15he Newest in Autumn Colors
The IV. M. store, ever striving to please
and keep up to the minute in all that is new,
has this item of news for their customers. The
ever popular brown is one of the leaders. It
is especially striking when used, with Nile
'green. King's blue is used with dark brown
to good effect. The light shades of golden
and olive are particularly pleasing when com-
bined with King's blue. A very popular com-
bination is of orchard with lace in white. For
dress trimming we noticed some smart gowns
using the cut bronze and steel beads, with
navy blue. Shades of mouse with Royal blue.
The lighter tans with Belgium. Dark brown
with a touch of purple. Another stunning
costume was American beauty shade, almost
cerise with navy blue. King's blue and Nile
green, gray and black and gray and white
ase new.
