Owens in s'1'he First Year"

Miss Alice Owens the ninsome II;
tie bride in THE First Year at tho

husband that she had to make all her
own frocks, and perhaps that is why
they were SO simple and Yet in good
taste. At her first dinner party in her

10 the ground. Later. for her mind
reading test, she appeared in a frociS
or tanger.ne taffeta. The basque
bodice WAS sleeveless. and had mar
row bertha collar bordering the neck
line. A cluster of bright flowers was
placed at ote shoulder to add an eff

ribbons We're appliqued in successive
rows around the collar to give d sem

striped the skirt in three successive
to the crisp taffeta folds. A corsage
of flowers corresponding with those
on the shoulder added the finishing
touch TO the gown.

Satire in american Comedy:

TT has been repeatedly said that
- American comedy will never come
into it's own until it begins to show
signs of becoming satirical. And
speaking of this. George Kelly. au-
thor OF the satire, The Torch Bear
ers,' the vaudeville sketch. saws:
For some unknown reason, until
Just within the past few years, satire
has been sadly lacking I'm the popu-
lar American comedies. But the tide
has begun to come in. Satire is find
ing its own. And why not:
We. as a nation, are old enough
to appreciate gibe or two at our
"Wn' foolishness. our own absurd
fads, our own peculiar living condi-
TONS and all the mottled details that
go to make up our daily life. In the
field of literature. Sinclair Lewis has
done much to bring satire to the fore.
In the field of the drama, Connolly
and Kaufman. Booth Harrington.
George Ade and Harry Leon Wilson
have contributed much
AS to my own plays. "The Torch
Bearers and The Show OFF, which is
scheduled to open in the fall, | have
chosen satire as my idiom. It's great
FUN, but hard work. One must avoid
the biting. stinging sort of satire that
tails into the category of irony. The
light, essentially comic sort is the
hardest tS do. but the only Kind that
interests most of us. We like satire

When and Where to
Wear Colored Shoes

Secretly we all have longings for
the little red shoe It's just as natural,
observes a fashion writer, for women
to like the cut-out slipper Of colored
leather as it is for boys to banker for
red-topped boots.
Now a very conservative person
would tell US that colored shoes are
decidedly not in good taste They
might even 60 so far as to call them
vulgar" But-thank your stars, II
isn't the conservative persons who
make or set the styles.
Colored shoes are undoubtedly
pretty on the average foot. And this
is a peculiar fact-they tend to make
the foot appear smaller than dark
shoes. But one can't wear them tndIs-
criminately. That is where the dan
ger of the colored shoe lies.
A woman who can't afford the col
ored shoe as luxury TO be worn only
at appropriate times, should beware Of
them.
With certain afternoon costumes
they are not only permissible, but love
ly. The costume, however, must be
one whose beauty is augmented BY
the touch Of color In the shoe. II
must also be dressy costume, as the
colored shoe Is not for the severely
cut gown.

Have Cotton Wrap
Match Thin Dress
Separate Coats and Capes
Of Light Materials Are
Gaily Decorated.

The separate coats and capes ere
ated by the great dressmakers, whether
for afternoon or evening wear, stress
q lavish use Of embroidery, observes a
Paris writer in the New York Tribune.
Capes made Of cotton materials that
match cotton summer dresses are
deliberately beaded and embroidered
despite the fact that they are made Of
cotton fabrics.
Swinging grace characterizes many
Of the new topcoats, which vary only
in their trimming. as they are all
three-quarters to seven-eighths long
and cut with a full bias flare. An at
tractive three-quarters length flaring
coat Is developed from green cloth and
white buttons engraved in black.
One designer makes jackets OF knee
length that fare midway between
waist and knees, with the top portion
of the jacket cut perfectly straight.
This type Of jacket is particularly
adaptable to crepe de chine, although
he also develops them from cloth.
This designer shows coats of crepe de
chine which are made in the fashion of
a perfectly straight sack overcoat
covering the entire dress. The coats
differ from those of last year In both
collar and embroidery.
The collar used this season Is like q
huge roll and the embroidery covers
the entire surface of the coat. Occa-
sionally monkey fur is used for the
collar, but one may say that there is
relatively no fur used this season with
the exception Of silver fox.
Another firm has several very excel
lent cloth coats. One particularly at
tractive model is of green and gray
wool combined The outside Of the
coat is of the gray appliqued with
green, while the inside is Of green
When the coat is open it shows full
