Cocktail to Bodice
Is Flight of Cherry

NEW YORK, April 1O.-Of
course. the really proper and logi-
cal place for a perfectly good red
cherry is in a Manhattan cocktail,
but since its natural habitat has
been PuritanicaIly and cruelty taken
away it is leading an altogether
artificial life as a part OF sartorial
decoration.
My. how II longs for the good
old days when IL went in for interior
decoration instead. But one must
now gather ones cherries how and
where one may and they are found
these benighted days Frightening up
the glass OF fashion in lieu of cock
tail glass.
Indeed. cherries ripe form an i'm
portant and decorative part of the
summer girls wardrobe. In every
form of sartorial art they are found
ON hat, on frock, on mouchoir, lin
gerie and hose. Appliqued, beaded,
embroidered. painted. printed. and
in realistic replicas OF the living
fruit they faunt their bright
splotches OF red roundness over the
surface OF the smartest summer

Girlish little organdie and georg-
cite frOcks have all over printed
motifs Of the cherry outlined in
beads on "a white or beige ground
and are otherwise untrimmed save
for the self draperies and girdles OF
cherry ribbon.
The cherry that grows on the
summer chapeau is bit more
heady than the froCk fruits. Ii goes
in for weird and futuristic colo-ings

Large hats OF colored or black
hair grow cherries all around their
crowns or else boast only one gay
bunch at the edge OF the brim on
top and another close 10 the head
beneath the brim.
ON Lingerie. Too.
Fascinating sets of lingerie. The
Chemise. camisole and short draw
ers of flesh tinted crepe de chine
or georgette bear appliQued or en-
broidered cherries in clusters OF
two or three over the heart and
above the knee.
Tameta parasols with bags On
match have appliQued or beaded
lunches OF the favored fruit and gay
haudkerChiefs with cherry CoIored

In every corner.
So fashion intends to cherish the
cherry and tantalize Us by preserv-
ing 10 in the motifs OF the mode
instead OF alcohol
