YELLOW MALINES IN ORDER
Material Extremely Popular Just Now and Bids Fair to Remain In Fashion Some Time. The yellow malines girl promises to be a feature of the world of fashion for the next month at least. Fashion is so fleeting that a longer period of popularity can scarcely be promised her. But surely this much is certain, that the tint of yellow between ecru and corn color, brighter than the first And lighter than the second, is in vogue, and is denoted on costumes by maline net accessories. . For the girl’s hat It is used in ruches and folds. For her neck it spreads butterfly wings in bows and floats over her shoulders in a light scarf for the evening. This tint is used with white to such an extent as to lead to the coining of the phrase, “the summer daisy girl. The tart little bow of stiff malines, yellow of course, twisted about the handle of her parasol with three or four' large white artificial daisies, helps to make her in keeping with this name. A yword more is in order about the scarviss of this flimsy, slimsy material. They are made of the widest goods in the tint to be had, and are cut very long, full two yards and a half, sometimes three yards. The ends are cut straight and left unhemmed, and the scarf is worn over the shoulders or within the cloak in as fluffy a mass as possible, not crushed down. The result la a rather ethereal, wrapped-in-the-clouds effect. Flesh tints are also popular for these scarves, and some other shades are used as well. The dampness of sea nights Is fatal to their loveliness, but for those elsewhere they are wearable and charming.
