Show Th. Faslilnnaul. Culur Miss Flora Davis In New York Journal. Iu my opinion, uiauvo is the favorite color this season. One n aion is that it is becoming alike to blonde aud to brunette and is suitable for the debutante debu-tante as well U9 the lustroti. For dark-eyed dark-eyed belles there is a lovely shado, almost al-most on a rosu coior, and for blue-eved beauties there is a shade just the color of violotn. Mrs. Astor wore ft Worth fjowrn of mauve-colornd silk aud chiffon at her sou's wedding in February, and since then it has become the rage. The princess of Wales favors the pretty shade and has worn it this season at drawing-rooms, garden gar-den parlies and dinners, and she sets tbe fashion fur womankind to the same extent that the prince dooa for thu men. The favtuile style of gown this season has been a revival of the demi-trained skirts with the quaint jackets of the time of Louis Seize. Of course, nothing is so pretty for these as delioato mauve silk, plain or brocaded bro-caded in tiny boquots and lover's kuots, and trimmed with ruflles of filmy chiffon. Every ono is agreed that the fashious in gowns wore never so picturesquely pretty as they have been this spring, and a visit to one of the Claremout teas, or to the pretty open air play at Castle 1'oint on Tuesday Tues-day of last week, would have shown how pretty the New York girl can look when she lays by her dark tailor-made gowns aud steps forth in all her dainty summer silks and laces. All of the girls I know have somewhere packed awny in their big trunks a gown of one of tha limine tints, with chiiTron-covered par-itsol par-itsol and iitce shado hat to match. |
