FASHIONABLE COIORS

The horse show established the vogue Of brown
beyond all question. Wholesale dealers say that
brown fabrics are in such great demand that de-
liveries from factories on this side Of the
water as we'll Europe are extraordinarily
slow The dyers simply overwhelmed with
orders. A great deal of discrimination should be
used in buying brown. Some shades keep we'll in
sunshine and rainy weather. while others fade
distressingly. Brown silk is not agreeable, as
q rule, especially taffeta and the heavy silks

trernely fashionable this season. At the horse
show one saw innumerable afternoon gowns Of

One we'll known woman Of fashion appeared in
several brown Gowns, wearing with them very
large fluffy stoles Of brown marabout or ostrich.
Other good colors are green. gray, and violet;

red and the rose tones there colors were notably
be sure but they are always conspicuous because
so rarely worn. They are quite suitable how
ever for young girls, to whom they are most
becoming. Plaids and checks are obviously not
as fashionable as they have BEEN They have
not gone out altogether, but plainly less
popular than plain afbrics.
Evening gowns are mostly white, altho the
pale tones of maize, mauve helitrope and pale
blue and pink were represented. It was sur
prising how little difference there was between
day and evening fabrics. Velvet and broadcloth
were wora day and evening, which crepe de
chine walking gowns were as common as elabori

The difference lay in the color and design.
