FASHIONS.

FASHION FUTURES. "While we enjoy the hot summer sunshine, give one thought to the days that will follow, and what you will wear then. Remember that today the Parisian is setting our fashions for the future—and to know what they are doing, is interesting. Two new colours have made an appearance: Wallflower, the real old wall colour, is now, so also is Cyrus green—a green that is actually more blue than green. Shot materials are being worn in the evening. A new satin, a new velvet, are specially prepared, the one to Icok like mother of pearl, and the other softly shaded to different colours. Turbans, berets, Italian, Russian and Indian caps are inspiring European milliners at the moment. The tunic, in velvet, over a shirt of woollen cloth, is particularly “right.” The contrasting jacket goes on for day and evening. A dark skirt has several different coloured jackets, some knitted, some in materials such as velvet or smooth cloth. Plaids and checks will go with plain materials. Scarves should be tucked under the coat collar or neck line, and two sharp ends should stick out towards the ear line. Rabbits’ hair tweeds, downy woollens, are being worn. With a bright coloured blouse you should have a heavy composition ring to match. This, done in tomato red, is essentially right. Finally, keep your accents strong. Nothing half and half, nothing insipid goes.
