PASTEL HUES.
FAVOURITE EVENING TONES. . Pale shades as well as gold and silver are very much to the fore this season for lovely evening gowns, and among the colours most favoured are many shades of blue and pink. Turquoise blue and rather bright pinks have been used' by the fashion designers abroad in combination with othe*r colours, mainly black, white, or navy. Great care must bo used in selecting the right shades to tone, as brighter colours would not bo so effective. Another point to be noticed particularly is that these colours are either extremely becoming and smart, or rather terrible if they do not suit the wearer. They are essentially youthful colours, lovely on debutantes or young matrons, but older women, unless they are the posseesors of white hair and delicate skin, have to be wary of combining them with black or navy. For older wearers, quite bright blues and pinks can be successfully worn if combined with more off .shades, such as grey or beige, preferably in filmy materials. These neutral tones, always popular with the older woman, form a lovely background for the flash of bright colour.
