In colors we shall have spots and ombre of shaded effects.
Colored spangles are all the rage for evening dresses.
Maize and all shades of purple and a tender gray-green will be popular.
Tartans will be introduced as trimmings in the form of piping or straps.
Ostrich feather scarfs will take the place of last year’s pelerine stole, and for theatres and later on for garden parties the new chiffon muff will be much in evidence.
Dresden roses in a variety of strange shades, pale mauve, pastel blue, bright green, and cowslips, pink, blue and green, are among some of the curious flower novelties.
Leather appliqued sunshades of strong silk in its natural color are intended for motoring, and the summer sunshade will consist of billowed chiffon encrusted with lace.
Flowers are mixed together regardless of color. Crimson and lemon roses, with blue forget-me-nots and bunches of heliotrope are a favorite flower combination.
Evening bodices for young girls are out almost in V hearts, square or rounded styles. Elbow sleeves are most generally worn, and these dresses are really becoming and modest looking. Young matrons wear a wider decolletage but it is softened by pretelles of velvet or tulle.
There is a feeling in dress which tends toward simplicity. We are weary of the overtrimmed styles, and are happily returning to the long, noble lines and flowing draperies which artists love.
