Compose Theme Rules
the Mode for Spring

Few developments have been more
important or more far reaching In ef-
feet than the compose Idea, which this
season is the dominant theme In fash
ion. BY subtle blending OF two. three.
sometimes even four tones of single
color designers achieve an effect of
harmony unlike anything seen before,
and charmingly distinctive.
At Palm Beach and at the smart re-
sorts of the Riviera the smartest
women are wearing frocks both for
day and evening. which reflect the
vogue for the new tonal effects. Many
of the loveliest evening dresses Of
chiffon shade from the palest to the
deepest tone, while the same idea Is
also carried out In the frocks with
swaying fringes attached in tiers to a
chiffon foundation. Another new note
Is the use Of ribbons In duo or tri-
tone colorings.
One of the most interesting models
to feature ribbon trimming Is OF chif-
fon In the new shade Of madonna blue
that Is so smart, and is trimmed with
grosgrain ribbon in shaded tones OF
blue. The effect is unusually smart
ard distinctive. With this Is worn
close little hat of straw the same
