' WONDER If the present tendency for the brilliant Things and the more or less sombre garb of to-day can be taken as forecast of brighter times in the future So many of our street costumes to-day are of grays, drabs and more often black. But open coat. turn back drapery, or lift a founce and you will find yourself faced with the most brilliant of "silver" Things that has ever glad dened the eye.
 In outer dress the most attractive eff fleets can be got with just black and white, and it is only a question of balance of these two colors that makes them more or less startling.
 l give you this week really interesting costume with a coat in black and white. The skirt is a striped effect and reminds one of the zebra more than anything else l can think of for the moment, so curious are the irregular lines caused by the pleating and draping of the skirt which, you will see, is amply full at the feet. The coat is of white and lined with the same material of black and white stripes which also borders a little muslin blouse with frilled neck and cuffs A little black and white bonnet is worn with this, and the last note is again repeated in the shoes and gloves, which are white with black markings.
 Another coat and skirt, this time of gray gabardine, is faced and bloused with this striking black and white effect. The skirt in this case is composed of four enormous box pleats that are brought into a close-ftting yoke at the top. The coat is fared with a broad cuff and large collar, all of the palest gray gabardine and depending entirely on the black and white lowered silk for its decoration. This silk is to be found in the lining of the box pleats, the facing of the coat and the blouse, which is strapped with the same gabardine as the suit itself.
 Another is a natural pongee costume which to all intents is plain in color from the head down, so long as the coat remains closed, but, hey, presto! the coat is open, one sees radiant lining of orange, black

and mauve, while the dress from below the waist up is composed of orange chiffon, piped and buttoned with black and white A little black hat with an orange quill completes the scheme.
 For the last have a violet coat of faced cloth worn over printed chiffon gown of the softest gray blue, with pipings of gray. The front is open to the knees, showing petticoat of Swiss embroidery. A double TOW of buttons and the belt are of black and white to match the lining and the little vest worn inside the front of the coat. A black hat trimmed with gardenias is worn with this.
 The zebra effects are produced easily by

the colors this season in vogue Black and white combine to form them. Blue and white appear in them, and the regal looking purple, combined with silver-col ored stripes that look white in all but the revealing sunshine. Contrast seems to be the keynote of the Spring costume.
 This taste has psychological source In time of war we think of war, and our thoughts take on it's character They are bold. definite, clear cut in outline. Our thoughts are great, crashing chords Ap-
