Green is another claimant for FASH
IONS favor and a big future Is prophe-
sled for It, particularly the dark bot
tie and olive shades.
In the new cotton materials for the
coming summer greens are prominent.
II is interesting to notice the exact
ness with which all the shades seen In
silks have been reproduced in cotton
fabrics. There are lovely deep-green
organdies, with shadow printings In
lighter shades OF the same color. OF
course, this treatment is not confined
to green, for the new cottons appear
to have been successfully dyed in
every hue under the sun, but much
more Is made of the green shades this
year than for long time past.
Navy Blue Loses Popularity.
Owing to the marked preference for
the foregoing color blue is less i'm
portant. In fact, there is a minimum
of blue In the new color cards In pro-
portion to the prominence of the above
mentioned colors. 1t will not be easy
for the American woman to depart
from navy blue, which always has
been a favorlte with her. She has
worn 1t so continuously that the navy
blue dress or suit has become almost
national uniform. 1t will be refresh
ing to see a number Of other colors,
for the one great criticism of our
dressing is that there is so little va
riety in 1t. Apparently every woman
chooses the same color and the same
model.
In laces, veilings and pattern wells
the launching Of these new colors Is
very pronounced. Lovely lace pat
tern wells in colors are being used by
the smartest milliners. Manufacturers
are looking forward to big midwin-
ter and early spring season on col
ored wells.
Feathers In Greens and Browns.
Costly feathers. such as paradise
and aigrette and their limitations, are
no longer in black, but must be in one
Of the new dark greens or browns,
Preference is given for these colors in
evening headdresses Of metal fabrics
which show a combination Of them In
the weave. Deep emerald, singly OIL
In combination with metal, is very
popular for evening headdresses.
Prominent milliners are exploiting
glowing red hats. Red shades enter
into practically all embroidered de
signs. Lanvin is making big feature
of black and white and red, and every
where is found the same evidence OF
marked preference for deep reds, rust
color, dark browns and dark greens.
A coat dress or robe manteau BY
Cherult developed in velours de laint
is In the new Platane green. Note the
drapery across the stomach and the
fact that the dress Is entirely OF
panels, one overlapping the other
also that there is a buttOned-on panel
at the right side only, with no balanc
ing panel at the left. -
Robe Manteau Paris Perennial.
The type of dress known as the robe
manteau has become Paris peren
NAL. 1t has proved SO popular that
dressmakers each season present new
types Of this character.
Cheruit has made stunning coal
dresses in. velours de laine. The
model described above is one of hel
best numbers. 1t may be said to look
exactly like coat, except that across
the front the skirt portion drapes
slightly In the new wrinkled stomach
effect and over this falls soft rovers
or flap. thus making a simple anG
clever variation Of the coat dress.
Nine. Jenny also is very successful
with the Srobe manteau. She, too
makes 1t of velours de laine and trims
1t with fur, but keeps somewhat to
the Russian type, though one notes
also the slight Introduction Of the
stomach drapery or wrinkled efrect
about this part of the body.
