The cubists and futurists are begin !
ming to influence fashions. Any move |
ment nowadays, in fact, that does not
affect fashions, does not count for |
much. Even the war in the east has |
produced new colors in clothes-Balkan |
blue, Servian red, Roumanian brown |
Greece has played her part |
in giving artistic draperies and grace /
full outlines. AS far as the cubist |
ideas are concerned, the average wo- !
man will have to ''vibrate' up to them, !
and in vibrating she will have her |
own ideas about the advanced sisters |
who talk glibly about the excellence |
Of the new ideas in art and pity the !
ignorance of those who cannot appre- |
ciate them.
The prettiest and most comprehensi- |
BILE thing about cubist fashions is their |
colors. Certainly the blues, greens, |
puppies. lavenders are delightful to be- |
hold and suggest all manner of splend- !,
id combinations for women who are
odd effects for spring and sum-
mer costumes.
The new cubist yellow is going to /
be popular for spring, because it COM
bines so well with the rich dark shades
Of brown. Its nearest competitors
among the colors already known to /
fashion is chartreuse. The tone is live
and transparent which makes it easier
to wear than some of the heavy yell |
lows of uncertain shade.
Skirts of cubist yellow cloth, silk /
and satin are worn with the most de-
ightful little coats imaginable, the !
coates being invariably accompanied
by sashes of the same shade. These
sashes are run through the side seams
Of the coats which are slashed for
the purpose then fastened with stud
led negligence at one side.
The cretonne vests used for tailor
mades are not only chic, but are use
full. They are not only little garments
that help to make a cutaway or open |
Jacket or coatee dainty. but when the
is removed the vest is found
to have half sleeves and to be nothing
more or less than dressy blouse
The vests are in buff or khaki ere
tonne with small half dark flowers,
but the same patterns and dyes are .
found in Xix and satin.
The ruff1e of batiste about the neck
Of the blouse, forming a pretty finish |
for the reverless coatee, is a feature /
Of the springs styles. General the I
blouse or corsage is finished with two
0r three ruff1es of the same or almost
the same width; but having only one
s something newer still and as ev-
