NEW NAMES FOR OLD COLORS
Shades, However, Are to Remain Just
as Pretty as They Have Al
ways Been.

Each spring brings with 1t set OF
colors that are peculiarly its own, and
these colors are given distinctive
names of their own even though the
cOlors themselves be as old as the
hills. This spring we have got a set
Of really new and uncommon shades
of color which are respectively known
as sauterne, poilu, delysia and penguin.
Sauterne comprises three gradations
of mole color, from real mole to beige;
poilu Is a fascinating blue, very soft
and, as the name indicates, a real SOL
dier's blue; delysia is warm rose,
and penguin delicate gray with a
hint of brown In 1t. Each can be had
in at least three nuances of its own
color, and all the shades are distinctly
pretty and becoming.
Blouses with any pretensions to be-
ing fashionable are no longer tucked
under the skirt-waist. The new blouses
are all worn outside the skirt and
loosely girdled, and are of the basqued
variety. Shocking is favorite adorn-
ment for them, and splashes of gor-
geous japanese and Chinese embroid-
cry on somber materials give them a
rich and gay effect. A fascinating
evening blouse of the basqued kind
which was seen the other day was
made In peach colored Liberty satin.
The hem was about three inches wide
and hemstitched, and the blouse, which
was plated from yoke, buttoned
down the front. Another, Of black
jersey silk, had bright patches of
multi-colored japanese embroidery,
run with gold thread splashed over 1t,
and was girdled with thick silken
rope ending In large tassels.

Bandeau and bodice to match; new
fashion started by French actress is
to complete an evening costume with
headdress of the same material. The
gown is made of rose-coIored satin ruff
files from a deep, pointed cuirass of net
embroidered in gold and coIored crys-
tails. The high bandeau with it's chin
strap, is of the same.
bilities together, map out a rigid sys-
TEN of dress that will exclude fail
ures. If any woman were succesrspl
along that line she would make more
money than powerful captain of in
dustry. But the cry goes out into
the wilderness and no prophet an
swers.
There are dressmakers who take
entire charge Of certain women and
guide them as best they can; there
are earnest friends who are willing to
give advice for nothing and make that
advice as good as human nature per-
mits, but the majority of women, after
trying the dressmaker and the friend,
still come face to face with these fall
ures in clothes, for the purely human
reason that salvation is from within
and not from without.
Must Make Own Endeavors Count.
l do not mean that every woman
is her own best guide. There are
| thousands who are lifted out of the
quagmire of failure by sensible
friends or dressmakers who literally
pull them out by the arms and COM
pei them to wear the things that are
becoming and suitable; but 1t is rare
that these women rise to any emil
hence in the art of dress. The wom-
an who really dresses well, whose
clothes are rarely failures and who
appears suitably dressed on all occa-
sions is the woman who takes her
clothes seriously, maps out her cam
paign of purchasing, puts cotton In
her ears when she hears the sirens
cry and passes on her own way, rising
to whatever heights of dress she can
through her own endeavors.
