Grey has been a more or less popular colour for some months. but there are indications now that it will shortly become an outstand- ing fashion shade. With the right | tinge of warmth in its compost- tion it can be a very lovely colour. but it varies very much-according to the material in which it is ex-| preseed and Parisian dressmakers urge that if it is to be a completel success, it should, be chosen in some dull-surfaced fabric.
