Apropos of Three Weeks" Life's
''Shop Window" and Five Nights
which have such a run in Honolulu
the following is of interest:
Together and "a Little Brother OF
the Rich,' recent novels from the pens
of Prof. Robert Herrick and Joseph
Medill Patterson, respectively, are to
be debarred from free circulation in
Chicago if the efforts of Frederick II
Hid, public librarian, are of any
avail. The library board will vote on
the subject at it's meeting next Mon
day night, but Mr.. Hid is assured the
members will uphold MIN on the ques-
ton of the rejection of the two vo-
lumes.
"Such books do the public no good,
said Librarian Hid today. "Of course
the public will read them, but, in my
opinion, they should not be circulated
by free library. If anybody wishes
to read the stories he will have tc
purchase them, for I am convinced
that the Chicago public library will
not have them for free T'-tribution
1 am sure that the boar. members
will agree with me that tH.y SHOULD
be debarred from our shelves.

The French designers have beef
using satin ribbon flowers for som
time as a means of trimming.
This has brought about the fashion
for extra large roses made of ribbon
and put on a skirt or the center o
a bodice.
These roses are quite effective OF
all-blacked costumes and are grateful!
welcomed by the women who wea
black and do not know how to var!
the gowns.
Satin roses may be applied to net
to chiffon, to grenadine and also t
soft liberty cloths
They are rather heavy and elaborate
for coat suits, but they are quite smar
for house gowns. Possibly they lool
| better on velvet than any other fabric
A black velvet one-piece frock which
is to serve for smart afternoon occa
sions and informal dinners is higr
WASTED and fastens down the LEFT
front from bust to hem with satin but
! tons.
The huge satin roses on padded
stems form panels up the front bach
and sides, the panel at the back run
ming under the belt up to the shoulder
There is a single rose in the front O
the bodice. The long wrinkled sleeves
and the gathered yoke are of blacl
tulle, uniined and untrimmed.
