BRIGHT COLOURS.
Women in Paris are dressing well and brightly. When colour fails in the hat, the scarf, the belt, the blouse, then you get it in the complexion and the hair. No woman looks quite colourless to-day, says a Paris correspondent. Colour is introduced even into shoes. For instance, a girl who came into a restaurant wearing a black dress with a long astrakhan cape, a black felt hat trimmed with astrakhan and tied with a little velvet cord of violet knotted at the side, had her black kid shoes laced with violet tied to a bow and tassel ends. Green in all the olive shades and in a cool almond shade is much worn in the morning. A red scarf often goes with it, or perhaps a belt, but not both, as a rule. It is well to practise restraint in this rush after brightness or it becomes a riot.
