THE NEW COLOUR.
A new colour is to succeed the hackneyed fawns and tans that have domin-
ated the world of women’s dress for the past three years—Beaujolais red. Describing the colour, the head of a Bond Street shop which dresses queens, said; “A glance at a glass of Bordeaux or Burgundy wine gives a better idea of it than words can convey. It is a brown red, rather than a blue red. "Bottle-green, another colour to be worn for street dresses, has long been a stranger, but there is no doubt of its beaut}* when accompanied with fur.” Questioned as to the. prospects of navy-blue, he said: “Navy blue is quite dead in Egland and in Paris. Jt keeps its popularity in America, but the tint used there is a raven shade of navy rather than the purple shade we know in this country.”
