GIRLS WILL WEAR THE NEWEST BLUE

"September Morn Blue” is the Raging Color That the Girls Will Wear This Fall. The real rage with the skirts this fall is to be a new blue, to be known as “September Morn Blue.” The descriptive prefix is adopted no doubt because of the flimsy texture of the fabric, through Which the naked eye' can see even plainer than is could through some white goods immodestly adopted during the summer. City stores are exhibiting this new bluest of blues and the dear girls are buying it just because some style maker has issued the edict. It is to be a blue fall, blue for the girls and blue for papa who pays the freight. The new blue is difficult of description. It differs from the Alice blue which Nick Longworth put out of business when he married the white house namesake, and it differs from the Medonna blue that the milliners have been trying to make us think was the •real thing. It is a shade deeper blue than the eyes of Adelaide when Chauncy pressed her ruby lips at the end of chapter 17. It has a bewitching shade that/is calculated to make every girlie just crazy to get it and to make her look like stay-at-home if she don’t. The great trouble with this September Morn blue is that the fad may be all over by the first of October, for it is a fluffy, stuff that will not prove very popular in frosty weather. Papa is apt ,to look with considerable September scorn on this September Morn blue business, but when it comes to doing something foolish in the dress department papa is usually overruled and instead of two little girls in blue the fall of 1913 is quite sure to be noted for its myriads of damsels clad in the bluest blue that ever blew into popularity.
