The Duchess of Windsor is res-. ponsible for a new shade of green you're going to meet many a time this reason, girls. It's called Wallis green, and is of a shade resembling pale turquoise. We viewed it for the first time combined with pink to fashion a slim and pretty evening frock, with bolero. Later shipments may see more of this green, but at the moment, it makes its initial bow at Vogue's.
