EXTRAVAGANCE THE RULE.
Dress gets more and more expensive ; of this there can be no shadow of doubt. It is nt once richer and less durable* Soft stuffs prevail, such as crepe de Clime, chiffon, silk voile, and niou^elinc de Koie j and' these are often beautified by elaborate, hand-worked embroideries. Theii there has bwsn a revival of the pretty fashion of things to match ; and we once more see a isown, hat, parasol, and sometimes neck-ruffle, in a lrxppy accordance of colour. And as n natior. our' artistic sense hns improved, and th-s makes for beauty, b«t hardly for economy. The favourite colours' aro jiravo rather than garish. Black, and black and white, grey, mauve, pule blue, pale pink, cream, ancl fnwn — the best-dieps-ed women ring the changes on these. Even in this year of rejoicing, we seem not entirely to throw off the subdued tints of 1901. At any rate, it is nu unexpected proof of good tasto that the smart world hi\s rot worn red, white, nnd blue, or any other "Coionatiou " colours. We have much to be thankful for!— M.A.P.
