"DECREES THAT WOMEN WILL OBEY

Ten new colour commandmente have just been issue by the diree- tors of British fashions which The modern bedroom is a cheery every smart woman will relent-place. No longer aro snowy lessly aboy this spring.
They have been issued in the spreado, do dear to the housewife of interests of British trade to all twenty years ago, the only correct those concerned in the drapery! business, so that a wastage of materials will be eliminated in articles that have to be prepared for wear in the fine weather.
The main suggestion that runs through this forecast of fashion- able colours fa that beige, the favourite of many sensons, should be supplanted by blue. Those who can wear blue should be pre- pared to do so now-for there is no doubt blues will be the colour craze of the year.

The second command- ment is also for them, for the next nearest thing to beige is "blush- rose," a charming shade of pink,. brighter rather than old rose, suitable for indoor or outdoor wear,
The third new shade is called; "Maris," so called from the col- our of the egg of the thrush, for in the north of England the old English name is still used for this: singing bird. Slim, delicate-look- ing debutantes will enjoy wearing "Mavis" lace at Ascot.
The brunette will favour the new delicate pale yellow, called "Maize."
"Chesnut" is sixth on the list. It is a rich reddish brown for ailks and woollens, wonderful for the wonten with deep brown eyes and red hair,
