bodied In unusual color combina-
tions this spring.

gives much individuality to hats,
ensemble suits, and even to the
severe sports Gress. At Madame

] is using a wide border of contrast
ing color on afternoon dresses of
crepe satin. A white satin tunic
dress is very striking, with a
Chinese red underskirt and bright
red embroidery on the waist.
Another. in black CT epe, is en-
broidered in red, green, and vel
low circles and has wide front
belt of leather c1cverly embroid-
cred in the same pattern.
Poiret, who stands for all that
is chic and eccentric in French
fashions. is making sleeves of two
colors. A black crepe has one red
sleeve and the other in blue; and
a charming rose Lac one sleeve in
the same shade and the other of
soft green almond. Loosely fall
ing sleeves are Tired with color.
Some have gauntlet cuffs, either
in material or lingerie.
Navy blue and royal blue are
used by several fashionable cou-
turiers for elaborate afternoon
toilettes and also for the redingote
coat-dress. Fuchsia and navy blue
is another favorite combination,
while beige and boise de rose, a
very pale shade, give a feminine
touch to tailored costumes of
kasha or English woolen materials.
Chinese blue and jade green make
one of the StraRgest and newest
bicolor combinations OF the spring.
Black and white are being pushed
to the fore by several designers.
Sometimes black satin and white
serges are used, although black
surah, or black cire, with white
georgette, is equally smart.
