BUNGALOW is EAST INDIAN

Origin in That Country Many
Centuries Ago.

The East Indian dialects, which ara

others, are also responsible for the ins
PRODUCTION of the word bungalow
into English, though like it's halls
brothers, this word has been slightly
maltreated in its adaptation. In El4
1iots History of India as Told by It's
Own Historians" appears the follows
ing quotation under the date of 1633s
under the rule of the Bengalis, a
party of Frank merchants, inhabitanta
of Sundip, came trading into Satgaw.
One kos above that, they occupied
some ground on the banks of an estu-
airy. Under the pretext that build
ing was necessary for their transaca
tons in buying and selling, they erect
ed several houses in the Bengal styles
Apparently, this quotation gives Its
tie Gle. to the origin of the word

finds in Streynshams Masters Diarya
"It was thought fit to set up bengaIea

their sloops and vessels"

Plaits Mode Is
One w ell-Liked

After the season has opened, after
all Of the startling things have been
exhibited by both American and French
designers, after fashionable women
gave had chance to select with care
hose creations that they consider
worthy of their notice, then comes a
blending, an amalgamation of the two
Slowings. And the ultimate result is
not always what one might expect or
wish it to be, observes a fashion writer
in the New York Times. However.
there is usually large proportion of
good sense Incorporated in the union
and enough of general good looks to
make US all appear well dressed ac-
cording to popular taste.
All this having been told, we must
see to the various ways in which the
general principles are carried out and
in that process there is an inexhausti-
BILE fund for research and thought, not
to mention experimentation.
There are points about the American
woman's figure which will not lend
themselves to the lines of French
cloths. They must necessarily be
adapted and changed to our own lines
and proportions, and while some of the
designs are spoiled by the change
others seem to take on an added in
terest. Then there are our own home
grown varieties, keyed to suit the
American woman and no one else on
earth. If one of these can be exclusive
enough then it is a find, indeed. Some
times the material makes it distinctive
enough. Again, there are little varia-
lions in cut which accomplish the same
end. There are all sorts of ways of
achieving the goal when the undertake
ing is handled by an artist.
Straight Lines and PIaits.
Even the French designers find thar
the old standard lines are surviving
with a persistence which they might
wish otherwise. AS fashions stand
now, indeed, you cannot go wrong on
the straight lines that have proved
themselves becoming to your own style
OF figure.
Plaits, this season, have found a fast
place in popular favor. There are
whole dresses which are plated. There
are blouses laid in finely placed plaits.
There are plated inserts and plated
capes and plated coats. And MANY of
the frocks which are expressive of the
seasons styles have plaits Incorporated

there revelation of the fact that more

HIS ACQUAINTANCE NOT WIDE
Exasperated Irishman About Willing to
Admit That He Did Not
Know Anybody.

A typical Irishman who bore the
equally typical Irish name Of Pat was
summoned recently for jury service
in one Of the superior courts. His
Irish accent and his quaint and can
did assertions afforded the other mem
bers of the venire much merriment.
Incidentally Pat was much concerned
over the fact that his service on the
jury caused him to be absent from his
regular employment where he received
$3.50 a day as compared with $3.50,
the salary for jury service.
''Do you know the attorney for the
defense" an attorney asked Pat one
day in examining a venire preced-
ing a trial.
''Oi DON'T" replied Pat.
"Are you acquainted with any of the
parties to this suit?' he was asked.
"Oim not" replied Pat.

piled panels all cut alike and posted
at intervals to simulate a veritable
overskirt. In this case the underdress
is composed Of one of those specially
and fancifully woven fabrics that have
their coloring of many shades and
tones in a weaving that is unusual
enough to make it notable. Over that
fiat foundation there is enough of blue
serge to establish the frock as one of
the blue serge company of the season.
The trimming, so far as the skirt is
concerned, lies underneath instead of
on top, as is generally the case.
Long, Straight Coat Worn.
AS the spring days grow warmer, we
see more and more Of the long, straight
coats upon the streets. Some of these
are exquisitely embroidered, others are
made of those hrocaded stuffs, and still
others are covered with machine en-
broidery which is more or less beauti-
full, depending largely upon pattern
and execution.
Then there are the longer coats made
with some attention to individual de-
sign and provided with trimmings that
make them notable. One of these Is

achieve fullness and a general width
for the coat which gives it style. This
coat has accomplished this same end
by using wide and gracefully falling
revers in connection with the wide,
trimmed cuffs.
The tailored suits have skirts that
are split on one side. Indeed, they are
very often real wrap-around skirts
that leave an opening on the left side
clear to the waistline, but with so
much material left on the under side
that they do not flare open. BY this
method they are kept tight and at the
same time they offer all Of the comfort
and ease that a much wider and per-
haps more bulky skirt might do.
The Hat of Wider Brim.
There are rumors that hat of wider
brim will be more the thing for warmer
summer days, and really this is always
the case as the sun shines more bright
ly. Therefore the information can be
depended upon. But for these larger
brimmed shapes there will be only lit
tie spots of trimming, only combina-
lions of color that create a subtle eff
feet of trimming all by themselves.
The short coats, as the season adj
vances or as the designers advance in
their showings for the season become
shorter and straighter. Although they
are likely to be embroidered until every
inch of space is covered, they are show
ing less and less of trimming or any
applied decoration.
The hat that goes with this jacket,
while it is an eXaggeration of the
mushroom shape with its trimming
none the less illustrates the fashion. 1t
is made of brown straw to match the
binding of the coat and the silk trim
ming has lighter tone on the outside
with the darker shade used for a fac
ing.
Americans have been severely criti-
cized by foreign artists of dressing for
their habit of dressing alike. They have
been accused of looking like so many
automatons as they walk upon the
streets, for the reason that their
clothes are cut over the same patterns,
are keyed to the same color notes, are
hung to just the same skirt levels, are
fitted and adjusted as though measured
to scale. It is serious criticism from
one angle, from the point of view of
the old-world fashions. But then there
is another consideration-that the
American women may be- after all,
evolving to a state where they wiR
dress more In uniform than in any
other way.
Little Change in Ten Years.
The other day an interesting woman
who keeps what is known as special
ty shop was heard to give her opinion
on the state of dressing as it exists
now in America. "Do you realize" she
said, "that during the last ten years
there has been very little appreciate
change in the dressing of the modern
American woman? We have changed
the length of the skirts, the placing of
the waistline and the cutting and hang
ing of the sleeves, but for the rest the
lines of the gown have remained, in the
last analysis, uninterrupted and I'M
changed" 1t seemed like a startling
statement-too broad to be true-but
upon due thought and consideration che
was found to be right

F'risch has all three and he is better
student than he has ever been. If he
works steadily throughout the season
he is likely to bring home report of
drumming and fielding. which are the
three RS of the diamond.
Other Clubs Fielding Poorly.
He is being helped onward by the
fact that the defense developed in the
other National League clubs this year
is vile. When you look for something 6
that shows up well against the
Giants attack. figures and facts deal
You an immediate wallop. When
Scott was hurt there were some who
thought the Giants might suffer. but
they are plugging along as if they
never heard Of Scott. And Frisch is
playing better ball every day.
In four games since he joined Pitts
burgh Rawlings has accepted twen-
ty-eight chances. Four games are
not a season. but four games that
average seven chances a game are
proof that Rawlings is one of the best
defensive players in the National
League. 1t may be an exaggeration
to sag that Rawlings won the world
series for the Giants in 1921. but II is
not stretching facts to say that Raw
ling saved the last game of the Sc
riea because the stop which he made
of Bakers hit was only the sensa-
ttonaE beginning of a climax that was
even more sensational
When Rawlings was with Boston
and later with Philadelphia he proved
his worth a defensive ball player
and he wasn't always shy on hits
either. He is far too good to Ian
guiSh on the bench in a league that
needs balls players as the National
does and the Pittsburgh club now
is, better off in its weakest point than
1t has been since 1920. Get a man
who can plug the holes around sec
ond base and see how the clouds of
care lift from the brows of the pitch
ers. When a pitcher thinks they
aren't getting 'em for him" he is
about as useful rs a cold pancake.
Haney Keeps Up Good Work.

Louis, with Scott playing better for
the YSnks than last year, with Gal
