ROSE COLOR FIRST IN FAVOR

Most Attractive Shade Is Given Preference Over All Others, at the Present Moment, Rose linen is a favorite and rose mull and sweaters in rose and * pink and white embroidery, rose net embroidered in silver, rose girdles and rose garlands are everywhere. And as for millinery, the rosy hats are “all over the place.” Most fascinating to wear with lingerie gowns are rose taffeta Jackets. They are made In a number of beguiling ways. Some are short Eton and others come well below the waist. On the rose-trimmed hats the roses are used in large single ones or wreathß about the crown. A whole crown of them is sometimes used. From the handsome full-blown variety'to the weeniest buds are employed. Even the wild rose, is often pressed flat against the crown in delightful effect. The rosiest of hems of taffeta is used on frocks of chiffon, net or embroidery. Sometimes, too, the only rose the gown may show will be in the hem itself. JThe rose applique trimming used now Is not like the old-fashioned applique. It is far more graceful and has almost the effect of painting. Perhaps the reason that older women may venture into pink these days is because there are so many more with gray hair and pink cheeks. Rose is the first choice in dance frocks, and rose color means anything from deep American beauty to the paleßt pink.
