The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-05-15

The failure of the Hungarian govern
ment to respond to the invitation to send
delegates TO France to receive peace
terms, and the general uncertainty Of
Hungarian conditions will probably de-
lay the Austrian peace negotiations, it
developed to-day. The problems relating
to Austria and Hungary overlap so
greatly that the allies feel that many
phases of them must be considered
jointly.
No inspection of the credentials of the
Austrian peace delegation, which arrived
at st. German -Laye yesterday, has
yet been arranged.

CREPE De CHINE FROM JAPAN

Crepe de chine, In spite Of its name,
does not come from China but from
Japan, Italy and France. There are
no factories for making silk piece
goods In China, all the weaving being
done by hand. With the exception Of
pongees the products of the Chinese
looms are not popular abroad. except
in oriental countries, being too heavy,
although the patterns are wonderfully
beautiful and the colors exceedingly
rich.
The pongees are woven In the homes
Of the peasants, and as they come

come from the Liutang district. and
the nanshai from the Nighai district.
These pongees are made from the
wild silk Of Manchuria, where the silk
worms are not cultivated and fed on
mulberry leaves as In the rest OF
China but feed at will on oak leaves.
In the spring the eggs hatch on the
branches Of the oak trees and the Co
coons are gathered about September.
On attaining their full growth silk
worms seek something to which to at
tach themselves In order to wind them
selves up in their silk envelopes. Hav-

on the basis Of q period OF unheard-of

Just on Fifth avenue there Is little
shop which is making a speciality Of
summer frocks-especially those that
one naturally associates with after
noon tea or garden party. They are
shown In a wide range Of materials,
which embody all the new shades. The
designs are quite simple, and, what Is
more quite suitable for summer morn
ings or afternoons. One Is agreeably
surprised upon entering this shop and
examining the merchandise to find
ready-made summer dresses that tub

AN 0vER-THE-SKIRT BLOUSE
Garment for Summer Wear 10 Made Of
Sheer Cotton Wolfe and Hand
kerchief Linen.

II is no longer necessary to empha-
size the fact that the long costume or
smock blouse has a preferential place
In the lineup Of fashionable garments.
The question now Is not at all whether
the long blouse is fashionable but
rather one Of putting as much origi-
nality as possible into fits designing
and development. This type Of blouse
proves a great aid to the woman who
wants to make over q last season
frock. using Just the best portions Of
II. The simplest sort Of skirt is al
ways the best selection as an accom-
paniment Of the costume blouse, and
as gay colorings predominate In many
Of these blouses the skirt may be Of
any color.
The long blouse shown for summer
wear Is made Of sheer cotton voIle,
cotton novelty fabrics and lovely hand
kerchief linen In white and colors.
Elbow and three-quarter length
sleeves are decidedly approved by
American designers and By the women
themselves.
American designers are always fe-
verishly anxious to know what styles
the French are showing-what they
are Recommending. etc. but for sew
eral seasons there has been q very
noteworthy tendency on the part Of
American fashion designers to accept
more suggestions from the French
houses and these to large extent are
modified and Americanized
There Is no denying that Paris first
brought out the long blouse and that
we have been q long time in accept
ing 1t. This very thing helps to prove
that no longer does the American
dressmaker and style designer blindly
follow any leader.

The fabric hat might be called the

Once In q long time the amateur
discovers a hidden vein Of talent, but
all too often the only results are
pricked fingers, tears and trampled
finery. A sadder and wiser woman
realizes that the fabric hat requires
the full measure Of the trained milli-
ner's skill In the fashioning.
Whether owing to a scarcity OF straw
or to q degree Of fashion, the fabric
hat appears to be occupying the fore
ground Of the picture during the early
summer.
Hats Of tuIle, hats Of crepe de chine

fiourishes In undiminished popularity.
1t Is not often, declares q fashion au-
thority, that q conspicuous fashion
such as this, which quickly attained
universal favor, survives for a single
season, much less for the four WELL
rounded ones which the cape already
has to its credit, as 1t enters on the
summer solstice with q following as
enthusiastic as ever.
There are capes long and short,
capes slim and straight or draped In
vOluminous folds, three TERED capes,
reversible capes, capes In striking
combinations Of two materials In one
color or Of two cOlors In the same
material, curious and interesting capes
and cobwebby sketches Of capes In
geOrgette or tulle boldly accented with
fur.
One sees much less Of the waistcoat
In the summer cape models. II is
hard to tell whether the almost total
elimination OF this feature In all ex-
cept the strictly sport models Is due
to the fact that its added warmth is
no longer desirable or whether II has
been simply done to death.
Collar Arrangements.
The collar arrangement which wraps
around the neck In many folds Is still
much In evidence, but there are capes
with Medici collars, capes with q fit
ted yoke and high close-fitting collar
and capes with no more collar than
a band about the shoulders.
One Of the most useful cape models
has q very wide band of the fabric
folded softly back across the front
from hem to hem This can be gath
cred snugly about the throat or al
lowed to fall in gracefully negligent
folds around the shoulders as occa-
sion demands.
This cape Is displayed at its best
IN two-toned combinations of one ma
terial or In different fabrics of identi-
cal color. 1t Is handsomely developed
In navy blue serge and satin or In
castor tricolette and duveteen.
There Is a peculiar smartness about
the circular three-tiered capes. and
there are capes on straight lines also
with three tiers, the extremely wide
cape collar which falls well below the
shoulder line forming the upper tier.
These capes are at their best in
Poiret twill or gabardine, but 1t is
only fair to say that the useful navy
blue serge cape has been relegated to
the background which useful old
friends are so frequently required to
grace.

War and Sculpture.

7THE American sculptor, 10 Davidson,
has been commissioned to make a
Il series of bronzes of the allied political
and military leaders. The other day, in
Paris, he made his clay model for bust Of
Foch. Although Foch could give him but
two hours for sitting, the work pro-
crossed so swiftly and successfully that the
general remarked with a smile, as he
watched the play of the artists skilful
fingers, Sculpture seems not so very diff
ficult, after ALL"
So might the artist, watching Foch at
desk or telephone giving the quiet orders
for a big smash, say "War-making seems
not SO very difficult, after ALP It is only
the skill which comes of genius and of long
and difficult training and experience which
works SO smoothly as to seem no work at
all Carlyle defined genius as IAN infinite
capacity for taking palms,"
Foch took his posing easily enough. He
walked about and talked and showed none
of the self-consciousness so common to
