and silk are brocaded on foundations
of satin finish. Large motifs are
chosen, and the design appears to
stand away from the fabric in gor-
geously glowing effect.
Flower motifs often are selected,
with preference given to the large
flowers, such as the fieur de lis and
the tulip All leaves, too, are used in
a conventional way. When smaller
flowers are used the design Is in
branches, and the effect of such pat
terms is daring and beautiful.
Gold and silver brocades are seen
on crepe satin foundations Or even
on backgrounds of dull crepe-a way
of enlivening these dull fabrics, which
have been almost too much in evil
dence during the last few months.
Introducing the Bias DecoIIetage.
Madeleine ct Madeleine have had
remarkable success with their yellow
and silver dresses. They have chosen
vivid canary shades, heavily trimmed
with silver lace. Often they use the
one-side shoulder strap, leaving the
other shoulder bare or with strap
of opposing color. Thus one shoulder
may. be draped in yellow and the
other with a slender band of silver.
Their newest dresses appear to be
made of one piece of goods cut on
the bias and wrapped around the fig
ure with the loose end caught up on
one side to form a cascade drapery.
The girdle or trimming is always ad
justed at low waist line. Such
dress is particularly pronounced in
this style when the wearer assumes
the sleek coiffure of Spanish beauty
of classic days and to this adds a
Jet comb and long jet earrings.
Jenny varies little from her char
acteristic simplicity. She also affects
the bias decolletage in her new eve
ming dresses. One of her most sue
cessfu recent novelties is a dress in
violet velvet of a marvellous shade
heavily trimmed with embroided gold
passementeries. This dress, toO like

wrapped around the figure and al
lowed to fall in uneven lengths about
the ankles.
Distinctly original in their concept
are some of the new gowns by Lam
vim combining the idea of long and
short and full and narrow skirts.
That is to say, to the short, full skirt
she has added an underpetticoat mar
row and long. Often this underpetti-
| coat is transparent, or If it is of an
OPAQUE material wide trimming band
in open effect is set into the over
| skirt.
Notes From Paris.
Now that the French dreSsmakers
| have settled down to their preWar
status Partisan weddings are begin
ming to show all kinds of novel and
| charming touches, sometimes eX-
tremely picturesque, but always main
tanning the true French elegance.
Some of the older generation are ask
ing if it can be possible that the
brides of today intend to abandon al
together the symbolic white. costume,
and their classic orange blossom Of
age-long tradition.
Cloth of silver trimmed with tulle
and worn with sprigs of myrtle, white
velvet draped over pale pink satins
and trains lined with the same color
are some of the newest bridal gowns.
Fine seed pearls, which formerly were
considered suitable for matrons, are
now largely used on youthful wedding
dresses.

VAIN LITTLE CRICKET.

@NE night little Cricket was
singing loudly when Toad

quiet! never heard such noise as
you and your family make"
"very true" replied the little crea-

"Why should 1 listen to the birds
when l can sing better than they do?'
asked the Cricket. "Just listen now.
Our family are tuning up and l am
sure birds could not sing louder
"If you would take the trouble to
listen some time when the birds are
singing in the daytime I am sure you
would not be so vain," said the Toad.
"Ah. there you are"' exclaimed the
Cricket. "In the daytime you say ;
why do the birds not sing at night, I
ask you, my friend? I will tell you
because they dare not compare voices
with my family; that is why. We can
outsing them and they do not wish to
let everyone know that the Crickets
have the best voices"

sure you would have to agree with me
that the birds can sing louder and
more sweetly than your family. /

TN THE formal, many-course dinner
a fruit course usually follows the
sweets and cheese, directly preced-
ing the coffee In many families fresh
fruit is always served at dinner fol-
lowing the dessert. The decorative
value of fresh fruit served in this way
has, no doubt, had something to DO
with the establishment of this course
in the dinner menu. But there are
not a few good folk who always de-
cline the course because they really
dor.t know just how to eat it. Oh, to
be sure they can eat oranges and ap-
pies and bananas and grapes, but they
are not at all sure whether they eat
them in the right way. For eating
fresh fruit at picnic or as be-
tween-meal is one thing, and eating it
at a dinner is another. The idea is,
however, always to serve it in it's nat
ural form. To serve the oranges all
peeled and sliced would indeed be
mistake on the part of the one who
