the girl who bushes not deeper than
the peoples with which her parasol Is
painted, and she wears roses that are
blood red, not the faint, delicate pink
roses Of the old-fashioned sort. When
you paint use the brighter tones rather
than the faded, dull tints." So declared
the artistic French woman
And there is another rule which the
hand-painted girl would do well to OBJ
serve. Choose your flower and stick to
it. If you select the wisteria vine,

immensely for the summer girl. 1t is
a novelty, cheap and pretty. So why
should 1t not be the most popular
thing of the year?
AS for me, I specially like the
hand painted blouses of plain silk.

painting silk shirt waists. 1t looked
more like the studio Of an artist than

we Of fashions world must lovingly
bow.
The CO1ors of the Summer.
The select colors this season are the
vegetable colors. They are onion
green, asparagus green. pea green, let
tuce green and watercress green. Then
in the reds one notes watermelon pink,
which is very red; beet red, radish red
and carrot red.
In the yellows there is a very smart
squash colored cloth. and there are
flower yellows galore, buttercup. yell
low rose. daffodn yellow and the yell
low of the cowslips.
1t Is strange how many new tones
one can find and how readily they can
be recognized at glance. The new
burnt cream tone is quite different
from the creamy tint, and there Is
flesh color, which differs from both.
1t is a good thing for the woman OF
the season to accustom herself to the
new tints, for she may be able to get
something specially smart by paying
attention to the innovations IN the
color line.
The woman who clings by prefer
ence to the old shades should be sure
to select tones that hold their style,
for there is nothing funnier, from
fashionable standpoint, than a gown
that is made up in a color that is not
popular now. Don't try to be a sue
cessful dresser in old colors and
mediocre fabrics. 1t cannot be done.
Parrot and onion green are the lat.

popularity for themselves. and to be
gowned in these, with trimmings of
a deeper shade or with contrasting
trimmings Of coral or tomato, is to be
very smartly costumed. indeed.
Girlish Garments Are Worn
All women want to look younger this
year and here are few little frills Of
fashion which add to ones youthful
appearance. If you want to look girl
ish around the belt you must put on
one Of the girdles Of crushed satin. Let
the girdIe for afternoon or evening be
of pink. Let it be very wide and very
soft and very thin, but decidedly lus-
trous Do not furnish it with sash
ends. but let 1t be completed with two
rosettes at the back. These can be of
medium size and should be put on
two inches apart, to make the waist
look small and trim II far apart. these
rosettes have a tendency to make the
belt look too wide.
And there is another way to look
Youthful and this is To trim with Iittlo
ruffles and with frills. Let there be
flounces and tucks. and let each be
edged with narrow ruffle Of lace,
preferably of Valenciennes. There is
