1420-B. FOR THE FIRST DRESS
THAT THE HOUSEWIFE PUTS ON
IN THE MORNING WE SUGGEST
THIS ONE, MADE EITHER IN COT
TON OR WASH SILK.
In their effort to counteract con-
fusion in making a hasty toilette,
smart women provide themselves with
several dresses of this particular type
They find them easy to get in and
out of, and not hard to keep in con-
dition. This one Is especially f1atter-
ing in line. 1t conforms sufficiently
to fashionable requirements not to
appear unattractive even at the dinner
table If one has guests and is obliged
to cook the meal. The silhouette is
the straight, slim one, full above the
waist and narrow through the hips,
with enough flare at the bottom to
assure comfort. The sleeves are
built for freedom, and the yoke ter

adds enormously to its chic appear-

featured in jacket and skirt for the
compose suit is one of the big items
this season.
If brown is your favorite color
and nothing is more in keeping with
a country landscape-you have many
smart shades to choose from, ranging
from soft, rosy tones to a deep. dark
seal. Henna, rust and mahogany are
particularly important. One out
standing sports suit noted at recent
showing featured a beige tweed her
ringbone jacket, cut on short. boxy
lines and combined with a rust skirt;
a grass-green suede jacket and a
rust beret. Another rust suit favored
striking contrast in yellow and prune
accessories.
If your color is green, you'll rejoice
in the knowledge that no hue has
greater fashion acceptance. Gray,
blue and yellow casts are all included,
with emerald, olive and cedar three
shades that adapt themselves beauti-
fully to the new tweeds. Olive green
and gold are combined by one cou-
turiere in suit with loose back, three
quarter coat with deep back slashes.
And now Paris launches a new
group of purplish shades for every
thing from tweeds to evening wear

earlier in the season, are aubergine, a

is paired off with prtlne jersey

is famous Irish oath, and one
which Is considered of the most bind
ing character. There Is an ancient
rhyme in Croker's Fairy Legends"
which sings of the generous qualities
OF the Sullivans:
"Nulla manus
Tam liberals
Atque generals
Atque Universalis
Guam Sullivanus.'
There is another very strange tale
relating how magnanimous were the
Sullivans To the home of the earliest
known Sullivan came a one-eyed
Druid. His name was Levawn. Eochy,
the host, received him cordially, and
strange to say, Eochy (the future Sui
livan) had only one eye himself. When
the Druid departed, he declined all the
gifts offered him by his entertainer,
but demanded the gift of his only
eye. Impelled by a generosity, which
had never said Nay" to any request,
Eochy complied with the request Of
this strange guest. A holy man living
with Eochy, enraged at such ingrati-
tude and cruelty, fervently prayed that
the Druid's one eye would depart from
its place, and together with his own,
become the property of Eochy. This
appeal to heaven was heard, Eochy
was miraculously possessed with two
good eyes, and the Druid departed
blinded forever. Thus, this peerless
host and his posterity have carried
this unparalleled instance Of gener-
osity with them for all time-in their
surname, "Suil-Levawn"-whic means
"Levawn's eye"
One of the early representatives Of
the name of Sullivan. in America was
Owen Sullivan, who came to this coun-
try about 1928 and settled in Berwick,
Me. His son, James Sullivan, was
Governor of Massachusetts,. Owen
Sullivan was a descendant of Dermod
O'Sullivan Of Dunboy Castle, in County
Cork, Ireland.
The coat of arms is ascribed to this
settler. There we're other settlers bear
ing this name who established them
selves In other localities.

BIZ BARBARA BELL.

Wv WHILE we still look to the
W. British for country clothes
v of authentic stamp, it is
Paris, as usual, that puts
the furnishing touches or
sportswesr this season. New and in

themes, rugged tweeds and warm,

have the latest thing in which to
celebrate a crisp FAN week end in
the country.
A good tweed suit is the piece de
resistance of your week end wardrobe
and st inning ones are at your
disposal. Tailored hip-length jackets,
belted or not, as you choose, single
or double breasted, in boxy or Norfolk
styles. COZ 1bine with slim skirts that
introduce pleats in tricky ways to
give them comfortable walking width.
The newelt of these have box-pleated
backs, tn, fronts unadorned except
perhaps b. pockets. A long matching
coat of the fitted REFER or straight
fur-trimn ed type is smart and
practical complement.
Simplici ,y of cut and perfection in

A pale slate blue is an interesting
shade. Raised-stitch cardigans in Fall
colors offer permissible variety.
Knitted Sports Frocks.
Rabbits hair knits play prominent
roles in smart sportswear collections.
Two-tone plaids for entire frocks or
for blouses and skirts combined with
monotones, as well as gay and dis
tinctive stripes, display charming
flair for color. All stress simplicity
of line, with interest at the neck, as
illustrated by one model from an
important sportswear house which
features bottle green rabbits hair
trimmed with flexible silver metal
scarf of the draped cowl type.
Guimpe sweaters provide new and
youthful idea for the three-piece frock
of simulated hand-knit zephyr. A
sleeveless overblouse which is hip
length and belted combines with a
contrasting guimpe, rolled at the neck
line and wrists. The model noted
was introduced in orange and brown.
Monograms appear everywhere. In
itials are worked in line down the
front of the blouse of knitted frock
in colors which match the jaunty
scarf. They identify the wearer's
hatbands, they pop up pertly on the
pocket tabs of shirt waist dresses, or
on the bright yokes or dark-toned
frocks. Nor are they confined to silk,
cotton and wool. Paris has conceived
the inspiration of appliqueing metal
and leather initials on blouses, and
even coat lapels!
Leather trimmings, incidentally, are
being stressed by well-known knit
wear designer, who goes one step
further and ensembles them with the
shoes worn with each costume.
Smooth leather belt and buttons are
matched with the smooth leather ac-
cents of a suede shoe, in one instance,
and in another a pigskin belt and
buttons are linked with shoe of
grained leather. Shiny satin accents
on a frock are mirrored in a shoes
smooth patent tip. Sometimes the

same type Of stitching which trims
dress is repeated in the stitching
which decorates the shoe.
Tweed-type knits with interesting
surface variation are strikingly used
by one sportswear house. One side
of the fabric may feature a fine
multicolor tweed, while the other
forms a hairy-surfaced plaid. These
companion fabrics not only appear
in dresses and suits, but in matching
accessories also. One model was ac-
companied by a hat created from
the tweed side of the material and
a bag made from the plaid side.
Paris Goes High Hat.
Paris reserves the right to change
her mind. especially where millinery
is concerned. With the result that
after hectic few weeks of pancake
berets and vanishing crowns she
suddenly switches to hats that stress
height, thereby managing to make
everything else look sadly out of
date.
But since high crowns are be-
coming to so many women, this new
innovation will doubtless meet with
approval, particularly as endless smart
interpretations are pouring into the
shops. Sports felts are given lot
more dash by this nonchalant sill
houette.
For your tweeds, there's a manpish
sports felt conceived by Maria Guy
with crown that is higher in front
than in back, and with soft fold at
the top. Another tips the crown high
at one side. The original of this
one was a mannish gray mixture.
You will like the Tyrol hats, too. that
turn up in back and swing a bright
feather high above the crown-as
adapted to tramping about the coun-
try and to Alpine mountain climbing.
To increase this feeling of height,
some milliners place a band around
the crown near the top of the hat.
For more formal wear, Paris goes
for inspiration to the statue of
Chinese goddess and from its head

of your country tweed will set the
keynote of your costume and is not
matter to be dismissed lightly. But
with blouse and sweater manufac-
turers hard at work on the right
answers, the problem is being sniartly
solved for you.
Bright wool blouses are one OF the
best bets for the outdoor girl. You'll
find them in lightweight jersey and
flannel in loose smock types and
tailored shirt waist styles. Belted over
blouses. too, that may carry an extra
matching skirt to form a two-piece

week ender. Watch the contrast

your tweed, or branching into a bold
harmonizing shade If your suit is
monotone. These are all new: Turquois
with raspberry, olive with brown,
gold with olive, yellow with prune,
eggplant with poison green, amethyst
with rust, purple with green and light
gray with rust.
Velveteen, the new supple and wash
able kind, is another important choice
for blouses and extra jackets. Plain
color ones are effective with bright
plaid wool skirts, and. similarly. plaid
velveteen will add dash to a monotone
wool. If the neckline is high and
tailored, as it's likely to be, wear
with it one of those smart shirt waist
clips that come in sports metals in
novel shapes or monogram form.
Twin sweater sets of the Brooks
type are classic. Wear them clipped
together at each side of the neck in

sports clips designed for the purpose

NEW YORK, February 3.-Current
strength in raw silk prices reflects
conditions in Japan, the worlds larg-
est producer, and in the United
States. the largest consumer Of that
commodity.
Yokohama and Kobe markets have
firmed because of important short

justification when one views the re-
cent moves in yen, which currency
is being forced lower by Japan to
maintain her export trade.
Active Demand Due.
New York raw silk marts, both fu-
lures and spot, have been anticipating
an active cloth demand for Spring.
The strike Of last Autumn, on part OF
the dyers, weavers and dressmakers,
curtailed mill operations. which in
turn reduced taklngs of raw silk. On
any sort of cloth demand pickup,
mills will have to buy raw silk. Then,
too, the late Spring season may be
helped by the promotional campaign
of the International Silk Guild.
The present Japanese silk cocoon
crop approximates 637,039,579 pounds,
or 1871 per cent more than in 1882.
