PARIS, Feb. 20-Paris dress makers have new basketful of fabric names to play with. The jargon of springtime materials is enriched by a string of new words, each with a meaning, even if it is not clear to the uninitiated.
 Paul Rodier, French master of the looms. is responsible for many of the new words incorpor. ated into the language of fash ion. He discovered and first man. ufactured kasha, which is the root word of dressmakers' fashion vo. cabulary for day time.
 Prem this root and one or two others M. Rodie; builds his langu- age of fabr'e-.

 Many Rodier fabrics show bor-, ders or all-oyer designs of alter mating triangles. Oriental de- signs, in small figure, are impor- tant in the printed and woven silks. Small, geometrical pat terms predominate but there are few large flower designs also among the printed silks.
 For sport clothes Rodier has created new jersey called "djer- sakasha moussondella" which looks like woven fronds of os- trich feathers laid close together. Mile plis," or "a thousand folds" is another new material for sport wear that Is having a vogue.

WOMEN MEET
 IN CONVENTION
National League of Women Voters to Review
 Suffrage Results

WASHINGTON, Feb c0-The woman voters participation in the 1928 presidential campa'g 'ga and her responsibilities toward gov. ernment will receive attention from politically-minded women who meet in Chicago April 23-2S for ths convention of the Ma tioral League of Women Voters. More than 50G delegates are es- pected from the 45 states in which the league is organized.
 h selecting Chicago for it's eighth national convention the league will return to the scene of it's first convention. It was just eight years ago that the league was assembled for it's national meeting in conjunction with the fifty-first and final convention of the National American Women Suffrace Association.
 When the league had its first convention federal woman sui frage had not been granted. What eight years of woman suffrage has meant to women voters of this country will be stressed in all programs of the coming April convention. Special cognizancc will be given to the progress wo- men have made in the field of practical politics.
 In these eight years the league has had two presidents, Mrs. Maud Wood Park of Portland, Maine. serving the first four years, and Miss Belle Sherwin of Cleveland, now completing her second term. Miss Katharine Ludington of Lyme, Conn, is the only member of the 1928 board of directors who was a member of the national board in 1920.
