BUTTONS : BUTTONS
Rx EIoRENcE CLARK

The, buttons or your dress may really ''button" something or they may not. But they simply must be there as evil dence of the absolute .up-to-dateness Of your frock.
 This dictum comes from very re- liable source and it is borne out by the early spring dresses which show but tons used extensively as trimming.
 Tailored dresses just naturally take in a row of buttons for trimming. The new severely tailored suits show two or four buttons fastening the coat. It isn't at all surprising to find them on clothes of this type, but when you see an orderly row of buttons decorating dressy afternoon gown, there IS no doubt that they are coming in for more than casual attention.
 One dress has lacy little epaulettes over the shoulders and several lace ruffles set into the slashed skirt. This is not at all the sort of frock you would expect to see trimmed with buttons, but they are there, placed very strik- ipgly on the front. This model is of brown satin crepe in soft wood shade. The buttons are of imitation carved ivory, the dull yellowish tones blend ing perfectly with the brown of the satin. The lace is of the same color value as the buttons, and has a gold thread worked into the pattern in cheer along the subdued richness of the rest of the coloring.
 This particular frock shows detail that is also being seen on the newer dresses, and although it has nothing to do with buttons, it is nevertheless worth noting. A sash begins with a little frilled puff at each hip and is tied in wide bow at the back. This sash makes it possible to pull the dress tightly around the hips or to wear 1t loosely as you think best.
 But to get back to buttons. They are of all sizes, ranging from those as large ones to tiny ones not bigger than a shoe button. Many of them are ball-shaped. Then thero are flat square ones, made of wood or of a composition that is much lighter in weight. Where large buttons are used they simply must be light or you can imagine how woefully they would drag a dress askew.
 Do remember this point if you should happen to add 2, row to an old frock. You might be, carried away by the lovely colorings of some of them, forgetting such a prosy thing as the weight, There are buttons of corn flower blue ringed in deeper blue vio- let, others of rich dark red, pumpkin, tortoise brown and dull green. These are but a few of the brilliant hues that are seen. Crystal, amber and cut steel make other stunning buttons that would add dash and character to a dull frock
 The way in which buttons are placed on a dress is very important. One ex- ample of clever placing was shown on dress of black poplin. which was slim and straight to point somewhat be- low the hips, where two fiounces slant ed diagonally across the lower part of the skirt. On the flounces, in the cen ter. were two vertical rows of cut steel buttons. A scarf of gray poplin was draped from one shoulder to the top of the upper fiounce, and one end hung a few Inches below the skirt. Now this frot:k was made fag m6ree attractive by the buttons and the wsysiH which they weie placed than it could possibly have

 "Of course you blame me-" Lois de- clared, the tears rushing to her eyes. "You never blame Marian! You do not even ask her where she was last night, though she went off with q man and did not get home until all hours. But just because our pastor happens to call when she is out, and when you are. out, and I entertain him so that he stays longer than might be expected, Marian jeers at me, while you scold me for resenting it!" a' James Horton brought his fist down upon the table with a thump.

 You do not admit, Father, that Marian was as wrong as I was," Lois remarked stiffly. "Nor do you ask her where she was last night"
 Marian interposed quickly. There is no need of his asking. Dad, I was

THERE Is CONFUSION"
BY Jessie Redmon Fauset
Published by Messrs. Boni Liveright,
81 West 48th St, New York City
Price $500. Postage 10c.

In this story Of colored people and
their cultural life, Peter Bye, the hero,
charming, able, but sometimes ire
sponsible, learns at the last that he
has white blood in his veins. His
grandfather was mulatto.
Turning to his wife he says: See
dear, this IS the result Of all used
to be. Ny ingratitude, my inability
to adopt responsibility, my very irres-
oluteness come from that strain of
white Bye blood When one remem-
bers the number Of white men in hc-
ton who, on learning that they have a
strain Of colored blood in their veins,
turn brutes and rapists, one can see
the pleasure that Miss Fauset had in
penning those lines.
But this should not be quoted as
typical Of the book. Its satire Is very
occasional, perhaps unconscious. * is
4 story written by a colored woman
Ut distinction Of detailing the life Of q
group of young people, the most Of
them born into the most cultured
circle Of the colored world 1t takes
them from their childhood into their
married life, and details the many adj
ventures and vicissitudes that befaIl
them on their way. This attempt,
however, to tell Of SO many people j.
the most serious criticism Of the book
There are three good stories in it.
that OF Joanna and Peter, the hero
and heroine, told with some detail;
that Of Maggie EiIersley, the best
drawn Of the characters, climber
who wants to be well established so-
cially more than anything else in life;
and that Of Vera, the white coIored
girl and her dark lover. We only get
glimpses Of them, and the great
moments Of their lives are hurried
over TO get On with the story. But
