several thousand women, and
their results are included in the

Coat census day was pretty
cold in many of the censuS-tak-

women counted were still
wrapped up in their favorite

But thousands were wearing

these had shawl collars of fur,

to these shawls that it prom
ises to be the favorite coat for
the rest of the season.
Next in the list of new coat
fashions was the coat with
scarf collar. Some of these
scarfs were of fabric like the
coat. Some we're of soft, flat
furs. And many of these fur
scarfs were entirely separate
from the coat or just tackled
on, ready to be replaced by silk
scarfs in warmer weather.
If you had been watching
these thousands of women, you
would have agreed with the
census takers in thinking, How
individual these women are in
the way they fasten these scarf
collars!"
Some Of them wore them in
tailored Ascot fashion. Some
knotted the scarf jauntily at
one side. Some affected a care

one end over the shoulder.
Some tied them in a dashing

WASHINGTON
FASHIONS
BY WILMA LA VILE

The French Colonial Exposi-
tion in Paris only opened May
6, but it has already had a
marked influence on fashions.
Even before it's opening the
millinery designers adapted the
head dress Of the French Colo
mails and achieved the remark
able little skull caps that we
are now wearing. Early in the
spring Algerian colors appeared
and now it's chiefly in these
co1ors that we find the influ-
ence most pronounced.
COlOrs are Gay
These colors that we have
taken from the exposition are
usually considered fall colors,
but they seem just as smart
for spring and summer. Brown
is the most used, in every shade
from mahogany to copper.
Orange and yellow, are also IA
vorites and rich, warm shades
Of red, blue, green and purple
appear as accent colorS. Their
widespread use now means that
they will be even more popular
in the fall when they come into
their own season. They are
used Singly but most often IN
combinations and the effects
achieved are exceedingly gay
and smart looking.
Brown q FavOrite
Brown is a good summer
color because it goes with so
many other colors that we are
using this season. 1t Is most
popular right now combined
with white, but it is equally
good with pink, blue, orange or
yellow. Many women are buy
ing a brown jacket to wear
with frocks in all these colors
and they find it is an inexpen-
Sive way to assemble a COM
plete and effective wardrobe.
If you want any help in as
Sembling your summer wardrobe
or more information about
cOlOrO or fashions, write Miss
LaviIle, inclOSing q self ad-
dressed, stamped envelope, or

Carries French Fan
Instead of flowers, Lady Leslie
carried a small French fan that
had belonged to her great
grandmother, who was a French
Huguenot, and her ornaments
we're pearls, diamonds and aqua
marines, with a spray diamond
tiara.
Sir Bradford and Lady Leslie,
who reside at 81 South ST.,
Park Lane. West London, were
among those present at the
private view of the Royal Acad-
erny and at the first night Of
the opera, with which the Lon
don season is opened.
