Spring Conn Designers
Seek Their Inspiration
on the Book SheIUes

NEW YORK, Dec. 2i.-Designers OF
the materials for spring and summer
gowns seem 90 have gone TO the hook
shelves for their inspiration. Printed
silks-the piece de resistance or all
spring fabrics-and the designs upon
most OF these silks exploit some we'll
known story or book character. Al
though museums are still Hooded by
designers who nab ideas from old pc
riOd costumes, pottery or jewels, the
public Library is now beginning to
feel the influx OF designers in quest
Of good pictorial material as found in
stories, and also in search OF names
for their various hOokish patterns.
Thus, one house is putting out a
spring line of printed geOrgeiies and
radium silks. The designs are simple
small and conventional Most OF the
prints are two or three color checks
intertwlned with a floral motif, or a
tiny geOmetrical series OF Octag cons
and diamonds may form the pattern.
This is called the Lilliputian series,
and the same houses contrasting line
OF huge and ornate prints is called the
CULVER.
Designers are emphasizing the Rus
sion motif and cOloring. 1t is laugh
ingly prOphecied that the great flood
of SlOvak literature will ebb bit
now that the clotheirs are swoopng
up this same atmosphere. Instead OF
cultural clubs, reading and raving Of
Tolsto and Turgenef, we will have
the same clubs wearing this "almos-
phere."
The Samovar, Vodka. Sledge and
Peasant are the names OF four very
colorful Russian silks. The designs do
not resemble the names. but coloring
and line is influenced by Russian cos
tune and church emhrOideries. These

brighter hues Of cerise. orange. flame,
and jade upon black backgrounds. As
many as a dozen different colors are
used in one printed pattern.
Although the Slovak influence is
most strong in the new spring silks,
the Persian effect is keenly felt. one

almost mystic background for a gay
and gorgeous garden wherein Tolls the
old Epicurean with his book Of verses
underneath the bough, the leaf Of
bread and several jugs OF wine, all
proving that wilderness truly was
Paradise enow.H The same design is
put out upon rust and copper radlum
silks.
The Persian lotus leaf design is
found in a multitude OF fabrics and
colors. Floral designs on the whole
are quite conspicuous. There are
prints OF huge cabbage roses, gay
peoples, pansies, and smaller flowers,
such as Niolets and gardenias. Al
though many OF these patterns them
selves are large, coloring is quite har-
mOnious and subdued.
American literature Is represented
by a design called THE Forest Pri-

CHRISTMAS EVE

II you have no child OF your
