enthusiasm. and it was agreed to let some
other Marys equally distinguished know
of the plan and join in the contributing.
The other namessakes of the Queen were
equally enthusiastic. and appeals came
from less distinguished Marys that they,
too, might have a share in the gift.
Another meeting was held by the orig
inators of the plan, and it was finally
arranged that every Mary in Great Brit
ain should have a chance to contribute,
so now all the Queen Marys," be they
rich or poor, young or old, lowly or ex-
alted. may send any sum, from l penny
to s1, toward buying a gift for their
royal namesake.
In fact, the happy idea has caught on
like wildfre, and Marys all over the
United Kingdom have become self-enlist-
ed canvassers in the cause.
A list of all the contributors will be
kept, but not the amount given by each.
Contributions must be made before May
l. 1t will then be decided whether the
gift shall take the form Of a personal
ornament to be worn by the Queen. or
that of a sum of money, to be placed at
her majesty's disposal to allocate TO
whatever purpose she may determine.

Popularity of the Sash.

ioned sash comes back to us once more.
1t is in some new fancies. as revived
fashions are apt to be, yet it is none the
less attractive and welcome. It is such
a great aid in varying summer gowns,
especially white ones.
The general style seems to be the girdle
effect in the front, slightly raised in EN-
pire fashion at the back, the square bow
and the long, flowing ends. Some of
those in pastel-colored moires are edged
with black chiffon ruches, finished with
black chenille fringe and chenille flowers
at the ends. Others are finished with
feather trimming and have little wreaths
Of the gold French roses at the ends.
The velvet sashes are lined with gold
cloth and are embroidered with gold on
the ends and on the square bows, with
medallions around the girdle in the front.

in two shades, to give the changeable
effect so popular this season. Some of
the sash ends are gathered into tassels at
the ends. some are knotted half way up,
while some are heavily fringed- There
are styles to suit all wearers, even lace
sashes coming in for their share of pop

cious event. The all absorbing question
of the Easter hat proved a drawing card

enlarged by the addition of parlOrs and
several French rooms, where patrons
may retire for privacy while selecting
their new chapeaux.
These are decorated in white and gold,
with carpets OF velvet green, and hand
some hangings of ecru lace. Ferns and
cut flowers embellished these for the
opening. Some very handsome hats are
here displayed and novelties in pIumes
and fancy feathers not found elsewhere.

Perhaps the things which attracted the
most attention of all were the new auto

women friends were having tea together
and discussing the coming coronation,
when suddenly the marchioness drew at
tention to the fact that the Christian
name Of every woman in the room was

impossible to crafty her longing for
dainty underwear because of the un-
certainties OF laundering. After having

her the silk crepe idea will be a posi-
tive Joy. for she can retire to her hotel
bathroom, and, with the assistance of a
cake of good pure soap, may restore
her lingerie to its pristine glory and
loveliness-
The new garments come IN every
weight from the heaviest silk crepe to
the filmiest crepe de chine, built into
nightgowns, cheudse, corset covers,
combinations, and petticoats. They are
shown in white and colors and many
are elaborately embroidered in self-tone
silk.
