If not white and black, then It It apt to be while and navy or white and brown which Is wonderfully chlo. Kvca the smart beige and gray costumes are taking on white contrasts, con-trasts, making a feature of white millinery, mil-linery, scarfs, blouses, gloves, belts, (lowers and bags, also jewelry. A most effective version of the black gown which highlights a dramatic contrast con-trast In white Is presented In the accompanying ac-companying picture. Flat crepe Is the material for the dress, made Interesting Interest-ing In that It is styled with a single large square lapel In white with a waistcoat effect which displays a chevron-stripe. A profile bat, so-called because be-cause of Its long-side brim which at side view silhouettes the features against Its dark background, is worn with this costume. It carries out the black-and-white Idea In that It is a black bakou appropriately trimmed with two carved Ivory-white ornaments. Among Interesting fashions which make white the keynote to their chic are the following: white jackets with dark skirts; white furs on dark coats; white coats of novel loose spongy weaves trimmed wi'Ji brown flat fur; also dark hats wPh white ribbons, flowers or ornaments or else the white chapeau with a note of black, or the all-white all-white hat with a black or navy dress. That, the white vogue extends from hats to shoes Is evidenced in the black pumps which style-wise women are wearing, a little white ribbon bow taking tak-ing the ijlace of the usual buckle. The latest boutonniere to wear with the spring tallleur is made up of white and black or navy leather flowers. Chalk-while beads or else necklaces composed of black together with white beads answers the call for jewelry to tune In with the now-so-modish "white and " costumes. ((c). 1931.
