Fur stoles are always worn by
the smartest dressers at the races
and for afternoon driving. No

summer color. 1t Is shown in gowns
and hats in a variety of shades, from
the deepest gold yellow to a pale yell

shops In the Rue de La Paix is made
of yellow organdie embroidered In
old-blue silk.
Shades of pink and lavender are

enough to carry a handkerchief, car
fare and a powder puff. Most are
handsomely mounted on fine silver,
tortoise shell or heavy silk cord.
Blue and black daintily embroidered
in colored silk are most in vogue,
