A BROWN STUDY.

New Bond street during the fashionable shopping hour is a study in mummy brown (says our Loudon correspondent, writing under date February 22). Not only are the ladies wearing costumes of that depressing shade, sometimes closely modelled on Egyptian cerements and caught up with groat scarab ornaments like stage jewellery, but the men are favoring brown colors for their suits. Of course, the latter phase may be merely a coincidence, and a Saville row tailor assures mo Luxor has nothing to do with the matter. “Continmen,” says this oracle, “ are not like that I” Which sounds like a sartorial tribute to the “superior complex” of male mentality. .Mrs .Asquith, who may frequently bo seen tripping along Now Bond street about noon, on shopping intent like any suburban matron, was one of tho first to adopt Luxor modes, designed aft sat her own plans, but tho fashion extremists have left Margot far behind.
