Lace Edging Is Popular
for Brides Kerchiefs

1t has been a long time since q girl
tucked away her wedding handker-
chief, bordered with duchess lace, for
a keepsake. But the new brides will
have chance to revive an old custom
and at the same time win be following
a late mode. The Iace-edged handker-
chiefs are back and the laceworkers
are being given new chance for their
ingenuity and fine work.
There Is a new type of work shown
on the edges Of these fine handker-
chiefs. Fine net Is sewed around the
handkerchief, then the finest embroid-
cry Is done on the linen and net. Some
Of the petals Of the flowers look as II
they were applIqued. These hand
kerchiefs are done in France and the
work Is LET out to the different fami-
lies who have each their own individ.
uaI designs as they do In making fine
laces.
Many handkerchiefs come from
Spain. These have the touches Of Ma
deira work On them, but In very zine
patterns. frequently done In color.
ChIldren's handkerchiefs In finer
grades are In soft coIors with small
animals woven In or embroidered on
them. Figured lines are also used In
their handkerchiefs as well as for
those Of the grown-ups. In fact, these
figured linens. usually a white figure
on a colored ground. are quite loud
and dashing, perfect for sports wear.

some charming innovations TO which
the lovely new stuffs are most happily
adapted
The straight silhouette carries on,
because In It are shown to best adj
vantage the handsome brccades, the
splendid metal weaves, the velvets and
the heavy silks and satins. The softer
goods. the lovely chiffons, both plain
and embossed. the pretty gauzes and
other novelties are especially suitable
for the gowns the younger set will
wear for afternoon and informal eve
ming and for their chic dancing frocks.
Many innovations break the line with
flounces. plaitings. gOdets, bias folds
and lifted drapery. None Of this gives
the impression of lntricacy, but it car

Richness in the heavier materials,

Simplicity Important
in Clothes for Women

Simplicity, as every woman who
makes a study Of fashion knows. is
the fundamental OF true chic, and that
simplicity is not to be confused with
uninteresting plainness Is proved By
the surprisingly large number OF
simple little frocks that have been
designed.
The garcOnne modes of the season
just past are to certain extent re-
fiected in the newer fashions. but
subtly modified and disguised so that
there is no possibility Of mistaking
one OF the new models for a gown
Of last years vintage.
Both one and two-piece models are
shown and in the twO-piece affairs
there Is a tendency to exploit the
longer tunic. However, for those who
find a shorter length more becoming
there are number OF interesting
models Kasha Is one Of the best
liked materials, especially in a shade
OF beige, while black with touches
Of red or bright blue is fayorite

Navy blue kasha Is chosen for a
model which has a collar Of white
kasha bound with Chinese blue. A
similar color combination trims the
cuffs and forms bands around the
skirt. The button-holes are bound
with white
At the moment the new shade Of
bois de rose (rosewood) is most con
spicuously displayed and is chosen
for tailored suits, for sports clothes
and for evening frocks. It is a par

A very interesting fashion trend in

and semitaiIored garments despite the
seemingly overwhelming popularity of
fancifully trimmed sets and single
pieces.

This is May Day.
So it will be till midnight and even
later. Tomorrow the holiday con-
tinues. In Russia, May Day is celeb
rated two days in succession. To-
morrow is children's day. On the
second of May all Moscow will belong
to the new generation. They will be
the chief concern of all.
This evening is best spent in an
industrial suburb, in the workers
club. There you will see the real
face of revolutionary Russian proleta-
riat
Let's go then. The place is way out
of town, in locality called "Lenin's
Settlement" The hall is packed to
overflowing. Metal workers all, men
and women. For the day of inter
national solidarity, all foreign Com
munists now in Moscow have been
modified to speak to the Russian
workers. The crowd is disciplined.
The crowd is attentive. 1t does not
stir when foreign language is spok-
en-. It is eager to hear the transla-
ton. 1t asks pertinent questions show
ing intelligence and a keen interest
for the workers struggle the world
over.
When the official speeches are over,
men from the ranks rise to tell Of
their May Day experiences Of pre-
revolutionary times. Hard times they
were. May celebrations were under
ban. Secret circles of workmen con-
spired to defy automatic law. There
were gendarms, Cossacks, brief ten
minute demonstrations, persuit, whip

those simple words.
