FORE endour in the homes is the plea of the decorators. Less colour the woman. thon, fa the reply of the French couturiers.
No less an authority than Madame Jenay of Paris begs women to be colour cautious. Since modern art has put so much pigment Info our homes, she insists, the woman in black will be the figure that harmonizes. She will he chie and smart against the colourful back- grounds that prevail everywhere,

Timp was when the average mom had walls of soft cream or grey. Now rooms are done in plak, Spanish yellow; robin's egy blue and apple groen. Certainly, they are charm- iny, and different. But when that same room is filled with women in brilliant and jarring colours, the effect changes from a diretim ol loveliness to a nightmare of horror,
The thoughts of what, might happen are enough to drive a sensitive woman into black or 'white.,,
Ꭴ . course, French women are 'devoted to
black. It suits them, and they wear it marvellously That a because Instinctively the French woman always prefers line to colour or fabric, and no gown ever takes Poke iaceful lines and makes a more nent xil- houette, than the unrelieved black gown.
This season the French woman of fashion Is relieving her all-black contumes with smart. and daring Louches of while. Art Moderne extends to her as well as her home.
And the result is that black and white are mare deftly and beautifully handled thin over before. Not only chic, but also appropriate, to- gether they form the one way to combat ab- solutely and unconditionally, the high colour found in the modern home..
Black, having conquered, inside, white makes its influence felt on the outside. When, for instance, has the white cont made much headway with fashion, except the white ermine wrap for winter? Yet this season, the white fur coat is something to write home for money about.
Coats of white kid, which is far just a little less shaggy, than gouf, and white lamb are very youthful and smart and they may or may not be relieved with collars and cuffs of some suel fur as nutrix, or heaver.
SHOWN at the upper left is a perfectly de-
lightful looking coat of white broädtail, cut on easy box lines with senlloped edges around the collar which extend down the closing to the hemline. The cuffs have also been seal. loped
The fur is handle as casually as though -it were cloth, and the pelt is so closely shaved that the material is scarcely thicker than cloth, For a young woman, these white couts are the last word in' smartness
Extremely novel is the Marcolle Lely black and white scarf and hat set at the left centre. A highly stylized white satin tulip decorates, each article. The scarf is of black crepe de chine, and the bat Is of black panne velvet bound, in white.
Many women might yearn for such a sel, but only a young und beautiful woman should allow the desire to reach the fulfillment of pos-, session, for its bizarre effect can be met only by youth..
Another less trying chapeau, designed by the same modiste, is the white felt hat at the upper right. It is trimmed with the bands of. black and white grosgrain ribbon.. The brim.
is shaped so that it hugs the head on one side and throws a very becoming shadow on the other.
Such a hat would be extremely smart with the white fur coat, and a black and white frock such as the model is wearing.
THE black frock of this season often follows the example of this one, and makes the upper part completely of white.. The sleeves of this model are charming, and practical, too, since the dark part of the sleeve comes where the liability to soil is the greatest Fashion I not always so considerate..
Evening gowns of black or white or both, are always in good standing at smart gather- ings. A woman who wears white well is never more ravishing than in an all white evening gown-chiffon or taffeta for the deflente type, and moire or satin for the more robust.
This year's white dance frock may glitter and shine, to suggest ice and snow and the natural colours of winter. Premet designed the beautiful model at the lower right. It is entirely embroidered with iridescent pearls and finished with a deep fringe.
It hugs the figure closely, and is intended for the perfect figure. Those princess Hnes could never rise to the situation and politely conceal a waistline that was struggling to scem slender,"
For the more mature figure and type, fashiori suggests the Bernard et Cle bended dress of black mousseline, shown in the centre of the page. There are beaded frocks and bended frocks, most of which should be avold: ed. But this has a small design, lovely Hņos, and is in every way what the sale women call n "lady's dress."
Iridescent Pearl Embroidery And Silver Bead Fringe Give Sparkle to This Premet Sheath Dress
