That's really news TO me-" an
swered Marie. Does chenille come
IN many colors7"
yes, you can have IT IN practical
~ any shade you desire" was my
reply.
What meant TO ask was whether
contrasting effects are preferred 20
matching tones in this trimming7"
interrupted Marie.
well, you can have either style
OF trimming, but many OF the most
effective creations are attained by
the use OF chenille which contrasts
with the fabric TO which II is ap-
piled" I answered.
Those side pleats look smart"
commented Marie, as 1 closed my
sketchbook.
Eyes. there Is still a tendency 20
draw the fulness TO the sides. which
personally 1 consider an excellent
feature" I remarked.
1.-THE way they are attached sug-
gests a longer bodice" was Marie's
next remark.
Yes. 1 think thEt gives a more
stylish appearance than II you mere
" set the tucks in at the waistline.
which 1 suppose you noticed Is de-
fined by a black satin ribbon" was
my answer.
yes, indeed, I noticed that" an
swered Marie.
Ribbons are being used quite
bit this season, and some OF them in
the wider widths show novel decor
ations when they are used for sash
es," announced.
How would 1t be 70 elaborate a
plain satin with some chenillef" ask
ed Marie. who is always planning o.
iginal things after she sees some
thing which appeals to her.
THAT ould be effective, although
I think I would rather have the che
mile on chiffon or tulle. as the con-
trast would be decidedly attractive"
was my answer.
perhaps So" she replied. I'm
glad I've seen this dress as it is UNI
usually pretty"

AUXILIARY MAKES LARGE
.:.3 "s&s SALE OF PoPPiES

The Women's Auxiliary of the Am
erican Legion Post had a good sale
of poppies, the Legion flower, for
Memorial Day. The ladies began
their sale a week before and many
were wearing their attractive little
cloth flower before the week was UP.
At the close of the day, Monday, the
ladies had sold $50 of the little red
flowers, which brought total of
$96.60. The price was 10c, but more
could be paid if SO desired. The ay-
erage cost was a little over 10c. But
to sell $50 people one of the flowers
is q good many. Part of the money
goes to the 1ocal-legion post, part to
foreign relief and part to pay the
women of France who care for the
graves Of the American soldiers bur.
led in that foreign country. The la
dies feel grateful indeed for the
splendid support they were given in
,the selling of the flowers.
