of the brunette and slender
or the blonde and plump type and so
impossible on some other woman OF
precisely the same type? Careless
observers realize that this is so, and
take nc further interest in the mat
ter. But the artist, in fact or feeling
for many mind artist cannot
draw a straight line-knows at a
glance that the fault lies in the color
scheme.
Blue and Green Powered Foulard.
A natural feeling for colors and
their blendings is expressed by those
women in New York society who do
rot have an unlimited amount OF
money to spend upon their ward
robes. One of these is the Titan
haired wife of a rising artist. A re-
cent achievement of her dresSmaker,
perhaps working under the advice OF
the artist husband, is the costume
which she wore to the races.
With skirt and sleeves in flow
cred blue and green satin foulard
was satin tunic in blue of precisely
the shade which blends with foliage
color. Blue cordings, lacing the
sides OF the tunic from under the
arms to below the hips, showed
strongly above the green of the fou-
lard. Absolutely simple, this cos
tune. Yet, as keen observer re-
marked: For a person whose fea-
lures are distinctly irregular, she's
the best looking woman who goes
about in society"
Clover Pink with Aquamarine Blue.
Clover-a very lovely shade of
pink-is not in general use simply
because some women who know the
effect of different artificial lights on
pinks are afraid to use it. Others
distrust their ability to blend it hap
PLY with some other tone. 1t took
Darlington firm conviction-to COM
bine clover pink and aquamarine
blue in a chiffon afternoon costume
which was first worn at the Flower
Show at Southampton.
The skirt, full gathered into its
waistband, was caught in about the
knees in a vague and clever style
which disguised the hip lines. Yet
it was not draped. The bodice, start
ing in gathers from the lower half
of the arm-eyes and crossing several
inches above a narrow frill-hnishcd
edge formed a square decolletage
like that of the eighteenth century
sacque. Frills of even width, cross
ing the shoulders, defined the tops OF
plainly set-in mousquetaire sleeves.
Anyone could have planned so
simple frock, you say. But how
many friends have you who would
have thought of starting a strip of
marine blue broad velvet ribbon
from the right shoulder under clus-
ter of clover pink roses, carrying it
10 the back of the waist line and
then down the skirt and fastening i
below the right knee under a second
bunch of roses? Surely, not manyl
The woman who knows enough Of
art to be afraid of combining colors
also knows that none are so difficult
to blend perfectly as pink and blue
shades, once she gets beyond the ia
miliar Pompador tints.
Blue Chiffon Trimmed with Ostrich
Feather Bandings.
Take an art lesson from che orchid
il you have penchant for blues and
lavenders. No flower is lovelier, and
that its beauty is as much a matter
of coloring as of form you will agree.
Someone who realized this fact must
have designed the evening wrap
which the lady of the clover and blue
combination is wearing this summer
not, however, with the pink frock.
