THE FASHIONS

affect the net fshus. The net is dyed
the color of thedress,or if it is of white,
it is yelled with chiffon the color of
the frock.
Yellow is to be one Of the smart |
tones of spring. Red Of soft dyes will |
, be featured at the southern resorts,
, but after April it will not be popular,
! for the bright sun drives it away. Vel !
low is seductive and soft, above all
the old-gold and bluffs that have been
creeping back to favor the past year.
1t is highly probable that the taffeta
frocks now fashionable and fashion
able in the spring and next summer
will be Old World kike in more than
in cut and draping. Colors fashiona-
BILE in the early Victorian period will
be with us again. Some Of them have
already arrived in the shape of
changeable yellows, blues and cherry.
In millinery although white and
black are adhered to, one sees quite
|
decided likeness for pearl grey COM
bined with old rose and cherry tones.
The shapes that are fashionable in
, yellow are all soft and are intended to
be mashed into the head. They are
small. too A particularly pretty
cream lace around the crown. At the
side is a trimming of coque feathers
rounded at the ends. The clump is
stylish and many of that kind are
seen at present, not really coques, but
smaller and the sort that shake. They
are manufactured, as most of the
. feathers nowadays are.
j., The rich browns and yellows and
!. orange tones of velvety wall flowers
>, are stunning with certain dark furs or
: velvets. And apropos of fur, fox of
one kind or another is first favorite
for the girls street wear-in small
furs, of course; but there are so many
delightful muff and scarf or cravat
sets in which fur is used as trimming
:, rather than as foundation that one
sees fewer entire fur sets worn with
afternoon toilette than were formerly
!, to be expected.
:. Velvet, chiffon, brocade lace, etc.
are fashioned into muffs enormous
but too soft to be bulky or awkward
= and are trimmed with fur. There
: may be a neckpiece to match or per
:, haps there is no neckpiece with the
~ set, but instead hat in the same ma
:, terials used for the muff. The effect
= is better than that of any furs but
handsome ones, and even the girl who
has or might have handsome furs
often prefers the fur-trimmed set fol
certain costumes.
y For afternoon costumes costumes
for visiting, teas, luncheons, ETC., vel

l. the older women and the coat anG
- skirt costume of velvet, simply made

j. furs, is almost uniform in vel

il der a separate coat is quite popular.
