1t is devoutly to be wished that no
woman is color blind this season. If
she is she will make sad failure OF
her clothes. says one who is watching
the latest combinations of colors IN
Paris. Moreover. if many people have
this optic falling there will be many
sad sights witnessed by the public
There are women who have genius
for mixing coIors and this genius will
be taxed to its utmost from now on
Those who are not sure of themselves
should seek the best advice or go IN
for the one color scheme from head 10
toe.
Even the experienced amateurs have

have shown them new gowns, for the
designer has gone so close TO the
danger line that they wondered now
disaster had been averted-
At one of the smart establishments
there is a gown which is made OF
mustard cloth with lower sleeves anc
woke of violet net. Can you imagine
ii in your mind and not say awtulE
Well. it isn't awful; it is charming
The tones are so chosen that one melts
into the other without sacrificing the
charm of either or both. 1t is two
niece gown for formal afternoon wear
and will serve for the play and the
supper.
Another gown is of jet in the form OF
tunic draping over classic skirt OF
brilliant blue chiffon cloth mounted
over male green. The jet hass over It's
surface that alluring new effect called
claire de lune. This enlivens the jet
and adds to its cost and also its beauty
Inst how this moonlight effect is in
corporated in jet is a secret process
If is not new, but it is revived now
and then through the decades to con-
vince women how much lovelier IL Is
with than without it,
The riot of coloring that we will
have this winter had its genesis IN the
superimposed cloths in layers OF dif-
ferent colors This used to be theat-
ricaI. The fairy queen did 1T in the
olden time pantomime; skirt dancers
have done it since their art began. and
now we are in the throes of it for
everyday life.
1t would not be such difficult mat
ter. this heaping of one color over
another. if the world of dyers had only
invented safe colors this year; but they
haven't. Every color is unsafe 1t
may turn in the hands at any moment
and become perilous to your looks and
your taste
Those who are gifted in naming
everything that is invented have tried
to tag these perilous and peculiar
colors with explaining names, but the
names do not explain. You can run
over the whole string of them-arti-
choke. raisin, linden, kings blue. chic
ory. mandarin, That's, Alaska, marquise
and they really mean little; at least
they convey nothing about the colors
to the mind
| There were never so many tones Of
color as now To speak of violet is to
omit adding six adjectives to define the
peculiar tones of violet that are in
fashion. To use the word blue alone
means nothing. There are too many
tones of it to define. and not one of
them is the usual blue that, like the
poor. has always been with US.
The greatest art that has been given
to perfecting stage costumes is brought
| to bear on women's clothes in private
life. In the ndnuS Ol tuOSS CAibAA cAS
great the result is most satisfying to
the eye and senses. There is something
mysterious about the processes; they
do not explain themselves-they be-
wilder and dazzle.
An iridescent evening gown that
chameleonlilxe seems now purple. now
blue then green, then violet, and also
turns black in certain lights. is bound
J to entrance the beholder. And this is
what some of them do. The iridescence
is not entirely gained by one color over
another: still another process must be
delved fort is the use of an opal
escent inner lining that throws mixed
CLEANS through the solid colors.
| One of the great jewellers of this
country is trying to make the mag
nifcent black opal the gem of the sea-
son: it is because it matches the new
gowns Such is the relationship of
art in Jewels and gowning.
