Paris Designer Achieves
Bizarre Effects in Chic
Spring Models.

Renee specializes in painted kasha
and jersey cloth with cubist anu
geometrical designs in her new spring
models. She features satin and crepe
de chine blouses Of every length, says
Paris correspondent in the New
York Herald-Tribune. that are painted
with blocks like the wooden toy bricks
a child plays with, and have, in addi'
ton, group of animals, such as
pair Of monkeys or elephants, painted
on one side. These are difficult to de-
scribe with any hope of conveying the
right impression, but they are bizarre
and attractive.
The main color of Renee's collec-
tton is gray. She uses it in suitings
and covert coatings for tailor-mades
and coats, some short and some
three-quarter length. She also uses
much gray jersey cloth and kasha,
painted in odd designs, but always in
the most discreet shadings. Beige,
too, is prominent, as are the lovely
shades Of brown, Of which Renee has
always been so fond. She uses black,
bottle and Robin Hood green, almond
green, bois de rose, navy blue and
light sapphire, rose color, red and
apricot.
Another innovation Of 3enee's this
season is her return to the use Of taf-
fetas, which have not seen the light
of day since 1916. She has the most
delightful model in bottle green reps,
the coat fastening with bow at the
side Of the neck, being heavily
strapped WITH green taffeta. The dress
that accompanies it Is of taffeta, fair
ly full as far as the skirt is concerned
and trimmed with some strapping Of
the reps, including a narrow panel
down the center front that is trimmed
with a row of small buttons to match.
There is a charming taffeta tailor

How to Detect Natural From Artificial Silk

Useful and beautiful as artificial
silks undoubtedly are, one likes to be
able to distinguish them from the real
siIkworm-spun silks, says the Kansas
City Star.
You will notice, first OF all, as you
look at the shimmering lengths of
cloth on the silk counter, that the
artificial or "fiber" silks have par
ticularly high gloss.
Then, try wetting a sample of arti-
fetal silk in water-you will notice
that it has a gelatin-like, sticky feel.
Your artificial silk will become weaker,
too, when wet, though it will become
strong once more when you let it dry.
The final determining test for arti-
ficiality in silks is to unravel thread
and see how many f1laments it COM
prises. You readily can detect arti-
fetal silk, since one yarn of it will be
made up Of nearly twenty filaments. II
these filaments come apart easily, and
do not have the twisted look of a real
silk thread. your proof Is still moro
conclusive.
The chemist. realizing that silk Is the

White Draws Fashions
Approval for Season

At every exhibition of fashions for
spring, white stands out cOnspicuously
as the shade destined for pronounced
vogue. Sport dresses, afternoon frocks
evening gowns and coats and wraps
for every occasion are developed in
white materials of varied textures
The ribbed silks like failIe and ben
galine are frequently employed in the
fashioning of smart little one and two
piece frOcks.
Kasha, cashmere, flannel and fabrics
of similar character are used for coats
while the loveliest evening gowns are
developed In lustrous satin finished
crepe, faille and chiffon.
Recently an exclusive speciality shop
emphasized in a most interesting dis.
play of new models the Importance Of
white evening frocks, enlivened with
touches of gold in the form of delicate
embroidery in metal threads, fine bead
ing, bit of gold lace or a piping of
gold ribbon.

turing a substance something like the
natural silk coming from the magic
little spinning wheel of the silkwOrm.
And he has hit upon cellulose as be-
ing the best basis for a successful
substitute for that substance He gets
the cellulose from cotton waste or
from the pulp of the spruce tree.
Having managed to concoct a salts
factory substance, the next step Of
the chemist is to force that substance
through small tubes, which correspond
to the openings through which the
silkworm sends it's silken filaments He
uses delicate tubes, either of glass
or platinum, for the purpose: and he
arranges for the ends of the tubes to
