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

In the mean- time the two shapes which are be- ing worn are the halo hat, with its turned-back brim so shaped as to give to the head the effect of a halo. The second shape is the one which has a brim thrusting for- ward over the brow, narrow sides. and no back. but a "cacheTM comb of ribbon or dowers, sawn flat. This hat has a crown about au lach high. The halo hat has the crown atted to the head and is the more comfortable of the two. The small toques are now made of feathers, dowers, ribbon, and straw," or in a material such as piqué.
