Nor say that she looks jaded.
New York Feb. 17.-Scientists avow
that white is not a color and yet 1t
is from the White House that most
of our best little season color schemes
have emanated-
We have had Alice Blue (tho 1 hope
she isn't new) and Helen Pink and
then Gait green and now this season
we are to stick to the same primary
hue as the last named color favorite
but be Siven a new shade. And since
there Is feminine appellauon to
colorfully call it we are to be tinted
this Springtime a delicate Shadow
lawn green.
So it seems some of the presidential
notes are color notes after all.
Most everyone will be glad to wei
come green back and as coming
events always cast their Shadowlawns
before so the smart shopwindows are
beginning to put forth green and
flourishing frills and furbelows.
Green Hats-Yes, Really.
1t is such a comfort now to know
isn't it that when you turn green with
envy you will be right in the very lat
est style for all of US are so prone to
do So
Next to Shadowlawn green for pop
u1arity will be the ever verdant emer-
aid hue and all the French models
are Paris Green of course. Then there
is a lovely jade green that will appeal
to the most jaded of sartorial appe-
tites tho when you are all dolled up
in this exquisite shade you mustn't
take it amiss if you excite exclama-
lions of "Oh, isn't she the jade!''
To me green always has tang of
youth and seawater and salad with
a dash of creme de menthe on the side.
1t is always cool and refreshing and
just bit piquant, you know. Sure
~ the ideal color scheme for spring
time and summer.
Inst because we are to have green
clothes doesn't mean that we must
have green judgments and PERSONAL
| ties however. Many bit of Shad-
| owlawn will no doubt cloak purple
/ past and shroud a hectic present this
summer.
Green straw hats are adorable, es-
| pecially when topping Titan tresses
and it is just as easy nowadays to get
the Titan tresses as 1t is to get the
green straw hats. There are plain
| green sailor shapes untrimmed save
| for a self toned ribbon band and a
cunning poke shape model of lettuce
! is piled high with tiny apples, grapes
| cherries and blackberries, like a veri-
table fruit salad. 1t really is a peach
| Everything, Even Slippers, Green.
We are threatened with an epidemic
of pokes this season it seems, whether
;
straw has a crown of massed violets
/ with their stems falling fringe-like
| over the brim. To go with it>is a bag
| of leaf green satin with its lower part
a mass of the violets, their stems
| forming a fringe across the bottom OF
| the bag in imitation of the stem
| fringed chapeau. Another poke whose
crown is of inch wide ribbon, lattice
laced, has an accompanying bag OF
lattice laced inch ribbons. For every
/ bonnet has its bag and every bag its
| bonnet these 1917 days of compile
| ments and compliments.
| Another violet poke dispenses with
| the touch of favorite green and trims
it's massed violet crown with violet
straw faced in old blue silk. One
may get the necessary dash of verdurt
with this all violet hat by wearing
with it a frock of jade. For truly one
of natures most perfect color comb
nations is green and violet and a:
much as we like to go nature one bet
| ter in this respect we can't improve
/ upon her.
Green suits, green sweaters, greer
parasols, green stockings, green slip
pers, green blouses, green hankies ant
green purses of course filled will
greenbacks promise indeed verdan
spring.
Indeed if the mad craze for tn,
wearing of the green goes much fur
Their we may next expect it to affec
our diet. No doubt green tea will sool
take the place of pink tea and greer
turtle soup, green peppers, green peas
| green corn and green gage plum
make up our smartest luncheon AM
/ dinner menus regardless of Galleries
But anyway may our virtues ais
bloom and flourish as long and as eve
/ green our garments
