PARIS FASHION NOTES.
[FROM OUR ROBOTAL CORRESPONDENT ISABEL, RAMSAY.J
• Paria, March 1st, The black garb will not rule the fashion world this spring as it has done now for so many seasons. There will, of course, be black worn to some extent; since dressmakers and milliners discover- ad ways and means of making such
gowns and buta restibly smart what" used to be considered the punish- ment garb of the aged or poor, it is never likely to disappear completely from the fashion horizon again. But, ext season

There will be a predom

that have something of purple and magenta in them. A shade called violine, that is a

oi purple and magenta capable of most lovely effects, will be one of the most fashionable olours Pale greens bordering on that sinde known as lettuce, will also be seen great deal. To replace black for those who insist on wearing dark colours, there will be a wholesale revival of tete de negre.
Red will be used to a certain extent for trimming, but for whole dress OT hat effects, geranium and kindred shades will be far more popular.
