FASHIONABLE COLOURS.
Most of the greens that are counted smart arc of a yellowish cast, remarks a fashion authority. An exception is turquoise, the new version of which is somotiijjes called opaque turquoise. It is rather green—more the tone of an old turquoise, that has been worn, until it has lost much of its original blue. Pastel blues, with a slight inclination toward mauve, are decidedly smart, and the very fact that they have not been especially exploited so far would seem to indicate considerabe importance as the season advances. Violet and mauve tones are specially attractive in the new woollen materials made with an interweaving of white threads, that give the violet tones a charming mistiness. Bear in mind that all these soft tones are smart for sports wear.
You have but to look over a collection of paste! crayons to realise that pastel red need not be pink. I here are rather dee]) reds, crimsons, and scarlets, like real crimson and scarlet seen through a mist.
