because we know our \own
minds, we need not be less feminine,
less helpful or less beautiful" said
Madame Olga Petrova, speaking to
members of the Association of Col
Ngiate Alumnae in the palm room
of the Hotel Fontenelle Saturday
noon. Nine. Pettrova wore Sc
serely tailored suit of midnight
>:u and hat of black velvet topped
vith s;crettes; her blouse was a
.s..;a bIue-green, fashioned with a
high neck. A red rose worn at the
waist added to the challenge of
color, and a silver fox scarf over
her shoulders blended with the neu-
trail tones.
"This would have been impossible
20 years ago." commented the IA
NOUS actress. referring to her talk.
"Then we spoke through our faith
ers, brothers, or other male rela-
tives. But this freedom which has
so recently come to women carries
with it a tremendous responsibility"
she warned. "We cannot now throw
the burden of guilt for our mistakes
upon the shoulders of others. We
must share with men the response
bilities of the world.
Vulgarity Not Necessary.
"One can be human and entertain
ing without being coarse and vul-
gar" declared Nine. Petrova
'There has been a lamentable lack
of decency in manners since the
war. The feeling of democracy is
not license for bad manners. For
the gentleness and culture of life,
we must depend upon the women.
/ do not expect much from the
men. 1t was the women in the pio-
neer days who carried books across
the plains and prairies so that these
instruments of learning would not
be left behind.
Even among the peasants, it is
the women who insist that hands be
washed before eating; that feet shall
be. kept off the mantlepiece. 1t is
the women who can develop the
spiritual side Of things in a revolu-
tienary world.
Il have had two fights with gal
leries this week in Omaha" volun-
teered the speaker, "and if | have
done nothing else, l hope l have
taught them sope manners"
Envy Is Natural.
"There are few who reach heights
without being envied by those who
lacl; the equipment and courage to
climb" was bit of philosophy from
Nine. Petrova's lips. "The farther
one tolls up mountain side, the
better target he makes for those who
would single him out. But there
would really be little in life for lis
If we could not work and strive, and
climb. If I thought no one were bet

Nine. Petrova with some excitement.
ut is a paradox, this saying about
being born equal" she said speaking
hurriedly. "Some children are born
pretty, some ugly, some strong, some
weak, some bright, and others-less
so. But do believe that being we'll,
born, this country offers very nearly
equal possibilities to all and that
those who will work, and bear, and
believe, will achieve success. And
there is nothing worth WHILE" said
Nine. Petrova, closing her eyes as
if in memory Of experience, that is
not hard to attain" "And remeha-
Der too" she said in closing her brief
talk, "that success is harder to keep
after you have it than it is to win

The growing popularity of Cretonnes for
home decoration and essential usages IS the
natural result of their extreme attractiveness
and economic value. Manufacturers have
been stimulated to the extreme to improve

B. C. India was the birthplace of calico
printing, but the earliest authentic record is
from Pliny, who claims "the Egyptians were
skilled in production of different colors by
applying or painting Mordants on fabrics.
then dyeing with coloring matter"
One Of the earliest methods was by bind
ing spots on fabric so when dipped in dye
these spots did not color. In India printed or
painted fabrics were known a long time be-
fore any attempt at copying was made. In
1927 the East Indian Company imported into
England what was known as printed calico,
and in 1884 printing patents were taken out
in London. In Neuchatel, Switzerland, So
called Indiennes were sfirst printed in 1889
and in 1853 the first printing on calicoes, the
orig1 of Cretonnes, was begun in Manchester,
England. In 1850 France commenced activity
in the same industry, and the name Cretonne
was given to this character of goods from the
name of the first prominent French maker.
Before these times, work of this kind was
modelled upon lines done in India, principally
at Surat, which is credited to the origin of
printed stuffs. When first taken up, the out
line of the work was painted on the cloth and
then coloring matter filled in the design with
brushes. Later on, colors of the designs as
well as the outline was printed by hand, by
means of wood blocks, which practice is still
in vogue in some higher grade creations.
The idea of printing by copper blocks in
place of wood arked the next advance, and
at once there followed wider latitude in de-
signs. The production Of roller printing, the
present method, came about 1743, and first
patents were taken out by Thomas Bell in
England in 1888. Roller printing was first
introduced in France in 1901. In the be-
ginning but one roller was used, though very
soon two to six were successfully handled.
The development from the one-roller prints
of 1875 to the 15-roller combination of today
marks the greatest advance in the worlds his
tory IN textile decoration.
Until about 40 years ago, little progress
was made in the United States in printed fab
RIGS for drapery purposes, nearly all that were
used being French or English origin and quite
expensive. About 1873 there was put on the
market sheer, 36-inch wide printed cotton
fabric called Sikoine. Its success was in
stantaneous and to it were soon added Sateens
and Cretonnes. Improvements in designs and
colorings went quickly on, coupled with an in
creasing variety Of fabrics, until from this
small beginning has developed in but little over
quarter of a century, the wonderful variety
