NEW YORK, April 1o.-Of course
the really proper and logical place for
a perfectly good red cherry is in
Manhattan cocktail but since it's natu-
raj habitat has been puritanically and
cruelty taken away, it is laeding an
altogether artificial life as a part of
sartorial decoration.
My, how it longs for the good old
days when it went in for interior de-,
coration instead. But one must now
gather ones cherries how and when
may and they are found these be-
nighted days Frightening up the glass
of fashion in lieu of cocktail glass.
Indeed, cherries ripe form an
portant and decorative part of the
summer girls wardrobe. In ever
form Of sartorial art they are fou
on hat, on frock, on mouchoir, lingeri
and hose. Appliqued beaded, en-
broidered, painted, printed, and in
realistic replicas of the living fruit
they flaunt their bright splotches Of
red roundness over thesurface of the
smartest summer styles
A charming yellow Swiss embroid
cred in natural tinted cherries COM
bined with the plain yellow materials
is quaint and original. It Haunted
it's fruity frills in a smart Fifth Ave-,
window and almost stopped the traf-
fic for the crowds of adoring females
clustered before it. 1t was made
with close, almost sleeveless, bodice
of the cherry figured stuff with a
panniered overskirt of the same while
a short frilled underskirt showed be-
low bias fold of plain yellow fin
ished the round neck and a cherry col
ored picot ribbon narrowly tied round
the waist.
An adorable navy taffeta, also
bouffant model, is piped with mar
row finished of cerise taffeta at every
conceivable edge, even around the seal
loped edges of its short full skirt, and
shows cluster Of cerise taffeta
cherries and green taffeta leaves ap-
,,hqued at ihe left of the bodice and
another splashy bunch at the low
right front of the skirt. Yet another
navy taffeta with a cerise Georgette
panel from the round neck to the hem
of the skirt has just bunch Of arti-
ficial cherries at the girdle. Navy
blue and cerise by the way are a fav-
ored combination.
Girlish little organdie and George
cite frocks have all over printed mo-
tifs of the cherry @utlined in beads
in white beige grSnnd and are other
wise untrimmed save for the self
draperies and girdles of cherry rib
bon.
The cherry that grows on the sum-
mer chapeau is bit more heady than
the frock fruits. 1t goes in for
weird and futuristic colorings and
spurns almost completely even bow
ing acquaintance with nature. In
clusters of jade greens orange bright
purple or blue it bobs in clusters OF
the back of vivid hued grass cloth
turban or elne bangles bunch of
brightness over each ear.
Large hats of colored or black hair
grow cherries all around their crowns
or else boast only one gray bunch at
the edge of the brim on top and an
other close TO the head beneath the
brim.
Fascinating sets of lingerie, the
chemise, camisole and short drawers
of flesh tinted Grape &c chine or
Georgette bear appliques or embroid-
cred cherries in clusters of two or
three over the heart and above the
knee.
Taffetta parasols with bags to
match have appliqned or beaded
punches of the favored fruit and gay
handerchiefs with cherry colored hord-
ers bear tiny embroidered ones in
every corner.
So Fashion intends to cherish the
cherry and tantiiize us by preserving
it in the motif Of the mode instead
Of alcohol.
