ADOPT COLORING OF BANANA
For Paris Mid-Season That Tint Has
Been Generally Pronounced
the Favorite.

Panama is the chic color of the
Paris ~mid-season, not the tint of the
skin. but Of the fruit inside, not very
different from the also fashionable
tint. A costume of ratine

In addition, a wide neck boa Of the

Another ~favorite color for dress mate

NOVELTIES SEEN IN PARIS
imitation Rose of "OiIcIoth" Is Popu'
lar-Hats of White Taffeta Have
Not Lost Their Vogue.

Among the fashionable accessories
| that Paris is Offering in the shops
are flowers, or rather roses, made OF
and is called oilcloth. 1t is soft and
shining and flexible enough to twist
and turn into well-shaped blossoms.
Each rose has two or three leaves
and the ornament is worn with after
noon GOWNS, and especially with ffOchs
of white taffeta which lap owe from
| the late afternoon hours into theater
and restaurant gowns.
White taffeta has not lost its fash
| ion, but it is not combined with black
| unless one uses a single spot of the
| sombor color. such, for instance, as
this black oilcloth rose.
Hats are made of the material, with
| the rose at the side, and they are adj
! mirable for motoring and voyages by
train and steamer. They fit closely to
| the head, although none of the hats
are as small as they were, for it is
considered quite fashionable to shrw
the hair on the bright side.
One sees coat suits trimmed with
belts or TINS ne" XII Oh OllC4Olu, d.
though patent leather is really better
looking and serves the purpose as
we'll. Natural leather, dressed to be
quite soft, is used for turnover col
lars and cuffs on suits Of khaki col
ored duvetyn.
Another black ornament that is
placed on gowns and hats is q huge
dragon fly Of black tulle with a black
velvet body. This is placed on a
| gown of black or white, and if one
follows the new fashion it is put in
the middle Of the back, at the top of
the belt, or at the point Of decolletage.

Don't Overdo Rhinestones.

A little strass is lovely and light.
ems and ilIumines q gown wonderfully
but it should be used with discretion.
Lace is a safer trimming, especially
in the new tunics and peplums; blonde
lace, for instance, over white satin, or
silver lace with rose moire-could
anything imaginable be more lovely?
And one must not forget fur, narrow
bands of skunk or chinchilla or tulle,
oemure bands of beaver on chiffon
dresses for the very young and lovely
soft feathery bands of marabou edg'
ing trccade and crepe and satin.

Beans Are Cheap Food

Chicago, Dec. 1O.-The lowly bean
was injected into the egg boycott
here today when women leading the
fight were supplied with a chart pre-.
pared by the state food commission
giving a cost comparison of the nu-

foods.
For five cents, says the chart, the
housewife can buy beans containing
as much nutrition as there is in a
dozen eggs. Twenty-Five cents invest
ed in lamb chops or beef will attain
the same object, it is said.
