POPULAR SHADES.
COMPLEXIONS TO MATCH. Now that women make up so generally the fear on any dressmaker's part that'such and such might be a "difficult" colour to wear does not exist. Blue used to be considered very inadvisable for the evening, and if a predilection for that colour was insisted on then the shade was supposed to be chosen with the utmost caution. Now every conceivable shade of hluc that, ever did or could exist eeems to have been requisitioned, and often two shades will be put together that formerly were supposed to clash, yet the effect will be beautiful. Thus a pale blue chiffon was spattered with periwinkle blue flowers until they looked like something which ought to be picked—some patch from a blue border in a fairy garden. A royal blue georgette was outlined with garnet embroideries on the V-shaped decolletage. and had a flower of the garnets on the left shoulder. A silver and royal blue shot tissue was trimmed with deep blue and silver fringe, and had a long train of the tissue. Blue often appears as one of the shades in the new shot chiffon.
