Charming Colors From Earlier Days
BY MARY MARSHALL.

weren't-but at any rate the early
Victorian shades are iovely-apple
green. primrose yellow, bottle.green
puce and magenta. The petunia, mul.
berry and wine shades, which we like
so much at present, were, in fact
just as popular when Victoria was
young.
Some of the cleverest color schemes
at present are those that combine
three different colors or three shades
of the same color. Poiret has used
three shades Of blue, ranging from
dark navy, in some Of his newest
things. One frock Of his shows a
clever combination of four colors-
black, cream, powder blue and rose
pink
Suzanne Lenglen has a sports frock
that combines white for the body of
the frock with landings of rose and
tete de negre. An interesting French
sports costume shows a combina ton
of apricot and green.
Long chapters have been written
on the subject of harmonious com.
bining Of color and as many chap
ters that try to tell women how to
choose becoming colors. One such
essay attempts to give chart by
which you may be able to tell just
what colors and shades may be com
bined well with certain others. The
proof of the pudding is in the eat
ing, so far as colors are concerned,
and a good eye for color is worth
more than all the books ever written
on the subject. According to all the
rules ever written, wine red may
be unbecoming to woman with just
your coloring-yet when you wear it
1t may prove to be most becoming.

Helen Crane, for she had no acquaint

Fatigue was felt by Helen because
she didn't know how to walk-she was

There's no reason why she shouldn't
have a normal, happy time, like most
girls Of her age. But. somehow. the
boys who come to see her. bore her

silence while they make Polite con-

She spends most Of her evenings
wishing that the nice boys who call
on her to take her out would leave

and absurd actions.
