Dame Fashion lately went on a chartreuse hunt. Let no Volsteadian be alarmed. It Is true that Webster defines this term as a pale green or yellow liquor of complex composition, prepared by the Carthusian monks of Tarragona, Spain, and said to. contain con-tain balm leaves, orange, peel, hyssop, peppermint and numerous other ingredients. in-gredients. But the point of this story Is that the newest fashion decrees are all dotted over with lids word "Chartreuse" "Char-treuse" as a color. "Describe 'Chartreuse,' please," begged Dame Fashion of a fabric authority. au-thority. He agreed at once that the color is much to the fore, and declared de-clared that it was "greenish-yellow," or "yellowish-green." One fashion edict has said that combinations of (bright blue and chartreuse, brown and 'chartreuse, and chartreuse with black :nre the season's most "chic" effects. : Meditatively the authority remarked re-marked : "Do you know what a lovebird love-bird looks like? Well, that color Is what I call 'chartreuse'." Seeing a young man hurrying in through the door of a theater wearing wear-ing a felt hat of as bright a scarlet as any proud cockerel's comb gave Dame Fashion another bit of color meditation. Ten years ago this young man would have gained much more attention than at present, when he seemed to be considered just a cheerful cheer-ful matter-of-course object. It would not be hnrd to bring it down to genuine genu-ine statistics, how many thousands less of black hats are offered this year to botli men and women thap in similar seasons previous. Sun-tan Is a favorite world, not only for shades of materials, but also for complexions. What will be the effect if strands of clear white or faintly pink pearl bends are put around brown throats? This Is a simple matter for those whose only care is to put harmony into style effects. ef-fects. Pretty pearls are supposed to grow in the dark ocean depths yet miracles will happen where costume adjuncts are concerned. No one's brownie complexion need be put to shame, for she can choose the de-ilightful de-ilightful "sun-tan" pearls to wear around her fashionably tanned neck ! ((c), 1929.
