Since Cubist are has hit the town
A girls complexion rare,
No longer blooms like any rose
Nor yet lilly fair.
The fruits of futuristic hues
Have struck us all agape;
James made up like pumpkin now,
Georgette, a purple grape.
NEW YORK, July 25.-On the very
face of things fashion has decreed a
bit of outer coloring-a little dash of
lavender for a blonde beauty and a
yellow streak for a brunette BELLE
These are the two newest shades for
your face powder and the effect is a
bit weird even when applied by an ar
fist at make up. A dusky damsel with
an ochre countenance even as a blond
with mauve cheeks is bound to be just
a trife startling, but under artificial
light these tones, especially when care
fully applied, make the skin appear
wonderfully transparent. There is al
ways danger, however, of a brunette
looking jaundiced rather than jaunty
Even at the cost of living, skirts are
going higher and higher until now the
very latest for walking and suit skirts
reach no lower than the top of miladys
high shoe, a good seven inches from
~ eli;
cling ardent desires to become upper
cuts, there is every latitude afforded
for timber limbs at the popular turkey
trots and afternoon tango teas.
The clinging skirt is fast losing it's
vogue and the newest thin summer
gowns are showing skirts with ruffles
that stand out arily instead of sneak
ing slimpsily close to the figure A |
three ruffled skirt like the three roofs
on Pagoda is very quaint and ether
ial developed in pleated black net A
lovely organdie of pink rose buds on
ciel blue ground is truly delectable
in one of these three story skirts, and
surplice bodice outlined with a white
net frill and caught at the waist with
soft pink rose.
The new Niniche hat with it's close
bonnet frome over the face, and it's
perky brim jutting jauntily high in
the rear is a fit artistic component for
the airy ruff1ed frocks of summer time
With her usual perversity, fashion has
turned like a tickle jade from the ap-
propriate fuffiness of malines and net
for summer hat trimmings to hot and
heavy velvets Where ephemereal
ruchings of black maline used to top
dainty head now stiff velvet ruch-
ings bristle heavily All velvet crowns
are much in evidence and in hats and
sashes of black velvet ribbon and vel
vet bows and neck bands are met with
at every turn or rather curve Espec-
tally on lingerie gowns is the black
velvet used to advantage. An unusu-
ally striking one is of embroidered net
belted high with black velvet and but
toned from the low throat to the vel
vet banded hem with tiny buttons of
black
"One-two, buckle my shoe; three
four" and maybe more adorn sash
bodices and fasten skirt draperies. In
fact nowadays madame is all buckled
up. Cut steel continues to be the one
best buckle bet with cut jet second and
buckles of brilliants the favorite for
evening wear. Silver buckles ar good
but a trife commonplace and unin-
spring unless their design is most ar
late.
No toilette is quite complete these
days without it's strand of pearls or
white coral hanging well below the
,ust line. Pink coral, amber and lapis
azuli beads are also popular although
he string of Cleopatra's favorite tipple
re the most exquisitely chic, nesting
n the soft net frills and glowing
he elaborate satin bows on the frank.
