n REENWICH VILLAGE, long celebrated as
tho sanctuary of free speech and free
spirits, has now yielded the very latest de-
signs in womcn's dress. Under the patronage Of
Kate Scabrook the Village designers, wcavcrs
and modstes recently lifted the bushcl measure
from their shining light and put the world wise
to the real thing in wearing apparel
Mrs. Seabrook is the owner and operator Of
a coffee house in Wavcrey Place New York
Not everybody knows where it is, for no sign is
out and no effort to bring in a general patronage
has over been made. On this account the coffee
house has more the atmosphere Of club than an
inn. It IL principally a place where the bobbed-
haired inteligentsia Of Washington Square may
invite their souls, roast chestnuts and debate the
difference between mutation and evolution.
Not long ago the girls in the Village decided
they were tired Of being sartorlally misrepro-
sented to the Philistine world. 1t was the i'm.
preston north Of Fourteenth street and out In
the wilds of Iowa and the steppes Of Georgia,
that a Greenwich Village lassie was all dressed
up for anything from Grande Bal to a shower
bath when she was wearing pair OF horn trimmed
spectacles, a calico smock and q set Of sandals.
so the dressmakers decided they would put on
show. And 1t was only natural that "l56"
should be the theatre of their sartorial parade

and Ethel Plummer drew posters Achmed Ab

Mrs. Seabrook presided in blue green an,
silver dress and long jade earrings. The
show ran for three nights The coffee house
was crowded. The cognoscenti of Sheridan
Square were josted n bit by slicked-up Phil
istnes from uptown and out-of-town, but on
the whole it was n great party from first
TO last.
