Beautiful Colors Mark New Season

If this most important and colorful season might be described with one word, “Rainbow” would tel! the story. The rainbow idea la everywhere expressed in the most intriguing and interesting display of color, beautiful, harmonious and artistic, observes a fashion writer in the New York Times. There is a subtle appeal to the senses and to the imagination in the symphonies of color shown in the new styles, many of which appear to have been designed to demonstrate the possibilities in color tones and combinations. The drab shades that were fashionable a few years ago have been relegated to the limbo of things of the Stone age and are no more seen in women’s dress. The violent colors and harsh contrasts of late seasons have softened and faded before the gentler loveliness ofethe latest waves of colof. These appear in fabrics of the finest and most elusive texture; silks of the most silvery sheen; crepes, chiffons, georgettes and tissues. It is the inspiration of beautiful color* that has de: termined the season's modes. The latest models in two opposite types of dress successfully are established in soft subtle materials and clever combinations of color. They are the evening gowns in the modes for spring and summer, and the more intimate garments for intedor wear —the tea gowns and negligees. Obviously, to be smart, to wear the gowns that are proclaimed the last word In style, one need not be unlovely, for the new designs and the entrancing colors ti which they are presented Intrigue the fancy of every woman and show her at her best. Many Colors in Limelight. No one color is especially fashionable, for many are equally good this season. Not any one artist appears to have specialized, unless it be MolyI aeux, whose fondness for black and | white and white and black narrows his color schemes to a few shades. There are charming things In gentle beige. maize, corn silk, desert sand, hazel, citron and some grays, the yellow and pink grays aad oyster. Yellow runs the length of the garden and far afield In orange, tangerine, marigold, buttercup, canary, lemoa. sulphur. Reds are fewer, though there are canna, flame, scarlet and coral — particularly the last, which Is a raging favorite for evening gowns. The shades of rose and the blues and greens suggest every poetic idea in nature, and seem quite fai|ylike as they are done in filmy things. The latest models In these summery evening gowns are of three different designs, all of them modish. There is still the tubular frock, which is used even when the sheerest materials are Introduced. Paradoxical as it may appear to make a dress of chiffon without a plait or wrinkle from end to end. gowns of this tube-ilke silhouette are made by some of the lending artists in i the softest stuffs. Cheruit and Doeulllet being among those who have the courage of their convictions. A Cheruit gown of this type, however, has always a smashing bit of color ajd decoration in the form of flowers or i feathers wide around lhe bottom of the skirt. The extreme contrast of this sort of dress is the frou-frou, the frock that gives such an airy, billowing effect with flounce upon flounce, skirt * upon skirt of toile. These fantasies In sweetest shades of rose, yellow, green or white are al! , the rage for danchig. ano a smartlyI dressed young woman will have several of the same type, hi different colors, to carry her well along into the season when no one •’iin prophesy what whim of fashion will draw some ' other style into the spotlight. A-aother gown, distinctly different in

Fashion Calls for Ruffles of Lace

The most original fashion presented this year is that of alternating colors. In gowns made of lace or trimmed with ' lace, ruffles of lace dyed it* different colors are used to form the skirt, and In a model received from a prominent house at Paris these ruffles are sewn lin regular rows upon the entire frock . from neck to he«L One of the most chic designs seen ' : this season has alternating rows of fine plaited lace to trim a oje-plece ; j champagne-colored crepe demi-toilette. : In this color scheme three colors are , used: Champagne, resda green and Havana brown. In another particularly snappy little frock of black and white printed chifj ton, narrow, black-crepe bias ruffles, ' piped with scarlet, were appliqued i from the hem to a pohit above the knees, across the shoulders of the bodice and finishing the sleeves at the elbow. j One sumptuous, gorgeous item wnong all these beautiful material signs <>f spring in fashions is the ostrich feather. The feather boas are I not the wriggling unpleasantly serpen-

Simplicity of Linei for Red-Haired Women

Simplicity of lines and richness of ; fabric will be found most becoming for the red-haired woman. She is supreme tn white. Ail the pastel shades, light green, orchid. French blue, lavender—except yellow—are effective tn bringing ont the delicate tints of her | skin, and playing up to her hair. Black may be worn with distinction, but will add several years to her age. For day | wear, all shades of brown, especially . russet tints, most of the blues, and olIve or almond tones of green. The red-haired beauty must be very careful about the jewel# which she . uses. Pearls are particularly success- • ful. Blue gems she may use. and jade , with discretion, but corals never. White Fox and Blue Coat ▲ cape of unusual charm Is made of heavy crepe Roman in a beautiful shade of powder blue. The coat has a shore tape of the silk that Sts the shoulders quite snugly and falls without any fulness to a tittle below the

this Nass, Is that widen Is a sort of compromise, a graceful, conservative little get-up that Impresses one at once as being a lady's dress. It is feminine, soft clinging to the figure, yet rippling about the feet —a model that Vionnet more than any other designer has promoted. This long skirt drapery has the appearaace of several layers of chiffon or chlffoa cloth (the material in which this deslga Is most successfully developed), each one of which Is cut on a bias of the goods and then stretched to bang with a frilly edge. Countless pretty frocks like this are to be had at a price that places a French model within the reach of the modest purse. With this model Is Invariably Introduced a flower garniture. The present fad is for a sort of plastrcra or set piece to hold the girdle gathered to the front But many beautiful garlands, sprays, motifs and other decorative floral trimmings are effectively added to these all-chiffon gowns, on which no other ornament Ls used. This floral high-light or finish to a frock Is so exquisitely 'done iu some Jiffi Wl. wf A, ■ U r --f W—r < WlfW wRR . wv.

Certainly the beautiful samples now nsed on evening gowns are almost prohibitive and constitute the most costly item of the toilette.

Hence the l diplomatic cencesslon oa the part of some eminently successful modistes In 1 Paris who have estahlislted a prece- ‘ dent with a slim yet bouffant gown. Lanvin has done this to perfection i in a model that may be taken as typical. It Is a frock of coral chiffon cloth. The hodice is plain aad cut in V-shape, back, front and under the sleeveless arm.

Frocks of Flannel As exiwnents of the vogue of slm ptlrity Jew models are more attractive than frocks of flannel made on straight •dernier lines and given individuality by cunningly introduced bits of color, by rows of tiny buttons or by scattered motifs of embroidery done in peasant stitch. Use the Scissors When cutting up jelly squares use a pair of perfectly clean scissors that have been dipped in cold water. The jelly can be cwt into much smaller pieces than when a knife is used and dissolves quicker. Cream and Black Lace Another fashion note Is the use of cream and Mack lace In alternate bands forming an entire frock. j,

SEMI-SPORTS FOR SUMMER; ■ TAILORED HATS THE VOGUE

IN SUITS and day dresses, coats and millinery for summer wear, we find a flavor of sports styles everywhere present There Is a middle ground between the tailored mode and real sports wear, which fashion takes to most kindly—and the designers of clothes for outdooring govern themselves accordingly. They are turning out what have been best described as “semi-sports styles” which prove to be so adaptable and accommodating that one may wear them almost anywhere. A suit and a street dress as shown tn the picture (both made of flannel), reveal the assertiveness and the re-

; serve that combine to make semisports styles. The suit Is as simple as possible, a plain straight coat In company with a plain straight skirt, which would certainly be commonplace if each garment were not bordered with bands In contrasting and fascinatj Ing colors. There are many color combinations offered in suits like this, . with tan. brown and all kindred tones, gray and beige, presenting themselves as backgrounds for bands in the season's higher colors. With a suit of this kind one may elect to wear either a sports or a street hat, and footwear which also will emphasize the tailored or the sports aspect of the costume. Striped flannels seem to belong to sports dress and it is not so easy to I

The stralghUine dress pictured appropriates a tailored decoration. in the long row ot buttons from neck to hem and in the dainty batiste collar and cuffs, worn with it Shoes, hat and strand of beads, all proclaim Its intention of doing service as a street dress.

Belgian Handwork for Lingerie The girl who likes to make her own lingerie will revel in the lengths of hand-embroidered batiste that are on sale. The designs are carried out in the exquisitely fine Belgian work that launders so beautifully. The batistf comes in all the paste! shades. Directoire Again There seems to be a determined effort to introduce directoire gowns with very short waists and tiny puff sleeves. These dresses are developed in taffS-

of ten discriminating women: “You may have but one bat this season.” it goes almost without saying that nine tailored hats would be very carefully chosen by their prospective wearers. For the tailored hat may be designed to be quite versatile and is a necessity with the tailored suit, so every woman must have one. But there are tailored hats and tailored hats, some of them very trim and businesslike, and others not at ait severe, but showing a disposition to be a little frivolous. One kind is as becoming as the other, but the strictly tailored hat is not as adaptable as its more easy-going sister. The matter of

beciimingness is the most important thing one has to consider ip selecting a tailored hat. If precision of line and absence of warm color make the st>verely tailored type less becoming than others, one is warranted in passing it up. A very becoming model in the ’ group pictured, with black mllan brim and crepe crown, reveals one interpretation of the tricorn —dear to the hearts of those who make tailored hats. A bit of silver ribbon and two little ostrich feather pin wheels, contribute a smart trim to it. It belongs to the tailored suit.
