| The fuchsia colorings nave not met
with the success that was prophesied
for them. or which one might have ex-
pected considering the wonderful
showing OF fuchsia shades by the
great French dressmakers In the au-
tumn. American dressnakers also ex-
plotted wraps, dresses and hats In all
the violets, blues and pinks Of the
fuchsia blossom. but the American
woman did not show much enthusiasm
over these shades except to admire
them In an irnpersonal way. Perhaps
their too frequent appearance kept
women from buying clothes In any of
these hues, for nobody wants to In

with the capelet and lower portion or
skirt of the coat of fur and the sleeves
and the waist portion of velvet.
