One of the newest points of the new est fashions la the color note, and this Is given by contrast, by the blending together of rnnny materials to give a complete harmony anti color. This one point alone means to tlm woman who studies economy a wider range than Is usual It limits her neither in color nor In combination of material«.

A Practical Combination. tine of the moat practical coniblna- Hons in a made-over gown is a serge and moire taffeta, the softness of the taffeta In many instances offsetting the harshness of the serge. The heav ier material Is used for the upper por tion of the gown and the underskirt is of the lighter-weight silk. The use of ruffles I« still nnother change w I.Ich makes the remodeling of clot ties easy. The new ruffles arc not up so full as were their ancestors, but are cut more shaped and In most tn- slunces are very wide. Panel« in Skirts. \». 7.4.14 Misses' Costume. Without lining.
