Even the conservative i dresser does not hesitate to don one - of \hese lovely colorful top coats when 1 spending a time at a southern resort i or in the country. Dress stuffs are 1 I only a trifle less colorful, and at first ? one might get the impression that i white had been excluded in the dress goods plan. This is by no means so, r and almost any weave that is found in color is also to be had in plain white. - There is this to be said, however, that i almost every white gown, unless one f is in mourning, has a liberal touch of i color introduced in the way of trim* - ming. 1 With Qualntness of Bygone Days. 1 A harbinger of the mode is this frock f of rose taffeta, which exemplifies the s double skirt?or the appearance of 3 It?the peplum bodice and the popu? lar absence of trimming.?Vogue.
