NEW SCHEMES IN
PARIS WEAR
BY MADAME HYDoRNE.

Paris, Feb. More and more elab-
crate and bewitchingly intricate in
their details of beautiful hand stitchery
and ornamentation become the dresses
that are now made for the fashionable
Riviera season, all of them with the
welcome promise of spring that they
bear. And how lovely the colors are
can scarcely describe; a cyclamen,
pink shade of cloth with suggestion
of orchid mauve in it; asp, a new green
of curious snake-like shade; wood
brown, with a Renaissance of the
glowing leaves of autumn, and the
most delicate greys, dove and lawn
shades are usurping the prestige OF the
already somewhat too prevalent wine
tints, and the SevTes and Natter blues
of which we have become perhaps just
little weary.
Most successful minglings Of colors
are carried out by the cleverest dress
makers; one that I saw the other day
struck me as particularly happy. 1t
was an afternoon toilette of asp green
satin with a dull surface, draped with
nickel gray marquisette, the green
making q more definite appearance up
on the corsage where there were bands
Of velvet embroidered with gray floss
silk and dull silver threads. and here
and there tasseled with these infinit ely
modish dressmakers are using with
such success this winter upon almost
every full-dress costume.
The hat destined to be worn with the
dress was of the cavalier shape. made
Of green velvet lightly draped round
the crown with clouds OF gray mar
quisette, and at one side plumed with
asp green ostrich feathers.
