A Mild Example.

There are quieter designs, a very
mild example of a black and white
stripe being softly yelled with a very
thin black chiffon, and trimmed Law
ishly with black charmeuse. The tur-
ban toque which accompanied it fitted
the head like a bonnet, and was tied
at the neck at the back with a small
bow and long ends which foated down
to far below the knees, a wreath Of
tiny red flowers outlined the face,
while the wearer's lips very decidedly
echoed the tone of the red. The effect,
however, of the toilette was rather Di-
quaint. Red and cerise are very much
used in Paris just now, and have
seen some gorgeous effects obtained
therefrom

The Skirt.

The upper part of the skirt to the
knees was also of the striped material,
but going around the figure; the lower
half of the skirt was in the chess
board check, finished around the foot
with black silk fringe. The striped
magyar sleeve only reached half way
between shoulder and elbow, the I'M
Ger sleeve being of the chessboard
check; black tabs buttoned across the
front at intervals from neck to knees;
this was an extremely effective frock,
which attracted much attention.
1t was surmounted with a wonderful
specimen of headgear-a very huge
fiat black crinoline, with a wreath and
choux of tiny white ospreys. Shep-
herds plaid and every other form of
black and white pattern is very mod
ish, the large pattern being very much
worn.

BLACK and White
ACROSS The SEA
Might Be Adapted With Very
Charming Effect

Paris, France, June 26, 1911
The most generally sought after col
or scheme here is black and white,
and most fearful and wonderful effects
are obtained therefrom. For example,
one toilette, which I noted in the
Bots, was a very striking scheme of
black and white stripes, and chess
board pattern.
The bodice was made quite simply
with magyar shQulders-the stripes
going downward, and being about half
an inch wide.

Though Jackson had led a disolute
