A FAST COLOR WANTED.
Trimrain*« for New Army lai forai
I« Canaio* Some Litt!«
Di filen It y.
I
Official information has reached the
war department respecting the color
of the trimmings in the new uniform»
to be worn by the infantry. At pres
ent the blue of the cloth is of that light
order which is known to the trade u
“ciel.” This, literally translated,taeau
“sky,” but the color of the infantry
trimmings is not, strictly speaking,
the “sky blue” of the ribbon counter.
The question seems to be in the di
rection of getting a blue of this shade
that is solid or fast. It is doubtful
whether the dyes can be so applied a»
to retain the shade and preserve it
from fading into a green.
The effect, however, of this lighter
blue of the trimmings on the dark
blue of the body cloth is not at all
disagreeable, as might be supposed
from a mere description of the com
bination. It really harmonizes, and if
that color will “stand” it will be quit«
acceptable. The difficulty, as already
stated, is in keeping it from turning
to a shade w’hich will be decidedly jarr-
ring and esthetically offensive. It b
possible that there may be a return
to the white trimmings.
