CONTRAST BY WORD
OF SUMMER MODES

reccded into the limbo OF time. The
new c0lorE are frank, sometimes bold,
but they nevertheless are a tremend-
our relief from the somewhat fu-
nereal impression that one gathered
even as recently as last season wher-
ever smart women we're together.
Color contrasts are not limited Ia
accessories either. but are to be
found in every type Of dress. from
the informal to the most formal
Their possibilities are almost infin-
tie. yet great are must be taken
not to achieve anything that borders
on the bizarre.
Some Popular Combinations.
A brown dress topped BY a short,
straight coat. or by a longer one In
billiard green. or by N basqucd
orange affair. Is considered smart,
"A white linen blouse and coat lin
ing to a flag blue suit introduces the
color contrast very effectively too.
Black and white, however, still
hold their undisputed sway. prob
ably because they always look right.
But the usual touch OF white has
grown this summer to equal pro-
portions with black, and cOEtrives 10
look entirely new. The while coat,
whether in tie guise Of JACKET with
short. thTee-quarter or long sleeves.
or a diminutiye bolero. is e every
where. Supremacy elegant is the en-
semble composed OF a white dress
worn with a black ~tunic-coat which
allows more than a glimpse 0f the
white. SO far as prints are concern
ed. here too the smartneSS OF black
and white designs always stands cut.
On the other hand, when used
as o contrast TO bright colors, you
win find the note Of white in the
form Of collar and cuffs, usually
pique Or oTgandie. and used In small
quantities. White accessories, though,
are chic when worn with red, blue.

Of bToiderie anglaise or lace. q bag Of
white kid or pigskin. white gaunt-
let gloves and a large or small white
hat TO match the character Of the
dress.
Need Bag 10 Match.
Still on the chapter OF accessories.
Paris has decTeed that brown should
be reserved TO the informal tvpe
Of dress and black 70 that worn after
luncheon. Brown suede fashions
many Of the newest gloves, shoes and
bags for morning wear and black
antelope or velvet suede for after
noon. White suede shoes with black
are another alternative
for the black and white afternoon
ensemble. and in this case d bag 70

An interesting point gathered at
smart functions recently is that

than those seen In the early spring.
excepting the formal after
noon or Earden-pa-ty type Of dress.
Evening dresses remain ankle
and scarcely any trains are
seen. Summer evening wraps are all
short but mid-season collections
indicate that the lrSg evening coat
will replace these Tor the fall. ]
