COLOURS IN WINTER

In winter when the necessity for brightness makes itself apparent, colour an important part in our lives —not just crude colour, but the harmony of it, and the idea for women to choose their gowns to tone with their rooms is rapidly spreading, says a Londoner.

A room of beige and soft browns would naturally call for a gaily-hued frock, and in this case any colour would be suitable from glowing cornelian to pale primrose yellow. As a contrast, in a room of blue and orange only a gown of leaf green, earth brown or black could be worn to advantage. If the wallpaper of a room should be patterned choose one of its colourings for a dress, but be sure the material is a plain one. Cushions often prove a keynote for the choice of our colour.

With rose and platinum, what prettier than delphinium blue in some -diaphanus material, such as chiffon or georgette? Shades of lilac, too, would be charming.
