| NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-(C. P)-
The color scheme at the Metropolitan
Opera one night this week would
have warmed the heart of any sea-
faring man. Tones of red and green
were so profuse and by some peculiar
coincidence had so assembled them
selves-red on one side and greens on
the other-that it certainly appeared
to be a safe harbor for one seeking
port.
/ Bright colors are surely triemphing
over the jet beaded effect and sombre
tones of last season. Yellows and
sapphires are seen in profusion as
well as that indescribable shade of
green that looks so we'll under cleo
trio lights
The silhouettes for evening gowns
are faysring the clinging lines, simple
and often free of trimming. Materials
are so exquisite intexture that orna-
mentation would tend to destroy their
charm. At the same time, chiffons,
heavily beaded in beads of the self
tone and clinging by means of their
weight TO the figure, give that supple
slimness that is so desired.
/ Very few jewels are worn by the
society celebrates of the Metropoli-
tans golden horseshoe this year But
one notices that when certain favosS
| ties sing the costuming in the audience
| shows greater attempt at elaborate
ness. Maids of the younger set find
| the bandeaux of gold and silver leaves
becoming to shorn locks and use them
as their sole ornamentation. The
Spanish comb which was predicted TO
be the popular headdress of the sea-
/ son seems to have been discarded and
in it's place, If there is a headress at
all, one sees only the head lbandeau
A few of the matrons. however, cling
to the tira Of diamonds.
There are feather fans in profusion
marching the gowns or the Innings OF
the evening wraps which drape the
seats. These evening wraps. by the
way. are made of gayly colored vel
vets and seem to have replaced the er
mine and chinchilla wraps. Many Of
them are embroidered in pearls II
marvellous designs. Others are heav
lily banded With fur.
Chests and throats are duly protect
ed from drafts, if one may judge from
the cut Of the evening gown. Seer
from the front most of them are roun'
in neck line and are as simple as
child's ferris waist. But backs--wel
backs remain in vogue.
A beautiful evening gown is mad
of silver cloth and has an overskirt o
wide silver lace. The bodice of tn

III Hats are showing tendency towar
brighter colors. Black, the ever pol

rosettes in colors or with tiny clu.

Stores are all showing hats whic
are made especially for the bobbe
headdress. Naturally the bobbed hea
demands much smaller head 81.
than the ordinary head of hair. The
hats are all small and some of thel
brimless, allowing that fascinating Ii
tie fringe Of hair to peep from und'
the back of the hat.
iii Fuschia is one of the latest colo

tn distinction to the outfit.
