The names of the new colors, or,
more correctly speaking, the new
names Of the old colors fashionable
this year, are so many and often so
incongruous that to attempt to learn
them all wearies one at first. 1t is q

flower and fruit has it's fashionable
namesake this year, and now fashion
is starting on the vegetables and food

the issue. Harper & Bros, Franklin
