KERCHIEFS ALL IN COLORS

Modest White No Longer in Faahtan ( Even for Wear With the Afternoon Costume. New handkerchiefs are a riot of color. White kerchiefs are certainly not on display. The fashionable handkerchiefs to be worn with tailored suits are In solid colors, or the same thing with a quarter-inch hemstitched hem in white. The colors run all the way from a dainty shell pink, palest blue and most delicate lavenders to navy blue, dark brown and crimson. For afternoon wear the colors are not quite so pronounced. There will be the merest threads of color bordering the white handkerchief or the initial will be worked in a color. Again, the background of a white embroidered letter will be of a color woven in with the white, but- there is sure to be a touch of color somewhere. While most of the handkerchiefs are finished with a narrow hemstitched hem, even for formal wear, there are others showing the dainty scallop in.closing a bit of mareira embroidery, also the initial, all carried out in a pretty color. It would seem thei polka dot never goes out of fashion, for one of the new designs shows in the center of the handkerchief In a solid blue, while the wide border is dotted with white. Stripes, cubes and odd colorings may be found by those seeking after the freakish. Borderings in plaids are new and are not at all as loud as one might think. The white centers with wide border of the plaid finished with a very narrow hem of lawn in the predominating color of the plaid are very smart indeed. Those with solid, dark color'centers are nice, too, but they suggest the handkerchief less than do those with the white centers.
