Julie came dashing into the room
like cyclone, just as I was looking
at the last of the new materials that
had just come from the importers.
Hurry down stairs,'t she said
breathlessly, eff you want to see Nine.
F.. You've been raving about her
ever since you heard her sing and L
thought you'd like to see her close
up"
The materials, lovely though they
were, now had no charm for me. Il
followed Julie down to the studio sta
tioning myself where [ could see and
yet not be seen. 1 viewed at close
range the idol of the opera going pub
lie. She was quite as lovely as she
appeared to be on the stage; tall and
graceful with wonderful coppery hair,
brown eyes and perfect complexion.

Have you anything already designed?

After looking at her fully a min

When she saw it Nine. F was de-
lighted and begged Madame to let her
have the gown as soon as possible.
Today Madame sent for me to see
the finished gown on Marianne.
! [ expected to find something smart
and gorgeous, but this gown was even
handsomer than the sketch which is
not often the case.
| There was a charming combination
of silver brocaded tissue anad greer
mirror green that looks so well with
copper colored hair.
The fOuA dalton of the gown was
of soft white silk yelled with a, LAYER
of white chiffon. The bodice was fit
ted snugly to the figure and the
skirt was quite narrow and very long.
The bodice was designed to give
that one-sided effect which is SO pop
ular at present. This was emphasized
by a shoulder sash of velvet trimmed
with tassel. A broad girdle of the
velvet was drawn softly about the
normal waistline, extending high I'M

the bodice was of the brocaded it's

SMART BLOUSES
BEING SHOWN
IN SHOPS

Many of the b1ouses of thin ma
terial have large revers, held in place
narrowly at the shoulders and falling
softly nearly to the waist line in
front, and in a general way it may be
said that if a blouse is not strictly
tailored it is softly fluffy in a slim,
narrow shouldered fashion.
Valenciennes lace is much used to
edge f1uted or plated frills and for
narrow. insertions between groups of
tucks, and filet is still playing an i'm
portant though subdued role in
blouse decoration.
An exquisite violet Georgette blouse
has its long revers and wide collar
finished with q narrow pointed flet
lace edging, the points running into
the material and the straight edge
softened by tiny frilled thread lace
footing.
But when one begins to speak of
Georgette blouses the mind is lost in
a maze of enchanting visions and it
is difficult to know where to begin.
A formal blouse is in biscuit Geor-
gette with it's bib shaped front sec
ton which falls below the waist

walls On this background is set a
bold design in navy blue beads and
a band of the biscuit beading out
lines the square neck and collar. This
is a beautiful blouse, but no more sc
than one of castor Georgette with
landings and hanging buttons of dull
blue beads.
A pink Georgette blouse is trimmed
with bands of satin in which a design
| has been perforated so that the Geor.
gette shows through. An embroidery
stitch applies this design to the ma
| terial.
Another tucked blouse of biscuit
Georgette presents a high collar but

When Tai-tsung was Emperor OF

won the confidence of many-Ch 1ese,
who thronged the mission home

these was Woo, a clever young girl,
daughter of the bannerman who
guarded the Dragon gate of the city
of Chang-an.
The HISTORIAN became particularly
interested in Woo, who seemed never

Then one day the girl by her clever

said to have 1eaped full armed into

New York but two seasons ago was for
| concert of the chamber music type
an almost spectacular success. Not
alone was the Belasco theatre filled to

away, and so many requests ensued.
| that a second concert was given i'm

| gratifying results. Strangely enough
London accepted this organization in
the same unconditional manner, ami
London is proverbially cold to Amer
lean musical enterprises. However,
three public appearances and many
| private hearings were given there in
| rapid succession before the war broke

1t does not require an extraordinary
amount of faith to believe in the sue
cess which the Trio is said to have
achieved, for with the three names
that it boasts of, it's success would be
well nigh inevitable. They are
names which bespeak not only the
highest that has been attained upon
these instruments, but they are names
as well of artists who have national
and international regulations as en-
semble players. They are George
Barrere, flute; Carlos Salzedo, harp
Paul kefer, cello.
