Some years ago the coral fishers of Torre del Greco, near Naples were in hard straits The value of coral had fallen so low that they were no longer able to find purchasers for their har- vest At last i'll their despair they be sought the queen to come to their aid. At the first great court ball that was held that year 1t the Quirinal the queen. to the surprise of all beholders. wore about her neck collar composed of six rows of coral instead of her su- perb collar of pearls, and her black hair was crowned with aiadem of coral and brilliants. From that evening the mode changed. Old coral ornaments that had been hidden away for years and years were again displayed at the jewellers and were snapped up by eager purchasers. Queen Helenas ob- ject was attained, and that court bal marked the beginning of more prosper ous days for the coral fishers of Tore del Greco

the high Directoire turban has spread

fawn. Everything about this costume
Is scalloped-the overskirt, the droop-

even the poise of the hat bow sug-
gests the scalloped line. And the
whole effect is indisputaby gay and
pretty and spring-like.

at Easter season. Millions of bum
MES, veritable armies of Dummies,
swarmed over the counters and in the
windows of candy shops; and though
the Dummies are still represented in
vast numbers in every Easter showing,
one notes growing favor for furry
animals OF the cat species as Easter
representatives, There is good OLD
German tradition back of the hare as
an Easter pet but just why the kitten is
lifted to a pinnacle OF favoritism al
this season is hard to determine-ex-
cept that a soft. furry white kitten
with blue ribbon around it's neck Is
even more lovable than a pert, long
cared rabbit similarly bedecked.
Chicks there are. too, a-plenty; and
they have n good raison d'etre al
Easter season, for as everybody knows
The relationship between eggs and
chicks is q close one--and eggs from
time immomorial have been the spe-
cial delight of Easter celebrations.
Ducks have their place with the chicks
and one Easter table center shows an
adorable white gosling, fluffy with tiny
Feathers made of crepe paper and

ideas. Some of them are Glled with
candy; others with gifts. In small
and humble candy shops one discovers
those delightful eggs which thrilled
our hearts in Childhood--eCgs with
glass windows at the end through
which one peeped at marvellous land
scapes and scenes. There are choco-
late eggs, too, with wrisgling lines
of white candy frosting over the sur
face-these also reminiscent OF old
fashioned Casters; but ii is the mod
ern Easter egg that entrances the
modern child-the Easter egg not
wonderful but conlical. The military

lat the waistline is SO smooth and close
that the lines of frock are suggested
There is a fitted and slightly boned
lining below the armpits and the soft
taiieta of the coat is puckered to this

a master hand could attain-the mas

visibly in two tones of the ground
color-coffee brown-and a deep hem
of cloth in the darker brown shade
conceals facing of haircloth. Unde,
this stiffened tunic is full but un-
stiffened skirt of the taffeta. There is
a suggestion of the cape collar in the
pleated tab that falls below the stand
ing collar. This tall collar and the
faring sleeve are edged with cream
plisse net. The loose sleeves are faced
with hairlace-a lighter grade of hair
cloth-and fall over inner sleeves OF
cream net finished with cuffs Of the
taffeta and more plisse net frills. Note
that the pointed ends of the silk
sleeves do not fly loose but are caught
down fatty to the silk cuff of the I'M
dersleeve-quite a new idea.
The skirt of this tailleur Is very
short and below it show silk stock
ings of creamy tan shade and paten,
leather slippers. The shoe shops
everywhere are displaying buckled
Colonial pumps for spring wear; they
are said to be the correct thing this
season. Yet in the smart restaurants
and stepping in and out of limousines
and taxis while the pavements were
still too sloppy for anything but SEN
sble footwear, l have noted a good
many of these pretty little slippers
slim of cut and guiltless of buckle OF
even ornament. one of those little
style whispers that seems to come
from nowhere and have no reason
for coming at all, but which makes
itself heard! At any rate do not in
vest literally in buckled Colonial
pumps until you are very sure they
are going to be as popular as the
shoemakers say they are.

This shade is something like huge
