SPRING "AND SUMMER CLOTHES
In summer there I be less white in woollens and more pale shades of pink, bine, maize, mauve, and grey, also strong, bright col- ours, such as green, red and violet Irish-green, orchid-mauve, maize- yellow are much favoured colours in linens. Spots and stripes are the patterns used for little dresses, whether in linen, woollen, or silk crêpes. Scarves with hats to match are figured in the same way As summer comes flower patterns will be the fashion, little towers on light and dark grounds. Tailored linen and piqué jackets in white, trimmed with pearl buttons, are good style and woollen skirts in navy-blue, black, grey and brown go with them. Some new colour combinations include claret colour with powder-blue and grey-green
