NEW COLORS ARE PROMISED

Already Fashion Is Determining What Shade Shall Be Worn During Fall and Winter Months. From the Rodier collection of fabrics for fall and winter wear we find that the colors are quite as important as the fabrics. AH' the pansy shades to the lightest of the violet tones, with all the intermediate shades, including mauve and lavender, will be in demand. These Shades, it is said, are particularly beautiful in the new pile pabrics, especially the new velvet weave known as "panecia.”

Ranging from the deep, rich shade of bordeaux to the old-fashioned wine color are the reds that will brighten the dull winter months for the many who prefer the warm colors. In the new Rodier fabrics that combine both silk and velvet these red hues are particularly successful. From the beginning of the war it was almost impossible to keep enough soldat blue to supply the demand, and it is said that America has had very little of this Boft and beautiful Bhade of blue. Every tone that bore the slightest resemblance to the soldiers’ uniform was so much in demand that there is little reason to doubt that it will be a most popular color for winder. In panecia this shade is charming. All the varying shades of marine and soldier blue will be obtained in the new fabrics. There are many browns, with a new one in the market that will be sure to be desired. It Is a light brown resembling, it is said, the color of hazelnuts. The novelties in oolor combination* include stripes of two colors, with

black and white, the always popular combination, black and sulphur, chartreuse and blue, marine and black in many interesting new weaves. The staple navy blue we have with us always, and with the addition of soldat blue as trimming it is expected that it will take on an added following.— Philadelphia Ledger.
