former Washington, d. c., woman
and at one time was prominent In
feminine activities there.
1t was she who arranged our debut
before the manneJ Juins. who seemed
as intrigued over IN American solid
green shirt with yellow tie as We
were abashed by unashamed legs,
tightly fitted figures and short, slit,
narrow skirts.
We were seated on leather bench
that went around three sides of a
large room. Every few minutes o
model would come in wearing what
we heard described as heavy gold
lame or a sealskin suit. She would
come walking toward us as though
she were going to say Hello" Then
suddenly she would stop, turn around
several times, and then thrust out
card with the number Of the gown
on it. Then she would move on
toward some Of the terribly we'll
dressed people seated further along
the leather bench.
Talk In . Salon.
There were many things we didn't
understand-much talk Of high
waist for evening and q normal for
day, mixed up with rapturous eulo-
gies Of Phrygian bonnets and Mari
anne effects, "Chamois Hunter" hats
with Hapsburg feathers, and all that
sort Of thing.
But we did notice and could un-
derstand that red was popular color,
particularly a dazzling danger red;
that coronation crowns and royal
blue velvets were quite the thing;
that it was all right for women to
have tweed evening coats II they were
the right Scotch tweed, and that ami

/, always bears their taste in mind, since
her largest buyers are Americans.
Regarding the Hollywood influence
Nine. Schiaparelli had very decided
views.
The stars in the cinema are gor.
geously gowned," she said, 'but as
determining factor in styles their
influence is exceedingly dreadful! The
Hollywood couturiers design clothes
that are ideal for use on the stage,
but for everyday wear they are i'm
possible! Can you imagine a lady
choosing facial makeup. like those
needed on the screen? No. No more
should they pick clothes that are show
clothes rather than smart ones"
But where" we asked do you get
your ideas for clothes? Do you con.
slider current events, such as the COM
ing coronation in England, to select
colors and motifs?"
Nine. Schiapareli shrugged.
Where does a writer get his ideas?
Or a painter? You Just have them.
Sometimes current events exert an
influence but that is because they
are on your mind anyway. not be-
cause you turn your attention to them.
When a person has to grope for ideas
they are finished. ] do find, however,
that travel, with its bewildering
changes Of shapes and colors, is a
help-more to the state OF mind than
as q source of ideas"
Never Sees Collections.
Besides her own, OF course, Nine.
Schiaparelli has never attended .
showing of a style collection. For
her of hours she chooses the theater
or concerts.
Soon afterward we left her to her
drawing. but not before she had made
us promise to arrange with her secre-
tary, Mrs. Hortense Macdonald. to
see showing Of her latest collection.

upon them. incidentally, too, the
collection showed that Mime. Scliia-
parelli. who introduced the upper
into women's clothes, has no idea
Of letting the men out-feature the
idea In their own attire.
Thee was one gown that alarmed
US. It was stately evening dress of
lime -colored velvet. with . slashed
skirt that At tightly in front and
then trailed OF to train behind.
The alarming thing, however, was one
Of Nine. Schiaparelli's gadgets-this
time q cluster Of rainbow feathers

tain from what we understood should
be called the bodice. The por manne-
quin had to peer therethrough Like

We decided then that. we knew what
Mime. Schiaparelli meant by amusing
gadgets-things that would stick In
your mind afterward, like that extra
touch OF the kirsch used In prepar.
ing amusing crepe suzettes.
But there was one thing in par
ticular we learned from the visit to
Nine. Schiaparellps. It was this: A

40 Goats Sold
In One Day For
Easter FeQStS

BALTIMORE, April 11.-Walter
Thomas, who conducts an animal
auction place here, set a new mark
yesterday when he sold 470 goats
in a single day.
The reason for the heavy sale,
he explained, is the fact that to-
morrow is Easter, and among Ger
tain European nationalitieS a great
delicacy for Easter dinner is goat
meat.
Georgia farmers had shipped
Thomas about 500 goats this week,
he said, and yesterday the rush
started. The buyers didn't bother
to ask the goats disposition or
anything, Thomas said. They just
paid their money, put a rope
around the animals neck and
dragged him off home, bound Tor
the oven and the stew pot.
