Cocktail to Bodice
Flight of Cherry
BY MARGARET ROHE
Written for the United Press)


New York, April 9-Of course the
really proper and logical place for
perfectly good red cherry is in
Manhattan cocktail but since its nat
ural habitat has been Puritanically
and cruelty taken away, it is leading
an altogether artificial life as a part
of sartoria decoration
My, how it longs for the good old
days when it 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 inn
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
geries and hose. Appliqued, beaded,
embroidered, painted, printed, and in
realistic replicas of the living fruit
they flaunt their bright splotches of
red roundness over the surface of
the smartest summer styles.
A charming yellow Swiss embroid-
cred in. natural tinted cherries COM
bined with the plain yellow material
is quaint and original. 1t Haunted its
fruity frills in a smart Fifth avenue
window and almost stopped the traf-
fic for the crowds of adoring females
clustered before it. 1t was made
with close, almost sleeveless, bod
ice of the cherry figured stuff with
pannered oyerskirt of the same
while short frilled underskirt show
ed below and bias fold of the plain
yellow finished the round neck and
cherry colored picot ribbon narrowly
tied round the waist
An adorable navy taffeta, also
bouffant model, is piped with mar
row finish of cerise taffeta at every
conceivable edge, even around the
scalloned edges Of its short full skirt,
an dshows cluster of cerise taffeta
cherries and green taffeta leaves ap-
another splashy bunch at the low
right front of the skirt. Yet another
navy taffeta with cerise Georgette
panel from the round neck to the
hem of the skirt has just bunch of
artificial cherries at the girdle. Navy
and cerise by the way are a favored
combination.
Girlish little organdie and Georg-
ette frocks have all over-printed mo-
tifs of the cherry outlined in beads
on 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. 1t goes in for
weird and futuristic coloring and
spurns almost completely even bow
ing acquaintance with nature. In
clusters of jade green, orange, bright
purple or blue it bobs in clusters at
at the back of vivid hued grass
cloth turban or else bangles a bunch
OF brightness over each ear.
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 an.
other close to the head beneath the
brim.
Fascinating sets of lingeries, the
chemse, camisole and short drawers
of flesh tinted crepe de chine or
Georgette bear appliqued or embroid-
cred cherries in clusters of two or
three over the heart and above the
knee.
Taffeta parasols with bags to
match have appliqued or beaded
lunches of the favored fruit and gay
handkerchiefs with cherry colored
borders bear tiny embroidered ones
in every corner.
So Fashion inetnds ~ cherish the
cherry and tantalize us b. preserv-
ing it in the motifs of the mode in
stead of alcohol.
