To Top of Chapeau is
Smartest Way for 1919

Miss Up-to-date grey is from tip of
her toe
To the top OF her lovely dove col
ored chapeau.
Her lingerie also is grey, I've been
told.
Her jewelrys platinum instead of
bright gold.
She really looks destined when thus
greyly dressed
To live In that little grey home in
the West.
| NEW YORK, July Sin spite OF
the gold of July sunshine, these are
grey days and both the outlook and
an occasional fleeing little look-in
are equally ashen-hued.
Grey has long been considered a
demure and trifle sombre color
scheme but there is nothing demure
or somber about the newest silver
toned lingerie of moire Georgette
crepe. 1t is as coquetishly and frivol-
ously worldly as even summer siren
could desire. 1t seems as IL. it Were
fashioned from the fairy cobwebs OF
dreams, or as If some magic fingers
wreaths from poets pipe. laid them
out upon u cutting table and whack-
ee them into ,camisole, combination
and chemises for a perfect thirty-siN.
Plain, save for wee filet or Cluny
edge and the CLEAN of shiny two-toned
satin ribbons in flesh. pale blue,
mauve or corn color, these sheer and
fairy garments rely for main beau
=, II l.
grey moire material In fact they
are almost tailored in their chaste
severity of line The use of the dou-
BILE faced two-toned satin ribbon is
also new note on the new nighties
and everything and is the only form
of two-facedness that has much In its
favor
There is only one derogatory word
to beb dropped anent this lingerie of
grey and that is that some sordid and
nrosaic souls may intimate it's dove-
like tints are acquired only at the ex-
pense of a too long abstinence from
the suds. tubs and rubs of a modern
Madame Fans Gene.
Parisiennes feet have for long time
since been clothed to simulate the lit
tie grey mice of Bobbie Burns imag-
cry only they have a long way to peek
out since the skirts of Paris are still
knee high. Grey silk hosiery and grey
suede pumps and oxfords are now
going strong UP and down Fifth ave-
nue. and in the ways and byways of
our smartest summer resorts.
The grey frock of Georgette or or
candle holds first place among the
smart costumes of the moment and a
quaint model of the dove organdie
has surplice collar of scalloped
white organdie and deep turn back
cuffs of the same in approved Quak-
er or Pilgrim fashion. Many of the
grey gowns show touch of yellow as
a trimming usually In the form of a
sash or crushed girdle of satin or pi-
cot edged ribbon. This combination
Of grey and yellow is a charming one
and is carried out with happy effect
also on hats. The large floppy hats
OF grey milan, tagal or erin, bloom
with buttercups. nasturtiums. lemon
celored dahlias and creamy yellow
tea roses.
Dove grey suede gloves are of course
the latest wrinkle over well tanned
forearms up to meet the short above
tEe-elbow sleeves and there are love,
ly grey suede and soft grey bead bags
relieved with yellow, mauve or pink;
proper perfect grey finish to perfect
floral designs that make just the
proper perfect grey finish to a perfect
little gray lady.
Capes of grey in taffeta. satin or tri-
colette envelope the summer girl in
a soft grey cloud of evenings and par
asols of silver toned taffeta protect
her from the fiery orb of day.
Indeed. though the prospect be grey
this season, it is no less gay and at
the seductive riot of grey lingerie.
frills and fripperies on display the
shades of early Pilgrim maids across
the Styx may well exclaim in aston
ishment. YEA verify, grey was never
like that in our Young lives"
