COLOR TO BE CONSIDERED
Effect of Costume Depends Very
Largely Upon Proper Mixture of
the Various Shades.

During warm weather, when all the
little amenities of the toilette have to
be narrowed down to a certain extent,
the question Of colors is brought for
ward. The problem requires profound
care and attention by the woman
who wishes to be considered among
the well dressed. Black Is unques-
.tionably the best outdoor color for
the red-haired woman. In lieu of black,
very dairy shade of some other color
may be chosen, always provided it is
not red
When brown is selected it should be
a very deep seal brown, and if blue, a
navy is advisable. Crude bright
tones are to be avoided, as they make
a. sharp contrast to the hair instead
of acting as a successful foil. The
fair girl with blue eyes looks her best
in blue or black. Blue deepens the

1t is even more essential than ever
this season that the shoes and stock
ings should match the gown with
which they are worn.
A new parasol of white silk shows

Slipper buckles of colored brilliante,

variety for the colonial slipper.
Although not the case earlier in
the season, foulard frocks, in the

In spite of many rumors to the con.

Carrying 1t Too Far.

Scientific management, like any
other good thing, may be carried to
excess"
The speaker was R. Marriott
Thompson, the San Francisco scienti-
fic management expert. He continued.
says the New York Tribune:
We scientific managers mustn't go
as far as Hustler went.
Hustler was the proprietor of a
tremendous factory where scientific
management had reduced the mo-
lions of every hand from 500 to II.
Hustler attended g very fashionable
wedding one day, a wedding where
the ceremony was performed by a
bishop, assisted by dean and "a
canon, and in the most impressive
part OF the writ Hustler, overcome by
his scientific management ideas, rush
ed up to the altar and pushed the
bishop and canon rudely back
Here, boys he said, ones quito

PLATING COMING BACK
BECOMING FASHION SURELY ON
THE EVE OF RETURN.
Prediction Is That Late Summer and
Fall Styles Will Show Revival of
Graceful Idea of Many
Seasons Ago.

Behold the sun-ray plating again
in the front place of fashion and con-
Vincing in it's softness and graceful
lines, and the countless opportunities
Tor draping one fllmy color over anoth-
er and obtaining the rainbow effects
that are always becoming.
Accordion plating is coming with
rush. II Is here in a few advanced
models OF clever makers; but the fash
ion is too beautiful to be ignored and
prediction is here made that the plait-
ed frock is to be feature of late sum-
mer and fall styles.
Can you imagine the grace of chif-
fon pannier edged by a deep band of
embroidery? The fiehu on this same
delectable gown is accordion plated
and the waist defined by wide cir
die of panne velvet Plated ruffles
edge the sleeves and the bottom of
the underskirt
Silk in plain or changeable colors is
plated Tor entire costumes that are
adaptable for little runabout frocks or
for elaborate afternoon gowns Here
is the fullness in decided form in skirt,
sleeves and bodice
Little accordion-plaited jackets Of
soft chiffon and mousseline de sole are
now threatened to replace the coates
OF taffeta that have been such strong
features. Evening wraps and lovely
negligees are showing plating in eth
er entire lengths or as ruffies on the
berthas and sleeves
AS swing of the pendulum of fash
ion in the opposite direction, no fea-
ture of the modes can more clearly
exemplify the vagaries than the plait-
ed dresses that are invading the realm
of dress. But one thing must be re-
membered. Fuliness there is in all the
new frocks, but balloon skirts are not
the type TO which we have resorted
There is still the straight line of the
figure to be adhered to, and it must
be admitted that the designers have
given fullness in the plating without
bulkiness, flowing lines without UGH
ness and change without the usual
shock
