Desplto tho fact of black Spanish gowns, thero Is no cessation to tho demand for bright colors. In tho first season, whon thero has bcon an alleged al-leged lack of dyes, women In mass look llko kaleidoscopes. Their gowns fairly blazo In color, as thoy did during dur-ing tho Renaissance. This is moro particularly par-ticularly truo of gowns for tho cvo-nlng cvo-nlng than thoso for tho streot, thanks to tho good tasto of our women. In outdoor clothes, ovon whon wo choose rod and groon, wo chooso dark shades. Burgundy rod and Robin Hood green aro tho fashlonablo tonos. Thoro is also a soft leather tono in duvctyn that looks llko sucdo, which has crept In among tho othor streot ones and which 1b very much liked; It Is especially effective In top coats that aro worn ovor black and dark bluo gowns, and It lends ltsolt easily to skunk for collar and cuffs. In tho ovenlng, howovor, tho picture changos. Not only aro gorgeous colors indulged In, but thoy aro loaded down with gold and sllvor laco In tho Venetian Vene-tian manner. Certain womon havo already al-ready taken up tho idea of getting their houso gowns from Vonlco, nnd tho wearing of theso 1b not out of kooplug with tho wholo plcturo of ovo-ning ovo-ning clothes.

Ono of tho best gowns worn at tho oncrn was of bright nrecn velvet and laco ovor a petticoat of sllvor sll-vor laco, which was mounted on silver tlssuo. Tho gown was trimmed with wide bands of emeralds and rhino-stones rhino-stones worked on silver not.

Beneath tho short skirt woro square pantalottos of sllvor sll-vor laco and tho slippers of sllvor tls-ouo tls-ouo had oblong bucklos of Jot and crystal. Yot, in contrast to thoso gorgeous colors tho now frocks aro In bluo and pink, tho Wattoau shades. Worth sonds ovor a palo roso brocaded satin gown trimmed with rhincstonos, which Is lightened by tullo; tho prlco paid for It waB nearly $1,100, and tho only reason that ono Is not robolllous ovor such a prlco Is that tho money gooa to French orphans. |
