BLACK SATIN FROCKS FROM PARIS.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE,
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
| NEW YORK, March 22.-There was
a rumor that satin would give way
, to other fabrics, and most of us be-
lieved it.
There was every reason to put Gre
dence in the rumor. Satin had been
dominant fabric for every type of gar
ment and wrap, for shoes and hats, for
petticoats and chemises. for bloomers
and house gowns, since the war start
ed. 1t had put other fabrics in the
shade for four years; it seemed to the
onlookers that the entire output of
satin produced by the world must
have been used up.
The manufacturers did not seem to
care that satin was not novelty.
They continued to weave 1t IN great
quantities. Its cost increased from
81 to $40 yard. One must admit that
the weaving reached a high degree of
merit. 1t began to take on some OF
its former security and thickness
One felt that it was worth the price.
but every one felt sure that the world
was too weary of the fabric to make
it's continued exploitation a success.
But France must have a large
amount of satin left on her shelves II
one judges by the amount of the fab-
ric used to build up many OF her pest
gowns. Possibly, France FOUND that
she did not have enough or any other
material that could be used i'll the
drapery which the hour demands: aiso
she may have felt that the rest OF the
world demanded satin. And the rest
of the world does realize its beauty
So as far as the new fashions go,
one is permitted to wear the materlal
which we call commonplace in gowns
that will be used for the street under
a wrap or for informal evening occa-
sions where the short sleeve does not
look as out of place as 1t does at
lunch table.

1nterprets Music of Inca Indians.

NEW YORK. March 24.-Carlos VAL
derrama- 4 noted Peruvian pianist, has
arrived here to introduce the music
of the Inca Indians to the American
musical world. He Is said to be the
first person to interpret the music of
cthese South American Aborigines
which IS described as possessing
beautiful pathos, inspired by the per-
secutions suffered by the Incas at the
hands of their Spanish conquerors
and transmitted from generation to
generation.

It Keeps the Narrow Hem.

There is no evidence in these new
satin gowns of a tendency to widen
the hem. Yet the tightness of the
skirt is less noticeable because of the
drapery that floats freely over the
hips and the knee. There is no diff
ficuIty in walking in the French skirt.
for it's shortness is so pronounced
that the ankles are free to do as they
please Even if there were any re-
striction in the hem, any limitation
of material that would destroy grace,
there is slash here and there that
gives freedom. In the majority of
new gowns slashes are covered by
the drapery, which takes away an
awkward exposure Of the leg.

JACK THE RABBITS NEWS.

JAIN TIE NADDhA , ANA w
TACK the Rabbit came early in the
~ morning to see Tinker Bob, the
King of the Forest. Tinker Bob was
always ready to be helpful whether
early in the morning or late in the
evening. Mr.. Rabbit did most of his
running about in the early morning
hours or in the early evening be-
cause he was afraid of the Hunter
and his dog.
~"What is your trouble this morn
ing, Mr.. Rabbit" asked Tinker.
ooh, l am so sappy l can hardly
tell you my story" answered Mr..
Rabbit. But l must tell you Mrs.
Rabbit sent me here to ask oyur
help"
q am always glad to help. What
soever you ask in my kingdom, that
will I gladly give"
"You are very kind to offer me
so much" said the Jack Rabbit.

ing of the forest dwellers, and they
will rejoice" he declared.
Tinker Bob went with Jack the
Rabbit to his home.
1t was in an old log at the edge
OF the forest. All around it were
briars and shrubs of many kinds.
Mr. Rabbit led the way through the
briars, and when they reached the
hollow log Tinker Bob looked in and
saw Mrs. Rabbit with four little baby
rabbits, their home had been lined
with fur which Mr.. and Mrs. Rabbit
had pulled from themselves while
waiting for the Great Spirit to esnd
the babies. The King took one at a
time and held it close to his breast.
They were so soft and tiny, being
fresh from the Great Unknown.
81 will be glad" said the King, "to
grant your request and protect your
babies from the Hunter and his
dog"
Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit were happy to
think the King of the Forest was
going to protect their children from
harm.
When Tinker Bob found his way
out of the brier patch, he looked
down the path into the forest and saw
a strange sight "What does all this
said he, as all the forest
dewllers paraded down the path to-
ward him.
"Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit have four
little babi !" came ne answer from
The tree tops. Sure enough, Jerry
the Jay had heard what Mr.. Rabbit
had said to the King, and as soon
as he could get his breakfast, he
called it from the tree top, and
now the forest dwellers were bring
ing gifts to the babies and their
parents!
Tomorrow at sunrise we will
meet to plan protection for these
new babies in the kingdom" said
Tinker Bob to the forest dwellers as
they passed by to visit the babies.
When Jack the Rabbit saw all the
gifts he was as proud as King and
welcomed the visitors with great
politeness.
Tomorrow-Mr. Rabbit Is Clever.
