MAGPIE COLOURS.
Curious how black and white remains the favourite colour scheme for London year after year, however much the fashions may change. One hears, as usual, a great deal about bottle-green, dark wine red, and rich-copper-brown, as the fashionable shades for the season, but the combined shades are only 50 per rent. in favour, while the other 50 is held by black and white. I was reminded, remarks (he writer, of this at a big; parly the other afternoon, when I counted among 40 women at one end of the vast dining room, where we were having tea, 33 who wore black frocks. Lady Curzon, of Keddlcston. was wearing one of the new black cloth coats over her lilac frock, finished with revers and collar and cuffs of white, tailless ermine.
