COLOUR FASHIONS.

BEIGE REPLACED BY PINK. Lately returned travellers tell us that beige has utterly disappeared from the world of fashion, and pink has taken its place. But not the clear, soft, shade, almost mauve pink, or grey-pink, a wonderfulily smart tone. And Paris still keeps to the short frock for day wear, even shorter than London is wearing; for evening, however, the frock is not only long, but very often trailing. The Parisienne has taken to detachable collars and cuffs, round Peter Pan collars, and three-inch close cuffs are most popular, and lingerie sets are once more the vogue. Hemstitched crepe de chine, georgette, and organdy collars are finished with narrow ties under the chin.. Newer, and extremely attractive, are bead-encrust-ed collars and cuffs. Enormously smart is a set made with iridescent white beads in alliance with black ones, worn with an otherwise unadorned black georgette frock. A set made entirely of pillar-box fed, gold, and white beads is extremely chic for wear with a navy blue crepe-de-chine frock. Quaint are gauntlet cuffs worn on short sleeves, high-necked frocks, which have round collars to match.
