The Relieving Touches

The Relieving Touches
Bright and pale violet. fashion
authorities declare, will be much used
this winter in relieving touches. A
sort of crude young salad green will
also be employed with widely dissiri-
lar colors, as well as cerise. orange and
the softer oriental tints.
The shade in cerise which seems TO
have found favor with the manufac-
turers very nearly approaches the oil
magenta. In thin millinery velvet tbie
color may trim a brown hat tbe velvet
gauged in elaborate crown puffs and
into cachepeigne flounces and deck
| ings.

Kitchen and Dining Room
A kitchen in an apartment, which had
to serve as a dining room, was made
very attractive. The walls werel
painted a pale green. A carpenter
made a case which fitted over the wash
tubs and when this was painted white |

screen concealed the gas range.
The New Umbrellas
Fancy borders and shot or change
able silks are offered in umbrellas. In
spite of their longer handles and fanci-
full appearance generally these are not
in any way suggestive of parasols and
and summer skies. Only the
darker shades are used. Dark green,
navy blue, purple violet. crimson and
brown are all shot with black and
fancy borders, either of ribbon sepa-
rately applied or woven in the silk for
this especial purpose, follow small and
unobtrusive designs and colors equally
subdued.

of richness for the woman who wears
black.
