Feathers for Decorating Frocks
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

! PARIS-The monkey has been pur-
sued for women's adornment for sew
eral years, SO that one despaired Of
the continuance of our most objec-
tionable ancestors and one still won
ders from where the plentiful array
or monkey fur comes. Now the Au-
! duoon Society must get it's eyes
sharpened. for exquisftely colored
feathers of fine birds are used to
decorate woman'S frock.
, Once upon a time we kept feathers
Tor hats. In a world turned upside
down We now use feathers for frocks.
The ostrich has been giving its
, rlumaSe ever since the war wealth
/ OF the proletariat brought sweeping
plumes and sealskin sacks into high
fashion, and as there was more than
enough plumage OF that kind for mil
hnery 1t was put into rosettes for
gowns. This season the preference
goes to tiny feathers. minute things
| that might have grown on humming
| birds.
Roiande, the designer. who made
ribbon frocks spread over the Amer
lean continent like the periwinkle
homespun suits. varies her new rib
bon gowns with wheels and pin
cushions; on both of these she elects
to put feathers
The wheel movement in decoration
Is as pronounced this season as the
lotus design was in Egypt. Where
1t comes from no one knows, but the
idea of using the tiny feathers of
gayly colored little birds comes from
the other side of the Pacific ocean.
That's where Paris is getting most
of her new ideas. The presence of
the potentates from Siam and AMMAN
helps this along, especially when they
kindly elect to wear their native cos
tunes sometimes when they go out
in a formal manner.
Those peoples who are older by
many centuries than we are like
humming-bird plumage as decora-
ton, and we will do the same if the
designers impress the public with
their new clothes.
This sketch. which Rolande has
given to this paper, proves the point
The material is beige crepe with
stitched curves forming wheels, each
wheel edged with feathers.
Yellow is the color used for this
particular design. but when the sash
was to be wrapped about the simple
chemise frock yellow was forsaken
and padded pincushions were entirely
covered with tiny pink and blue
feathers and placed on one hip.
1t is the desire of those who make
new clothes to accentuate the hip
decoration. We are getting familiar
with that idea after seeing it ex-
pressed few hundred times by diff
ferent dressmakers. But the pin
cushion made of bird feathers is new
Our eager eyes fell upon that choice
morsel, fashion vultures that we are.

Girls and Their Interests
CONDUCTED BY HELEN ii. FETTER.

tween the two groups of girls will
be established. Similarly, at the high
school girls conference at camp. il
was voted that a member of the en-
ployed girls clubs be invited as
guest to go with each delegation OF
high school girls to the conference
next year. Hiss Julia Caughen was
the high school guest of the local
delegation this year.
Another idea that originated with
the local girls cubs and was found
so satisfactory that it was immedi- =
ately adopted by all the other dele
cations for use at their home clubs
this winter. was the particular
method of arranging and carrying on
study classes. recreation classes and
club meetings used by the Washing
ton girls last year with marked sue
cess. Among the most popular classes
last year which will be renewed this
year are those in millinery. basketry
and-in athletic interests-basket ct
ball. There were eighty girls enrolled
for the various classes last year.
a formal opening of this seasons
classes will be held at the Y. w.
headquarters on F street on the
evening of September Fl. when the
old members of the classes will enjoy
a party, an elaborate program for
which is being arranged now. New
members will also he welcomed at

and trudged off on foot for the

train that was nearly half an hour

Famous Women and Other Things,
According to Gloria Swanson.

l caught only a glimpse of Gloria
swanson the last time she was in
town, and then 1 asked only ques-
tions about the clothes she planned to
buy in Paris and the sights she
planned to see and when she would
be back. but, in between feminine fads
and foibles. we did touch on one or
in my diary to show Gloria some time
(and maybe you other fans) when
we are all past talking Of hats and
hopes.
l asked her. for one thing, whom she
considered the ten greatest women in
history, and she named these nine:
Joan of Arc, who is today an inspira-
tion to all women: Florence Nightin-
gale. who went through unbelievable
hardships in the service of others;
Harriet Beecher Stowe; Nancy Hanks
Lincoln, mother of Abraham, because
Lincoln said that Everything / an
and everything that 1 expect to be
owe to my mother; Queen Elizabeth,
Susan B. Anthony, because she was
the first woman to remind other wom-
en- that they have definite RESPONSE
bilities in national affairs; Mary
Baker Eddy, Rosa Bonheur and
Jenny Lind"
After which we discussed other
