Brown Is Insistent Color Note NFW YORK, July 3—(U.R)—Brown Is already an old story as reported from Paris but so much brown is being worn there this spring that many people believe it must continue to be good, and some even declare it is fitting into a staple n'ehe and that women are becoming used to it as a basic color to rnmVr* with others, and that this will be reflected in next summer's prints as well as in monotone weaves. Probably the most interesting combination with brow n is that which

Vionnet ‘is using, a warm dark brown similar to tobacco with pale pink. Vionnet has an ensemble in this gamut, consisting of flat crepe dress of pink and a Drown lightweight wool-' en coat, and the coat is split at the sides toward the hem, so that one sees pink not only where the coat is open at the front, but at the sides as well. Another model is a suit with belted collarless jacket, in brown, and a pink blouse with a scarf collar which comes out over the jacket. Both ot these models have been seen several times at smart Paris gatherings, and have been perviously reported from Deauville. Usually, a plain brown felt hat is worn with them, but one reported was accompanied by a brown and pink felt hat in pointed in crustations, and again a medium sized hat of straw in the same soft shade of pink was reported. Worth noting also is that these aio almost the only costumes with which one sees pinky beige stockings worn, and pinky beige gloves. Os course, the great brown combinations are brown with beige, brown with yellow, and brown with chartreuse. These appear in prints and likewise in jacket costumes of lightweight brown woolens with blouses in one of the lighter colors and brown hat that often has a touch of the yellow or chartreuse in its trimming, if the blouse is that color. Brown and white is less seen in Paris than was reported from the resorts in early spring, but it is counted among the smart combinations and expected to be big at the resorts this summer. ■ ~ - MEETING OF PSI IOTA X!
