You know how it ia yourself when the
house decorators leave a little enamel .
or radiator bronze behind, how you go
raound touching up every thing in
sight , The same thing evidently has
happened to the fashion artists. With -the
paint left over from the hats they
have lavishly gone about decorating
evening frocks and afternoon gowns
in handpainted festoons, garlands and
nosegays. The plain little tight bod
ices -and buff ant skirt and panniers
of taffeta on the evening models lend
themselves beautifully to handpaint
ed ornamentation. A handpainted
muslin chiffon or silk frock for a .
bright summer's day is perfect ap?
navel when topped with a hand painted
hat- of like design and finished with .
handpainted hose and slippers , to
boot. Fine indeed for the maid who ,
has sense enough to como in out of
the rain. Painbid parasols are excep-.
tionally charming. They . carry out
the design of ,tho vest of your paint
ed costume, or they may be an orginal
theme. A lavender one done in clus
ters of purple and yellow pansies is
indead food for thought. We have
long had lamp shades and candle
shades handpainted, bo why make .
light of handpainted sunshades? Any
way you look a handpainted summer
seems imminent.. All summer girls
will be "Mind-the-paint-girls" and of
a necessity "Watch you .-step" as: a - ;
watch word will fade into oblivion be
fore the admonition "Mind the paint."
Let us hope we don't all have the
pointer's colic before the season's
over. " ; ; . .
