Beloved Singer Pleaded
For Mercy, Not Justice

The beloved Madame Schu-
mann-Heink was woman of rare
charm and geniality. She was the
first to make fun of her own short
comings, and was often heard to
comment spontaneously on her
decidedly matronly figure.
On one occasion, a fashionable
portrait painter asked her to sit
for her portrait. The plump opera
star hesitated for long while
before making her decision.
'Don't be afraid, Madame"
said the artist teasingly. "Pll do
you justice"
"Ah," replied the prima donna,
'sit isn't justice I ask at your
hands; it is mercy!"

Fabrics used in the fall collec-

elegance. Some merchants say this
is the grand climax before we settle
down to utilitarian Weaves, and that
lavish silks will be less and less
available. However, the present
handsome silks are setting the pace
for rayon weaves produced in our
own country that will reproduce
handsome failles, satins, brocades,

Stiff silk weaves such as failles,

and are also being made up in stun

The trick" is to assemble a
