Use Of Yellow.

For a long time yellow was hardly
counted in with pale pink and pale
blue as an appropriate color for all
occasions-for use on lingerie and
negligee, for the touch Of pale color on
the lace or chiffon blouse and for the
l~ight-colored blouse itself. Now vel
low is in all its glory. For not only
are yellow ribbons used to lace up all
sorts Of lingerie and yellow roses and
ribbons used on negligees, but yellow
blouses and chiffon and crepe de chine
and linen are much worn. There are
many new and interesting names for
the various popular shades Of yellow.
Probably maize is the best Of the light
