Shadow stripes are a new touch and are to lie had in all the popular sell colours, while shot herringbones embracing colouts hitherto not associated with the mere male are another slop in the direction of more colour for men.

Often, too. iter frock will he of “Tango” colour—that autumnal shade of golden brown named after the dance. The heels of her shoes will be high, as much perhaps, as 21 inches, and they may he of a different colour from the rest of the shoe. Her hnir-so Fashion dictates—should bo inclined to curl rather than to wave.
