ODD NAMES FOR NEW COLORS.

Shades of Popular Fabrica Deal?, nated aa Willow and Seaweed. This season green is assertively in the lead for fabrics to be used for daytime wear and particularly in tailored costumes. Every shade known hereto--fpre and a* 1 few additionalones - are shown and called by names that appropriately designate the exact shade. The newest, says Vogue, are hemlock, willow, chartreuse, seaweed, Verte-de-. Mer, bronze and ivy. Venetian rouge is a deep and rare shade of red with just a tinge of brown, and terracotta has a dusty tone not seen in this color before. It greatly improves it, as does the ashy tone given to the reddish plum color, which is known by the name rhododendron. Chataine is a deep red brown, very becoming to any type, and brun foncee corresponds to seal brown. Moyen gris is a smoke gray. The paler tints for evening wear show a pale chartreuse, a pale sesastri and a pale smyrne. Crepuscul, lilac, bois de rose lichen, a light gray green and tanagra, a light cedar shade are the unusual hues, besides which all the colors known as evening shades are to be found. In these last cravette, which is a hue suggesting shrimp, Is very captivating, and for dinner gowns or theater dresses there is a group, quite distinctive, of colors that remind one of old favorites, but differ by showing a grayer tone or a greener cast, or a note of purple, a difference decided though subtle. Of these tints rose crulee comes in two shades, one very pale, the other medium deep. The Color is on the old rose order and has a soft glow, though toned on gray. Sauterne is a new and exquisite shade of amber, and champignon has a bronze cast, looking like seaweed dripping wet on the beach in the sun. Aeroplane is a smoky blue green, and acier bruni is purplish gray, coming In two shades, and caca is a deep fawn brown. Etna is a smoky brown, ana the new stone grays that are so scart are dingy, green gray. Taupe is the leading shade in plain mesh veils, and those made of a thread in the large, hexagonal style are unusually becoming to the complexion. Another mesh veil, of finer weave, is covered with flat velvety pastilles, square in shape, scattered over the surface at close intervals. It is remarkable how satisfactory one may furnish one’s entire wardrobe ready-made when only a few years ago anything out of certain standard colors had to be furnished by the dressmaker. The completness of the stock of colored separate waists evidences this, it being possible to match any suiting in a variety of fabrics and models. Thus one may keep up to tha modish fad for blouses of the same color as the skirt with little or no trouble. Prominent in the showing of a leading shop are embroidered net waists, the pattern in silk soutache braid. To show this off contrast is given by a white mousseline lining, over which the work stands out clearly."
