WOMAN AS DECORATION. By Emily
Burbank Illustrated. New York:
Dodd, Mead G. Co.
A study in the esthetics of dress
The principles of art in general are
here made use of to set forth the few
underlying facts that define and con-
troll the artistry of clothes. just as
these principles were applied to THE
Art of Interior Decoration" of which
book the one in hand is a sequel. Suit
abiiity--ftneSs between raiment and
the occasion for its use-is the founda-
tion of this discussion. Indeed, the
chief aim of the study is to create in
women that keen sense of harmony
between use and form that lies at the
root of every artistic effort. Illustra-
tions from both the past and the pres
ent objectify certain points of the text.
The whole is a competent effort to give
intelligence and intelligibility to the
subject of artistry as this bears upon
the decorative possibilities of woman'S S
dress.
THE HUMAN SIDE OF BIRDS. BY
Royal Dixon. With four illustra-
tons in colors by S. H. wainwright. jr.
And with thirty-two illustrations
from photographs. New York: Fred
erick A. Stokes.
The author would have been justi-
fed in calling his book The Soul Side
of Birds" so literally does he prove
their possession of qualities, good and
evil, supposed TO belong to man alone.
and demonstrate their proficiency along
many lines of human endeavor-mili-
tary, judicial. social. professional and
manual-that argues Il mentality which
man calls "instinct"-and ignores. AS
the writer explains: There is no quail
ity or occupation in the human world
which does not have parallel in the
bird world Birds maintain labor
unions and military organizations.
Their best divers go to depths of 400
feet, swallowing pebbles to make them
selves heavy for the purpose 1t is a
most arrogant attitude that man as
sumes when he endeavors to explain
everything in terms of his own life
and mind Birds have life, point of
view and destiny of their own. They
have as many shades of character and
disposition as there are types of Deo-
pie There are the gay, the sad; the
sociable, the reserved; the trustful, the
shy; the frank, the deceitful; the hon.
est, the dishonest: the gentle, the vio-
, lent; the peaceful, the quarrelsome, and
so on And then the author proves it
by recording his researches in the most
captiyating text. 1t is a study to revel
in and to accept, with implicit faith
an advantage which narrative interest
does not always supply. The nlustra-
tions give intimate glimpses of bird
life, the artistically painted frontis-
IA yellow moon where the mother owl
often sits with her young-and talks
to them as if she were teaching them

the French called "Notre Dame de

passionate revolutionary protest against
the extraordinary fripperies, frivolities

it is. 1t satisfies the appetite of fash
ion today.
1t is a question as to whether the
short jacket will remain at the pinnacle
of fashion, but nevertheless woman
who wants to be in the picture will
risk a chance on it and will find that
it is not an easy garment to achieve
through alteration
There is another type Of coat which
modified form. and upon which the
French place a high valuation. 1t is
usually called the buttonless Jacket 1t
and these fronts extend into long ends
that go across the peplum of the jacket
at the back, are loosely knotted and
then dropped
There is a short jacket which has
taken the long one as it's inspiration,
but it will have nothing to do with the
peplum. 1t is fashioned after the
sweaters that were worn this winter.
1t reaches to the waist line, and the
fronts, crossing below the bust make
soft girdle and a Japanese bow at
the back.
The eton jacket. the bolero. the bell
boy jacket and the Dagobert corSeIet are
in high fashion, but they are garments
that demand to be bought today from
a tailor or shop. They cannot be
evolved with any degree of success
