You may say Il with brocade or chif-
fon or velvet or one of the cire metal
cloth tissues-that summer evening
wrap Of yours. And, II you are fanci-
ful, you may include several materials
in one model. Perhaps the model most
widely sponsored by the fashionable
woman who steps from her villa at one
Of the New England resorts into her
crested limousine Is the brOcaded cape
with collar Of summer ermine, chin
chilla or sable.
White enjoys the same favor for the
evening wrap as il does in other fields,
and some Of the most dazzling models
are brocados on which gold or silver
motifs appear on snowy backgrounds.
Today we show a very effective sum
mer Nrap Of black chiffon brocaded in
gold and finished with collar of Rus
sian sable. The lining is a very light
weight gold tissue cloth, incidentally,
one must repeat again the passion for
the matching evening wrap. Thus, with
chiffon frock Of emerald green or
raspbcrry--both of these tints are much
seen at the fashionable rcsorts--one as
sumes cape OF matching velvet or self
material cOllarcd with either costly fur
or ostrich. The latter, by the way, is
an idea borrowed from Paris, where Il
hRs gained tremendous ascendency.

WHAT fun can decent people get ~out
w of making their friends utterly mis-
crabe?
How can they forget how they would
feel under the circumstances. SO COM
pletelv as to think MP such harm
full dangerous tricks to play on them
The only answer seems to be hat
they are no, decent people.
There must be something lacking in
their mentality which causes them to
find laughter in II situation which
would easily bring them to tears if
they were the victims of 1t themselves.
They should not be- dealt with light
IT, or laughed down: they should be
considered with Il judgment as serious as
the consequence of most of their jokes.
This would cure them. perhaps, or at
least pay them back.
For they are invariably towards ;
they always mask behind an nnony-
nous letter or q disguised telephone
voice
And they hate 1t if by any chance
they are caught in one OF their own
traps.
TNFORTl'NA NATELN this is very in
- frequent. for their friends are nearly

NEW MAGNEYING
VIOLIN INVENTED:
RADIO WAS CAUSE

Radio has caused the invention
of special ''magnifying violin"
1t is the product Of Harold Stern,
director of a New York hotel Or
chestra.
Stern has been broadcasting vio-
lin music from the large stations
around New York, using his inven-
ton as the instrument. He says he
made it especially for this purpose.
The "magnifying violin" is sim
liar to others except for the body
or sounding box. Instead of the
body, Stern has attached a cylin-
drical metal box out of which pro-
jects a horn.
When he draws the bow over the
string, Stern says he gets a much
louder sound out Of the instrument.
The lower tones are even superior
to those produced on the regular
violin, he adds.
Another surprising feature about
this ''magnifying violin" is that it
can be used as recording instru-
ment during the radio concerts. All
that need be done is separate the
cylindrical sounding box and horn
from the rest of the instrument and
attach it to the telephone receivers
Violin lessons at s cents each are
available at one London school.
