orchids with thousand of sprays Of
lily of the valley hanging on white
satin ribbons like tails on the regula-

a lot of them may be squeezed in at a
function without the discomfort and
the pushing and showing of former
years. AS Carolyn Wells says-and, by
the way. don't you love her hits at
feminine foibles ?-speaking of the

ward, you scarcely saw anything"
And at bridge the other night these
lines of hers kept repeating them
selves:
Her sleeves were such fit,
And, though at bridge she took hand,
She stood-she couldn't sit.
Which reminds me that new wrin-
kle in sleeves is to have chenille fringe
meandering from shoulder to elbow, so
that when the arm is lifted one gets
quite a Mexican cowboy effect. With
the cowboy sleeves and the Robinson
CrusOe fur turban all that is needed to
finish the wild west picture is the
Deadwood coach. We don't indulge in
coach hOldups these days, but on
Broadway the other morning an ele-
plant escaped from the Hippodrome
and afforded a good imitation Of the
olden days.
I do wish you were here in town to
go through the shops and see the dis
play Of advanced spring materials.
They are too lovely for words. The
silks and cachemire de sole, a fabric
we will see great deal Of the coming
season, are charming. And French
Grape that we all have admired from
distance on account Of its prohibitive
price Is now within reach of those Of
us who have been obliged to econo-
mize since the financial slump of last
year. The favorite designs in wash

OF the most expensive piques are in
solid colors and in printed Persian pat
terms.
In my journey through one Of the
most exclusive shops here in town /
was delighted to see stunning designs

comfortably without two or three of
these little silk frocks, and it was
pleasant to find that we have returned
10 small figures and scroll patterns in
two toned effects. To quote a most
courteous clerk, 1.-The colors that prom
Use to lead for spring are wood rose,
wistaria, catawba, amethyst, mulberry
and dull rose" There, now! Didn't /

sweet sake? But, to gossip some more,

as she picked over the embroideries in
her fussy fashion l noticed that she
was wearing one of the new finger
watches that are worn outside the
glove on the third finger Of the left
hand. These timepieces are the tiniest
things you ever sew and are mounted
on plain gold finger bands.
You have vivid recollections of the
impishness Of her small son John,
haven't you? Well. last Sunday he
was wriggling around in the family
pew, as usual. AS you know, our rec
