The Favored Pale Tints
Among the prevailing shades worn
by the gorgeous 'first-nighters'" were
pink. blue, and white, with here and
there a stunning black frock, or one
of vivid emerald green. This shade OF
green is an exception to the rule OF
white, or pastel shades, now so mod
ish: there were several entire gowns
in this shade at the opera and the
most striking and artistic costume
noticed at the horse show, some weeks
earlier, was also of this green. 1t IS
wonderfully becoming to woman
with white hair and youthful face.
Black is favored for evening, too, and

The Matter Of Fans and Gloves.
Among the most fascinating access
sories accompanying these attractive
costumes were the fans; these were
not the small, useless fancies of sew
eral seasons past, but large, graceful
fans of ostrich, curled and uncurled.
Many were in white, or the pastel
shades; one especially attractive fan
was Of midnight blue, uncurled
ostrich.
The matter of gloves with the
sleeveless frocks, and all were sleeve
less with one or two exceptions, has
probably been problem with many;
white gloves, coming just above the
elbow, were generally worn; now and
then one noticed pair in pale pink or
deep cream to match the frock; one or
