itvor. Blouses made In this way usu
ely fasten behind and have q plain
back, although Que good model had
lines of embroidery extending from
the yoke over the shoulders, and
down to the waist. II buttoned right
up the center, and was absolutely plain
there.
A Word About Sleeves.
Sleeves are much larger and show
nc symptoms Of decreasing in size.
And they are very elaborate. They
can be varied In any way so that a
general pear shape Is preserved. with
the small end at the shoulder and the
Larger at the elbow or wrist.
In Place of the Tailor Gown.
The old tailor gown is now sup.
planted by frock Of silk or canvas,
which is distinctly more elaborate. The
t;ilors only chance now Is in the short
sLirted suit and sporting clothes in
general.
Hats are fiat, but the bow in the
back is being done to death. Black
and white Is the favOrite combination,
though khali-colored strew is a great
success. 1t Is also extremely useful,
as 1t will not soil easily. The much
talked of chrysanthemum braid is
used chiefly as a facing. as 1t catches
the dust too easily to be a wise choice
for the whole hat.
