Passing Os Pastels Is Noted

KKW YORK, June —<U.R>—it wan quite conspicuous that the midLason openings in Paris gave little mention to pastels in the evening shades. L i(le from consideration of off-whites that make ivory tints most significant, Lost of the color attention is directed toward shades of greater Intensity L the light ones in the recent picture. These colors aie not necessarily sober, since reds are very prominent, L,t only for evening but for daytime. The evening shades are the gay ones'

I Take tlie blue range “ 8 CX ‘ Lmnle against the light tones of f season when aquamarine and A blue were typical. For next seathere is repeated mention of u ues that border on navy and royal, ,itli a hyacinth blue representing the lp range. This hyacinth is signifiint of a leaning toward violet tones, nd there is reference to a dark blue L evening that has a purplish tinge. Another indication of favor toward non pastels is seen in another effort to adopt brown a/ a shade for evening—tarrying on the vogue introduced py Molyneaux last year of translating evening fashions into daytime colors. With the promotion that has been given brown this spring and summer as past of the sunburn complexion fashion program, the chances for a more favorabe attitude toward t be evening browns are optimistic. It is noticeable that darker evening dresses are being seen at smart places this spring. A preference for dark green chiffons is illustrative of this rather curious trend. Mention of darker reds is frequent in reports of foreign fashions.
