COLOUE CRAZE
BRILLIANT BEACHES ;
Bathing and beach fashions have bceii very gay, this year, and some of tho very latest designs were shown at Manchester, states a London correspondent. They included scarlet linen plusfours, bright green, shantung shorts with quaint pink shirts, and other equally vivid colour schemes. Tho craze for brilliance is even affecting such a, prosaic institution as the building trade; for,, in a recent report on the economic arid manufacturing aspects of the building trade,;we.Jearn that «very kind of quaint rough-surfaced and gailyhued brick is in demand, and that only in the north of England is the smooth; old-fashioned/ red brick still "desired. Among the new tints are "pot-pourri," cherry-red, golden-grey, and orangeTedplum, while overburnt and misshapen bricks are snapped up like hot. cakes, and some makers are even! producing bricks with artificially roughened -surfaces and uneven "fronts"!' Tapestry, astrakhan, bark, and rug textures are favourite modern styles—in fact, out houses will soon boast a thoroughly futurist outlook. . .
