STER DASH OF VIVID
COIORS rs LACKING

One noticed in the moving throngs
mat there was not the vivid dash OF
color seen on other Easter days. Per-
haps 1T was because of the sad world
war and the note of anguish in both the
hcmiSphcres that the prevailing tint
was tan, and that the flowers which
adorned milady's corsage were sweet
peas and sad-lookinE violets. Though
tan is the chief color which fashion has
dictated shall he worn, there were many
who wore the battlcship gray, a color
that lends itself to the stress of the
day. There was no other military touch.
though OH the other side of the At
lantic the women arc wearing helmct cd
hornets and dresses Of military cut.
There they hear and talk of nothing
but war, so il goes without saying that
the women wear that which is an out
ward semblancc Of their inner feelings.
Here there is perennial talk Of peace,
and tan is n neutral color
Though yesterday the weather was
clear and the sun shonc brightly over
head. thcro was a keen buster in the
air, and most of the women who jour
ncyed forth on the long parade wore
their winter furs, lending Il touch of
incorGruity to the general scheme.
Others hraved the day by leaving their
furs behind, and by wearing their straw
spring bonnets.

SOME NEW STYLES
NOTICED IN PARADE

| The society reporter says that the
bonnets are small and are TO be worn
slightly tilted over the left ear, while
| the skirts are full and the shoulders
narrow, which gives that effect OF
sNcltcness which is now SO greatly de-
sired and demanded And 1t was no.
ticeable that the skirts were fuller
than on last Easter. when milady WAS
so tightly clothed that she had diff
Guilty in walking, and found it an al
most insupcrable task to board n street
car. Now she may walk with agile
stride and have more freedom in her
movements
For a man. to whom fashions are as
vague and indefinite as woman herself
il would he hard to describe the pa
rade. But the crowds were smaller
than in other years. on account of the
weather, and II is estimated that not
more than 5000 men and women par
ticipatcd In the great parade, whereas.
In other times, there have been 10000
and $4,000 people strung out in line
from one end of the city to the other.
IL was too cold yesterday forenoon,
ana the paradcrS were glad when the
lunch hour came and they could get
back into clothes better fitted to the
season.
In addition TO the ract that tan and
Eattleship gray were the dominant
color notes, another striking thing. ac-
cording to the society reporter who
knows, is the fact that the waist lines
are very high, which is supposed to add
10 the hppca rance OF height and to
milady's sveltcness. slimness being tie
great thing to be attained in conform
ing to the latest modes The effect of
siinncss Is also heightened by the
cloth-top shoes. which reach well above
the ankle, leaving nothing to be seen
between shoe top and skirt hem cX-
copt when the weather is bad. And
the cloth-top shoes will be worn late
INTO the season, according to those who
know. FullnesS of skirt is counter
balanced by narrowncsS in the should
crs. and further effect is given to slim
lines by the strcamcrs which hang
down from the little bonnets in the
rear. There Is no pyramidal effect as
there was last year, when the skirts
