These are the colours fashions has let out of her bag for the coming season. Pink is an easy first, both for day and evening wear. Evening gowns, made cither i picture fashion or much draped, are often in that same new pink which has the etfect of being brushed lightly over with a peach-like bloom. The soft velvety finish is to be found on many of the new materials. The chief dress changes coming along include: —Higher waists, glove sleeves, shaded frocks,. two-piece evening outfits. Wais t ts will now be up at the front andlow at the back. “These zig-zag waists are to be seen on a number of the newest models, and are consistent with the new ii J regular length, which is longer at the back than the front. “Evening frocks specially will display this tendency. For everyday wear skirts will be as short as ever, just covering the 1^00.“ The glove sleeve gets its name from the fact that some of the newest models have two-colour sleeves, and that the lower half, which fits fairly tight to the arm, gives a glove-like effect.

Two-piece evening outfits, comprising a sleeveless frock and a coatee or sleeved shawl, will be seen next season. Belts, square necks, fringes and beads arc other dress items which will be observed.
