h chAntecler rage is too violent
TO last. for which the most Of us are
dcvoutly thankful. Do yoa know. If
we should attempt @ list Of things
named from the famous play. they
would hardly be contained in one coll
umn, and VIC may well believe that
the whole world IS growing.
The various papers speak Of chan
teclcr frills, and All sorts of frillings
are sold under that name, that will
be sold under the plain generic title
when the chantecler fashions have
died % sudden death.
II is not IT All surprising 10 find
that "Chantcclef" hns LEFT his impress
sion on wells. The mesh, studded with
growing cocks. is c0nspicuouely ugly.
and the wcarcr should be ccgnizant
Of the ridiculous glide Of the fashion.
Let us hope the wells do not become
popular in Albuquerque.

For now tho chantcclcr has pushed

The ehanteeler, this new toy is
called. The body Is OF the soft
woolly stuff which has been used for
Teddy bears. The body and legs are
of this SURF. while the arms. or
wings. are Of red and green felt and
are shaped like a ROSTERS wings.
There is a little bisaue face, but
the head Is of felt IN bright red,
shaped like a comb.
The color. ~dcsignntc- as chantecler,

Some pretty o~nc-piece dresses were
shown in one OF the shop windows on
Central avenue recently, introducing
touches OF the popular color on linen-
colored gowns. Speaking Of touches

that he is not the only chicken in the

careful study of the real creations
that are here will bring to your mind
several important points.
First OF All, the black girdle is a
decided feature OF spring gowns. II
may be of silk or satin on afternoon
gowns Of wolfe or foulard. it may be
of leather on linen or Bingham frocks.

Black tulle or crisp malinc Is used
to tone down the vivid colors on some
startling gowns, and wen does it per-

pipings are always effective, and
the invasion of the tiniest buttons

evidences of this important note.

value of any own will be decidedly
raised.
