ARR MODISHNESS OF THESE COSTUMES

Paris has discarded the sombre black which she has worn for so long she has become a. positive kaleidoscope, with her motto "Any colour so long as it's red. The vivid Japanese red, the new cherry. shade called '"caroubier," and the tomato red, so popular last season, are all seen.

The craze for making the bodice of one material and the skirt of another sweeps on in its interrupted course, while the overskirt, the panel and vestee styles all -lend themselves admirably to this double lived fashion. Our © illustration shows ihe popular crossed fichu made from figured organdy, combined with plain white with cuffs and the skirt border also of the embroidered fabric. A heavy figured moire on a sheer voile gives piquancy to the left hand costume in the sketch. keeps the cover in position and can be slipped cut when the cover' is laundered.
