PP V.. e VOLUME 10. » NUMBER 288 ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTES BLOW | AS WARNING AGAINST TRE‘ CHINESE INVADE WOMEN'S STYLES Dame Fashion Has Bowed Her Head Beneath the Yoke of the Orient and Mode a La Chink Rules IVORY AND JADE BUTTONS| To Be Used With Telling Effect in Many Short Coatees and Wraps of Velvets and Brocades. WAIST LINE IS A PUZZLE Runs From Just Below the Bust to the Hips—Sashes are Considered a Necessity This Year, By MARGARET MASON (Written for the United Press.) New York, April 4.—A Chinese in- vasion is upon us. Fifth avenue has already capitulated and Dame Fash- ion has bowed her head beneath the yoke of the Orient. It’s a lovely yoke, though, all hand-embroidered with threads of gold and gorgeous silks, so you may well rejoice at this utter surrender to mode a la Chink. Possibly there is not a garment for the spring that does not show some Chinese tendency. Sometimes | it is a lavish use of Chinese embroid- ery and again it is merely the cut of a coat a la mandarin or a Satsuma button or two. Of course, you have been wearing one of these marvelous- ly embroidered mandarin coats as an evening wrap for some ‘time, but the new three-quarter coats that the smart shops are all showing are Chinese in shape only and in mater- ial simply dull shades of crepe broche, with an edging of self-toned ball fringe. In fact, they are merely an occidental version of an orien- tal original. If your sartorial income is limited, get one of these coats by all means. They are good always and all ways. Their lovely drapery is equally adap- table to an afternoon gown, an eve- ning robe or over the filmy lace of your warm weather lingerie frock. From coat to skirt is but a short step. And, praise be, we will be through with short steps altogether if the Chinese swirt is as great a hit as it promises to be. It is cut.on exactly the same graceful lines asj the vivid-embroidered affairs affect- ed b the little yellow ladies across the China sea. York or Mlle. Paris, however, the materials are more circumspect serg- es, sponges or crepes. With the pan- els back and front and the pleated fullness between, you can take a good long stride without a stumble. Pud- dles can be crossed with impunity and street cars can be boarded without the combined aid of the conductor and the traffic squad. Carved Ivory and Jade Buttons The exquisite Satsuma and carved ivory and jade Chinese buttons are used with telling effect on the many short coatees and wraps of velvet and brocades, as well as on more severe tailored suits. These latter often show collars and vests of vivid Chinese embroidery and your new spring bon- net could not boast a more chic trimming than a crush of brocade Chinois around the tiny crown. Chinese skirts in the original cer- tainly posses as many various uses as the famous porker, whose only loss is its squeal. The front and back pan- els, with their rich embroideries in Pekin stitch, make exquisite long sailor collars which will miraculously turn your most commonplace frock into a vertiable creation. The yards on yards of two-toned Chinese blue embroidery bandings make trimming galore for a stunning gown and hat.

Paris, April 4.—French and Span- ish operatic and musical comedy stars will probably have to get along without bouquets from King Alfonso for some time, as the result of a re- cent incident at Pau, when the royal “stage johnnie” received a crushing snub. It leaked out today that while mo- toring back from Bordeau to San Sebastian, after one of his frequent consultations with Dr. Moure, the famous throat specialist, Alfonso broke his journey at Pau, and patron- ized the local opera house. The royal eye and ear quickly approved of the prima donna, and-an’ aide-de-camp was dispatched to, purchase a bou- quet, and deliver it at the stage door with the compliments of the King of Spain. To the amazement of his royal master the aide returned, greatly agi- tated, and bearing the bouquet which had obviously been rejected. “Why has she refused it?” demanded Al- fonso angrily, “I do not know that I he con- tinued, after consultnig his program.
