Blue Stays in Fashion Parade
By Central Press

IT'S AMAZING-the popularity
of blue. Blue usually is a spring
color, but this year it has lasted
through the summer and is a great
pet of autumn.
A pretty little suit that is ideal
for the college and business girl is
shown here in two shades of blue,
and worn by pretty Mary Carlisle,
daughter of Anna @. Nilsson, former
screen favorite. The frock, de-
signed by Edith Head, Hollywood
designer, has a smooth, straight,
short skirt with a softly tailored
bodice. The neckline is softened by
a tied treatment accented with a
monogram in royal blue.
Jacket i'm Royal Blue
A box jacket of royal blue velvet
matches a rollingbrimmed sailor
hat, all very smart for autumn.
Many of the new daytime frocks
have velvet details. Daytime coats,
too. often show velvet encrusta-
tions. Lyons ribbed silk velvet and
velveteen is much used for coat
suits. In daytime dresses there is
much black velvet, also deep brown
and a new grayed green called Ar
mure A second new color is GRIM
son red, and also there is a currant
red.
There also are quantities of vel
vet toques with high bows in the
Paris fashion showings.
