ing worn with suits and a dashing
little hat with face veil. With light
gray crepe afternoon frock with pleat-
ed neck frill the mannequin wore a
small undiscovered turban with POM
pom of violets at the front, a bouquet
of violets at the side of the neck frill,
violet gloves and handbag, and black
patent leather shoes.
Another smart color to wear with
gray Is chaudron, if you like the
French, and London tan, If you prefer
the English. Anyway. it is that new
coppery tan that every one is talking
about and calling different names. It
makes striking color combination as
shown in a tan suede suit worn with
gray felt hat and gray scarf, or if your
suit is gray, wear a chaudron felt hat
and make your accessories tan calfskin.
Then you will want a shiny copper
colored flower in your buttonhole, or if
not a flower. then one Of those leather
watch fobs. Something must go In that
lapel huttonhole.
NAVY BLUE is good with gray also,
as was shown by changing the
gray afternoon dress described above.

blue taffeta close turban and interest

Chinese red is. of course, another popu-

ing black for your accessories with
white neckwear and white gardenias
for flowers. With navy you will find
deep carnation red smart contrast.
One Of the models wore dark red
felt hat and scarf with her navy blue
suit, a glorif1ed carnation in her but
tonhole, and matching bag and gloves.
Bright green Is another choice with
navy, and is striking in a big fiat
patent leather bag, navy blue straw
hat, a white tucked and lace-trimmed
blouse and white gloves. In an after
noon dress of rose, navy blue makes
the contrasting note.
When you come to the brown
family there is a glorious riot of
sunny colors including all the yellows
and sulphur shades with carrot par
ticularly stressed, perhaps for the
novelty Of its name. However, carrots
appear in little punches to wear on the
coat lapel. This color is also good
with bright blue. This reminds us
there were little punches of red and
green peppers in one group to wear
with navy or black suits.

FOR the pastels there are delicate
leafy greens and beiges in kid
and doeskin bags and gloves. And for
black, the field flower colors of bright
poppy red, cornfiower blue, yellow
and white are chosen. Black patent
leather brightens up the dull black
frock and white starched ruffles at the
neck make it doubly chic.
In the evenings the accessories take
the form of two and three sprays of
flowers worn around the neck, or
across the front of the square decol-
letage or belt. The small necklace Of
flowers with matching bandeau in
the hair is charming Spring gesture
for those who dance in floating
chiffons.
Taking it all in all, this business
Of watching your colors and matching
up your accessories is quite an in
triguing affair and will provide you
with ways and means of making
several costumes out of one.
