As recently stated, the most beautiful fabrics and combinations of colours aro being created for both day and evening gowns. Most of the now spring tailor-made costumes have pipings, collars, and reycrs of sonie bright tint in direct contrast'bo trie material of the suit. The inustaTd yellow which* is coming so much inte favour again at present is being used in many cases, and very bright blues and greens are next in popularity. Collars and rovers of satin in these shades are being nrade-to eloth costumes. . A. navy' blue' cloth costume' had both cuffs and collar made of two strips of brilliant -Royal blue 'and apple-green satin arranged side by side. Copies of simple wild flowers, the most homely garden flowers, and irioro ostentatious blooms dyed in almost every ■Aiido of colour, nre also to be largely vorn. Already quantities of small nosegays are being purchased to be worn in the bodice of a ({own, and i-omo of the« 3 littlo knots of flowers are being shown fixed in the buttonhole inado in a. revcr of n tailor-made costume, the flowers matchiii',' the bright colour of the collar, flower tociues. which aro small pnris of gardens, posed on silk covered c.invas aro shown in many shapes.
