In colors there are many shades Of
gray, castor and brown. 1t may safely
be said that, SO far as the writer has
observed, there are more gowns worn
of these colors In different shades than
of any other, save black. Green ID
worn in great moderation, there is no
more blue in evidence than usual, for
blue is a staple color. and, as for
mauve, exquisite as it is, 1t is trying

Some of the most beautiful panne
cloth costumes are in rich cerise pinks
and warm yellow; the latter sounds

not lemon, and one that blends admir-.
ably with certain browns.

with a low crown. It was sort 81
