GIRLS PRANK LED TO
PATCHES FOR SHOULDER.
Readers may recall the summer
and winter when the eccentric
beauty patch on the shoulder for
evening wear was all the vogue.
II had its origin in the chorus, and
this is how 1t all happened.
One evening in popular Broad
way show six girls were getting
dressed for a dinner gown set. The
costumes were very beautiful,
though cut extremely low. One girl.
dressed before the rest. took her
companions eyebrow pencil and In
a moment Of mischievousness drew
a raven on the girls back. II was
roughly done. to be sure, but when
the girl moved her shoulder muscle
the wings rose and fell as II the
bird were in flight.
The girls had good laugh as the
tatooed one walked on with the
bird still painted on her white shoul-
der. II created a good deal of mirth,
and when the comedian took the cue
and referred 1t TO the audience was
enthralled by a new idea. That
summer enterprising novelty firms
got out freak shoulder patch de.
signs, and the novelty had brief
but hectic career. ............
The swagger stick for women,
though not widely adapted on this
side of the water. started in the
London music halls during the war.
Chorus beauties, dressed in khaki,
or in the snappy uniform of the
Royal Flying Corps. carried these
smart little sticks. Displayed In
smsrtest shops In the British me-
tropolis, they soon became the rage
all over London.
Other fads. almost too numerous
TO recount, have started in the
