MODERN weavers are not to
49, be outdone by the smart
designers. Every day sees the
birth Of some new fabric which
plays an important part In the
mode. Nothing II 90 fatal to .
new model as q material no
longer In vogue.
Very popular for midsummer
wear is ''damoiselle, a fresh, soft
and silky material created by one
of the very chic weavers. It
comes in colorful plaids ana
stripes and Is most desirable for
sports wear. A striking collar, 3
wide leather belt, or a few colored
buttons are all that one needs for
trimming. Surah silk is much
the same. Tchinacrepe, heavier
than crepe de chine, and noveola
are used for the usual supply Of
crepe dresses.
For the tailleur, kasha remains
king, coming in light and dark
beige, light and dark gray, to-
gether with all the fashionable
pastel shades. Kashafyl, a fine
black and while lined design, 10
much used for tailored suits; and
burafyl, a mixed material in chew
ron squares, is an excellent fab
rio for heavier topcoats. Dorkas,
light fantastic weave Of cash
mere in a combination Of two nat
ural tones, is soft, supple ma
terial much in demand for tailored
use; and diartyx is another suc-
cess Of the season. It is a rough
silk and wool mixture that comes
in many color combinations and
is well adapted to sports suits
jackets and dresses. Saga Ia a
thinner and smoother serge weave
made in a large range Of colors.
Drapella makes many light sum-
mer coats, as well as crepella,
which is very attractive in white.
Crepalga, tussalga and poplaya are
new versions OF ALPACA. Friska
is a rather rough wool and cotton
weave, less supple than cashmere
and very nice for coats.
For dinner and evening dresses
there are myriads If diaphanous
printed chiffons and georgettes.
Lame, in two and three-color
brocades, is used, ard gold and
silver fulgurant and metallic laceS
are also prevalent.

the lion's?"
Eyes" said Bobby shaking his
head and looking from the cage
to the purring cat on my lap.
''You see both the cat and the
lion stalk through bushes to find
their prey and always keep their
eyes on their victims. They would
never have time to stop and
measure the distance OF the space
through which they go, so nature
has provided them with whiskers
which measure tho exact width
of their bodies. So when going
through a tight place both cats
and lions feel the width with
their whiskers and If their whisk-
ers can wiggle through, so can

Their eyes look alike, too"
suggested Bobby.
YES" said 1, "the eyes Of the
cat and the eyes of the lion are
very much alike. Do you see
how the pupils Of this cats eyes
and also of that lion are just
Sits? This is only in the day
time, but at night the pupils
widen to let in more light, so
they can see better in the dark
than most animals"

 In the bathrooms of the hotels where various delegations gave re- captions with dancing a feature, the Maharajah was the center of at- traction. Despite his rather ponder ous body he waltzed gracefully with some of the fairest ladies present. His bosom glittered with precious pendants and in the lobes of his ears shone huge pearls encircled with diamonds.
 The Maharajah came with a suite of fourteen persons. He proved a source of mterial delight to Geneva shopkeepers. He is reported to have spent $10,000 alone in the purchase of watches and binoculars, with an accent on binoculars, for which he seems to have a passion as a col lector. He developed into such a fantastic and interesting personality that eventually to escape the crowds he was forced to leave his hotel by the kitchen door to attain his auto mobile unmolested
 But if the Maharajah was ever in the public eye his spouse, the Mahar- anee, and her two Iadies-in-waiting. remained in obscurity. They went not to receptions, dinners or balls. ate their meals in the seclusion of their apartments and only emerged for drives in closed motor-cars.
