Spring Modes Too Stunning Fo'
Main Street Eyes
Must Be Broad.Minded to APP
preciate Seasons Styles
Designers Have Chosen to
Intrigue MiIadi's Fancy.
Says Connie-Picks Her
Own Dinner Gown, Smoke
Blue, Ostrich Trimmed.
BY CONNIE WING.

To appreciate and enjoy the
trend that Dame Fashion has
taken this spring, it is essential
that one must be broadminded
in every sense of the word. You
cannot see the beauty of the
modes through Main Street eyes,
they must be the eyes of a cos
mopolitan and traveller.
For instance we, in our tour
around the world, invaded many
countries. We enjoyed each.
The queer Chinese costumes ap-
pealed. In Italy do you remem-
Der the yards and yards of black
satin and gold braid that we saw
intermingled with bright colors?
The same blur of color we do
not recall in India, but there we
found the bizarre, the unreal and
the grotesque.
Seek New Ideas.
The designers, the people who
create out gowns. all realize that
we have seen a great deal Of the
world and that after seeing we can
not come back to the United States
and be satisfied with the mediocre,
so all of the time they are at
work in their studio visualizing
something new for madame.
This year, oh, we were tired Of
long tight garments, so ostrich was
suggested and now 1t is a fact of
fashion. Unless one can compre-
bend the unusual, the superb, the
utterly fascinating ostrich is lost
But l am sure that we will see
with New York eyes how lovely
and truly feminine a little strip of
ostrich can make a gown.
Worth this year is practically the
only house that is making evening
capes; the rest seem to prefer
coats, seem to consider them smart
er. but Worth, always different,
presents gorgeous creations and they
all are either ostrich or fur-trimmed.
The garments from Doeuillet, Jean
Patou, Renne, all Of the better de.
signers in fact, show a decided dis.
position for many feathers. The old
adage, Fine feathers make fine
Dlrds,' has come into its own,

cond trip to Europe with view to
founding mission near the mouth of
the Columbia. During his absence,
Father Mengarini continued in
charge of st. Mary's, engaged in the
discouraging task of trying to civilize
and Christianize the Flatheads. 1t
was remarkable what he accomplish
ed, as Father De Smet testified on
his return visit there. But to attain
the end sought, it was necessary,
the Fathers believed, to keep the In
dams under strict supervision in
their contact with the whites, and
this was found to be an impossibility
They were forced to be continually
on guard against the Blackfeet,
mixed bloods, and dissolute white
men who ultimately proved too
strong for them, and after few
years of prosperity led to the tenn
porary abandonment of the mission.
the history of these final years is
part of the story of Father Ravalli
