JEWELS To MATCH THE GOWNS

artistic touch that Is coming to be

of the semipreoious stones in attract

MANY STYLES WORN
There has never been a season when
there has been more bewildering va
riety of shapes and styles in the even
ing coats than there is this winter.
Besides the almost endless number of
capes and semiitted coats These are
generally made of clinton broadcIoths
In the pastel shades; the capes are
sometimes very beautifully ornamented
with silk braids or frog ornaments,
and the coats are made long and semi
fitting. with panel backs. low neck
openings or shawl collars, and are fas-
tened with frogs of braid or big braid
ed buttons.
With the exception of black, all of
the evening wraps are made in the
light colors. Various shades of tan
and champagne hold their own for this
purpose, and grays, old rose, pastel
blue, apricot and cream are other
shades frequently used.
LIGHT COLORED BALL GOWNS
Although the evening gowns are
much darker in hue this season than
has been the usual CUSTOM many
women have an unfaIling prejudice in
favor OF light colors for their gowns
for balls and dances. The deeper
shades they are quite willing to use
for their dinner gowns. but the most
popular Of ell colors for the dancing
costumes has been, as usual, white. 1t
Is true that the light colors make the
ensemble of such gatherings more at
tractive than where the heavier tones
are used-there is far less danger of
the colors clashing If they are not too
decided; where a number of strong
deep colors are gathered together the
effect is not as harmonious, no matter
how beautiful each individual gown
may be.
From the beginning of recorded his
tory, from the early days when people
used to dress for the most part in
what appear to us now like sheets
draped more or less gracefully, white
has been the supreme favorite. No
matter what other colors have been
used then or now, white has aiways
held the principal place among them.
It is the one color in which every
woman looks her best. Perhaps the
incident will be remembered in the RI
valry between the Empress Josephine
and her beautiful sister in law. Paul
