: A. peculiar shade Of orchid,
dashed with pink and dashed
again with lilac, which wen
might have been pilfered from
mountains OF a morning as the
sun climbed the horizon, it Dos
sesses the happy ability to blend
with other shades. Thus Is re-
lieved what otherwise might be
a bit melancholy in its tint.
An evening dress is fashioned
Of georgette in Mountain Haze"
and embroidered with crystals Of
green, blue. rose and gold I'm
pattern of peacock tails. Linked
circles OF garnets go all the way
round the waist.
81 Another dress, yclept Dawn,
shows georgette panels OF this
color, each pointed and floating
over narrow strips Of silver,
quite as if the first rays of the
sun were penetrating dim, deep
shadows Of canyon and valley.
This is quite a fairy thing,
trainless, sleeveless and all but
bodiceIess, but someway nebu-
lous and inclined to unduIate
like elfin mists with every move
ment.
\ a VARIATION OF Mountain
Haze is 'Gcrinth,' deep
ening of the orchid shading to
something between Burgundy and
violet.
1t appears in hats most fire.
quently. and, of course, draws to
itself such trimmings as big, ex-
otto fuschias, pansies, roses.
The hats are beginning to take
on the wide sbrims of summer.
Milan and other soft, loosely
woven straws promise to be more
popular than they have been for
some seasons, and the trimming
runs to wreaths about crowns, or
to punches of flowers massed
high in front.
The effect is all quite ingenu-
ish-a sort Of si1rprisedat.life air,
which should go well with the
simple lines of the ever.present
jacquette.
THAT garment-the jacquette--
has heightened itself so that
now it more often than not falls
straight to the knees. still fasten-
ing itself with a big bow tie at
the left corner of the hem line.
It becomes somewhat tube.like
in such length, since little or no
slack is put into its construction,
and its test of virtue is the
plumb, level and true line Of any
other architecture.
One of these is made Of black
satin and is embroidered solidly
in bright silk with small flower
pots of rose trees, all bursting
intoA pink and red and yellow
blossoms.
The skirt. also of black satin.
is accordion plated.
To tell the truth, embroiderings
are just about omnipresent. and
they have got round to the home
ish type OF work that one associ-
ates with the old-fashioned tidy.
At least, such is called to mind
by an enticing frock, illusion"
a thing of black tulle draped in
panels and vague ends over black
taffeta.
A-down the skirt and bodice
sprays Of American beauty roses
are worked out In green ana the
deep I-love-you red OF those emo
tional blooms.
A BIT of fur. a bit OF chiffon
and bit Of silk fashions one
of the most charming dinner
dresses ever I have seen.
The silk. which is golden brown. =
is the foundation, and Of little I'm
portance. The chiffon drapes It IL
full jaunty skirt.
It also forms u sleeveless.
throatless tunic, helted by = RIB
bon. The hem strikes the hip
line, and Is finished with wide,
band Of brown fox, which flares On
the soft chiffon and sets up the
switching beauty Of contrast BE-
tween its heavy. substantial self
and the negligible fabric. -

A DISPLAY of new lingerie
IA looks as II a Louis the Some
thing or other drawing room had
been transformed into q set Of
feminine undies.
1t Is a saccharine shade OF sky
blue crepe, trimmed with small
knots of silk embroidered pink
roses and gold .colored Chantilly.
The lace, on the night robe. for
example, Is coaxed into a bertha,
front and sides, that drops away
