In the new cotton materials for the
coming summer greens are prominent
It 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
organizes, with shadow printlRgs 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.

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 favorite with her. She has
worn it so continuously that the navy
blue dress or suit has become almost
a national uniform. 1t will be refresh

In laees, 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

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

marked preference for deep reds, rust

Robe Manteau Paris Perennial.
The type of dress known as the robe
manteau has become a Paris peren-
NAL. 1t has proved so popular that
dressmakers each season present new
types of this character.
Cheruit has made stunning coat
dresses in velours de laine, The

best numbers. 1t may be said to look
exactly like a coat, except that across
the front the skirt portion drapes
slightly in the new wrinkled stomach
effect and over this falls a soft rovers.

clever variation of the coat dress.

with the robe manteau. She, too,
makes it of velours de laine and trims
it with fur, but keeps somewhat to
the Russian type though one notes
also the slight Introduction of the
