A decidedly new feature of the sea-
sons modes not yet introduced IN TO
peka but noted in the eastern cities,
is the popularity of the dark colors,
hitherto regarded as belonging eX-
clusively to daytime occasions, Tor
evening gowns. Dark blues, uarh
greens, dark reds. mahogany, ceoar'
taupe-aIl the street shades are be
ing worn in silk and velvet ana
chiffon for elaborate evening tunc-
lions. And what relief they must pc
to the eye, wearied of the inevitable
pale SnadeS OIL blue, 5-0C1i- -
low and lavender which, with an
occasional red and the always fash
ionable black have furnished the
only possible choice for evening gowns
for many seasons. speaking Oh
black the Topeka women who nave
been in New York this winter say they
never saw so much black in all their
lives before. Everywhere, IN the
cafes and hotels, at the theater and at
smart functions, both daytime and
-
color. A great deal of gold, so popu-
lar in all combinations this season. is |
used with it and it is further ightened
and relieved in the case of gowns of
diap1anous material by wonderful
Innings and interlinigs- which show. a |
CLINT of color through the black.
Collars are either high or not at all. |
In the eastern cities one sees women |
with collarless gowns and rich furs on |
the street on the coolest days. Many |
gowns are cut with small V necks, |
others have merely the round, Dutch |
finish. Flat collars of lace or en-
brOidery finish many of these collar
less gowns and they are seen indoors
and out and on all occasions. One
reads a good bit in the fashion gos-
sip in the authoritative magazines and
papers, of silk. satin or chiffon
brocaded in self-colored velvet. Mrs.
Harrison S. Morgan has q beautiful
chiffon reception gown in a dull pink
shade, of this description, one of the
best looking gowns worn in Topeka
this season Mrs. Roosevelt intro
duced this new material in Washing
ton in a much advertised dinner gown
of sapphire blue. Mrs. Fairbanks the
wife of the vice president, has an
apricot dinner gown of this material
which was also selected by Miss
Beatrice Mills (the Countess Of
Granard) for her wedding gown.

When Mike Murray was ill, a.

.Johnstone have been i'll since, but no
Ahody sent them any goodies" and
