The coloring OF this Paquin costume
zarTe-on paper; but the dull blues, deep
Indian blue, white and cerise are really
blended with exquisite harmony and
beauty. and the frock Is one that pleases
be worn a smart hat Of navy blue milan
straw with two bows Of cerise and dull
blue taneta, bow being set on either
side Of the crown SO that the ends inter-
lock on top.
The spr.ng silhouette is adorably nat
ural and the average woman of slender
proportions casts shadow like unto
that Of Venus upon a wall-a Venus dis
enough drapery to hide the graceful lines
of shoulder. waist. hip and thigh. No
better example Of this effect could be
given than the dainty Callot Soeurs suit
pictured today. This delectsble suit is
part Of an outfit which will appear on the
Boardwalk and in one Of the hotels at
Atlantic City during Easter week. The
possessor OF the Paquin suit has just
come from the French Riviera and has
several trunks filled with costumes de-
signed by Paris couturiers for Riviera
wear. These creations will undoubtedly
arouse their share of attention, even at
crowded Atlantic City: and as interesting
any costume in the collection is this
graceful little promenade toilet by Cabot.
