INCREASING COST OF CLOTHES.
The present demand upon dress al
fowances are so e1acting that it is
difficult even for those who have gen.
erous sums set apart yearly for dress
expenses to appear smart on all oc-
,casions. The struggle grows far more
serious year by year, as prices in

market the very costliest fabrics they

DAY OF ESATERIC COLORS.
Colors this year are out of the or
binary and charming. Sub
dued and dusky tones are to be found
in nearly all the fashionable shades,
which promises well for the gracious
blending OF the costumes of guests at
smart assemblages this season. Taupe
holds favor in wonderful fashion, al
though it has more pink cast than
the taupe of last season. All shades
of smoky violet amethyst and wis
TARA are two new shades-wdll be
much worn, as will be copper
greens and green blues. Peacock
blue is still considered very good, and
all the rose colors. Gold is to be
the most fashionable shade for arti-

ever must we pay attention to the
clothing Of our feet, for more than
