NEW NAMES FOR OLD COLORS

Shades, However, Are to Remain Just as Pretty as They Have Always Been. • Each spring brings with it a set of colors that are peculiarly its own, and these colors are given distinctive names of their own even though the colors themselves be as old as the hills. This sprlngwfehavegot.aset of really new and uncommon shades of color which are respectively known as sauterne, poilu, delysia and penguin. Sauterne comprises three gradations of mole color, from real mole to beige; poilu is a fascinating blue, very soft and, as the name indicates, a real soldier’s blue; delysia is a warm rose, and penguin a delicate gray with a hint of brown in it. Each can be had in at least three nuances of its own color, and all the shades are distinctly pretty and becoming. Blouses any pretensions to being fashionable are.no longer tucked under the skirt-waist. The new blouses are all worn outside the skirt and loosely girdled, and are of the basqued variety. Smocking is a favorite adornment for them, and splashes of gorgeous Japanese and Chinese embroidery on somber materials give them a rich and gay effect. A fascinating evening blouse of the basqued kind which was seen the other day was made in peach colored Liberty satin* The hem was about three inches wide and hemstitched, and the blouse, which waS plaited from a yoke, buttoned down the front/ Another, of black jersey silk, had) bright patches of multi-colored Japanese embroidery, run with gold thread splashed over it, and was gjrdled with a thick silken rope ending in large tassels.
