of the majority OF women toward
dress. Color. we should say is the
most conspicuous feature OF this sea-
sons styles. And such colors-dark
rich green. midnight blue correctly
named). lavenders, puppies, rose, and
the whole range OF browns and cop
per tones. Many OF the silks and
dress fabrics seem TO have been
brushed with gray, softening the un-
derlying colors and making them in
finitely becoming In the suits and
dresses. the half-tones prevail, even
for evening wear. but in dressy wraps.
and the sports coats now frankly
adopted by the younger generation
for almost every occasion, vivid col
ors are OF not infrequent occurrence.
We have noted recently a number Of
evening wraps made OF plain-colored
velour in orange, green. bright blue
and purple. These are not trimmed
I'm any way. and are made high OF
neck. long Of sleeve and Of sufficient
length to cover the entire gown with
the possible exception of the train,
thus obviating any clash Of color be-
tween the costume and the bright
hued coat.
One OF the most artistic color
schemes which we have seen this sea-
son appeared in the gown represented
in the first Illustration. The costume
was Of blue silk faille, with conven-
tional floral design In the new brick
red. The upper waist section was OF
navy blue, the vest of Venetian lace,
and the glrdle of plain brick-red
oharmeuse The skirt was a three
TERED affair, with a plain panel at the
front 10 give height to the figures.
A very great quantity Of Veniso lace
is being used. particularly in the heav-
! Ter qualities. II is seldom white, but
rather of the mellow tone of old
ivory II combines most effectively
with the rich pile and brocaded ia
brics now the acknowledged vogue,
and of those there seems TO be no end.
Duvetynes, pluche de loine, broche
laine. peau de peche. chiffon, Velvet,
duvet "a new tufted plush, bayadere
velour. suede and charmeuse broad
cloth are among the most favored
varieties.
The tunic Of brocade. over a foun-
dalton garment Of plain material. re-
peating one of the colors in the
brocade. is very often seen. This idea
is expressed in our second illustra-
ton. which shows a gown OF wool
charmeuse in Russian green, over
which is worn a tunic of greenland
gold brocade The caught-up effect
at the center-front Of the skirt and
the pretty pointed collar contribute
much 10 the grace and becomingness
Of the costume.
Wool charmeuse is another material
for which there is a great call. II has
the luster and beautiful draping quail
tiles Of the silk material Of the same
name combined with the durability Of
cheviot.
Furs are used for everything. evei

is being revived for all purposes. 4
