son or grass-green parasoi and leath-
er wrist bag. AS the season advances
lighter colors make their appearance
among the street dresses for town
wear, but the popularity Of the dark
gown so much in evidence during the
past winter has held over and is like
ly to remain feature Of the fashions
for some time to come. Ii Is 30 es-
sentially a practical fashion to don
dark and inconspicuous coiors for
practical wear, and to reserve the
pale, perishabie tones for house and
evening use, and, OF course. for warm
weather out Of town. Even frocks or
palest tones, however, carry out the
desire for sharp contrast; in fact,
often depend upon the foreign note
to give character to the costume.
On gown of shell pink wolfe, a
girdle Of four-iDeh wide natter blue
betting was singulariy attractive,
while a belt Of sapphire blue on
gown OF salmon pink is not infre-
auentiy seen. Cerse in combination
with violet and purple has long been
a favorite combination Of curiously
foreign shades. Apricot with dark
blue. and again the favorite shade OF
the season. deep pink scarlet, is
combined with most artistic effect
with any number of shades. Most OF
these combinations would at one time
have been looked upon with horror
by the woman of conservative taste
who always insisted upon matching
the straw of her bonnet to the exact
tone of her dress, and considered a
touch Of white at the throat AS more
than enough contrast to "A gown OF
dun gray OF mole color.
The hat is still depended upon to
give character to most gowns, and
this year ribbon is the popular trim
ming for all styles of bonnet, and
In satin and s>riped taffeta and the
fancy velvet ribbons beautiful colors
are to be obtained, which at small
cost make "a delightfully."- smart hat
Especially with all simple styles of
dress ribbon trimmed hats are now in
the majority, which ostrich plumes for
