OLD KING TUT'S

NEW YORK, April 9.-FickIe
Fifth avenue is turning cold
shoulder to old King Tut and his
Egyptian styles. shop owners said
today. Fifth avenue has not come
to resemble the Nile. as was ex-
pected a month ago. The passion
to paint hieroglyphics on every
thing has ceased.
Interest in things Egyptian

fashionable shop manager. "It got
old over night. We were lucky not
to design any more gowns in the
Egyptian note, for it is almost i'm.
possible to sell them. Then, too,
Egyptian styles are becoming to
only q few women"
Although an occasional actress
gets her photograph in the news
papers by wearing a "Tut-Ankh-
Amen hat" or an occasional Egyp-
tan freak novelty is introduced,
such novelties aren't bought by the
public. 1t was a shock to find only
one "Tut" wrap in the Easter pa
rade here. 1t is distinct disap-
pointment for designers, many of
whom are in Egypt at the present
time studying the ancient art for
adaptation to American fashions.
"As far as we are concerned,
King Tut is dead" another shop
manager said. For q month or
two the world almost revived him.
