Much brown is used for ceremoni-
Gus costumes worn by daylight, and
all this brown is light INC golden, or
olive in tone. with trimmings of fur
and dull gold lace; and with here and
there touches of vivid oriental m

delicate embroideries in self color on
the wrist are worn. Though the hat is
banished with evening dress, except
for restaurant wear the head is usual
