Atlantic City, May 81. Il Hand
painted hats, gowns, and handbags
seem to have gathered here the
past few days or so. A stroll down
the Board Walk revealed a huge
periwinkle faille hat, daringly
splashed with painted cosmos in
natural shades of pink, crimson
and white A sports cape of brown
collar of pale tan painted with the
oldest marine scene-boats careen-
ing and waves dashing all about
the wearer's neck And a white
satin handbag was one gorgeous
riot of painted flowers.
Paris, May Eft is interesting
to note how the straight up and down
frock has been replaced by the
frock with side draperies and
consequently softer contour For
slim women, the draperies gathered
up on one side under a plaque of
jewels or flowers is most effective.
The pliable and cleaning materials
so fashionable just now are at
their best under this arrangement.
Except in strictly tailored street
costumes, the side drapery is uni
versal.
! New York. May 27.-The beauti-
full silk lace, dyed in shade to match
the underdress, is more popular
than ever. A gown composed chief
ly of silk lace has an airy effect
particularly we'll suited to summer
time. At the moment there are two
favorites: the dandelion gown and
the periwinkle. Neither of these
colors seems to diminish in popu-
larity. Silk lace is especially love
ly when dyed in the rich yellow
tint or in the soft strong blue.
Negligees are also extensively trim
med with silk lace. in all shades
from faintest gray to scarlet.
New York, May 27.-Everyone
said it couldn't possibly happen. So
ii happened. Which is to say that
sports stockings, already bright as
the sunset, have become even more
vivid. American beauty silk sports
hosiery adds considerably to the
gayety Of ones season. So do hose
of brilliant yellow. of deep shrimp
and of deep geranium. One of the
most alluring styles is that of the
stockings which start out TO be-
striped in various shades, but sud-
denly change to absolute demure-
ness, ending in a quiet color with
out stripe to be seen.
Paris, May 27.-The enthusiasm
for flower decorations of one kind
and another has changed again.
Though the enthusiasm is no less
great than before, the Parisienne
now expresses it in a single bios
som. Gowns of the new summer
fabrics have a single huge rose or
lily or extraordinary plant bios
soming across the front breadth of
the skirts. Sometimes the flower,
rooted somewhere near the hem,
extends on a long stalk slantwise
| across the bodice.
New York, May 27-The day has
gone when middle aged women
feel they nut tick to gray and
mauve and the quieter colors. AS
a matter of fact, middle aged wom-
en- usually look better in bright
shades Realizing this. the shops
are now offering rose and delicate
pink, bright blues and henna. all
intended for the woman who is no
longer young. The only shades she
ought to regard with apprehension
are yellow, though not cream and
green. Even this is by no means a
universal rule.
