The wheel movement in decoration is as pronounced this season as the lotus design was in Egypt. Where it comes from no one knows, but the idea of using the tiny feathers of !gayly colored little birds comes from {the other side of the Pacific ocean. | That's where Paris is getting most of her new ideas. The presence of the potentates from Stam and Annam helps this along, especially when they !kindly elect to wear their native cos- {tumes sometimes when they go out lin a formal manner. Those peoples who are older by many centurles than we are like humming-bird plumage as decora- tion, and we will do the same if the deeigners impress the public with {their new clothes. | This sketch, which Rolande has given to tkis paper, proves the point. The material is beige crepe with stitched curves forming wheels, each wheel edged with feathers. Yellow is the color used for this particular design, but when the sash was to be wrapped about the simple chemise frock vellow was forsaken and padded pincushions were entirely covered with tiny pink and blue teathers and placed on one hip. It is the desire of those who make new clothes to accentuate the hip oration. We are getting familiar with that idea after seeing it ex- pressed a few hundred times by dif- ferent dressmakers. But the pin- cushion made of bird feathers is new. | Our eager eves fell upon that choice morsel, fashion vultures that we are. | (Copyright, 19! Do you serve rice often enough?

But their home was without a telephone, nor did any of their near neighbors have a phone.

It was a little lesson In humility to see how sweetly ma let pa be the “head of the family.” But she pocketed her pride—and their money —and trudged off on foot for the nearby station, to pace nervously up and down the platform waiting for a train that was nearly half an hour late. She was really a very remorseful young woman. In the bottom of her heart she realized that it was unfair of her to let the Blaisdells give her the car if John had compunctions about their so doing.

Diary of a Professional Movie Fan BY GLADYS HALL, Famous Women and Other Things, According to Gloria Swanson. T caught only a glimpse of Gloria Swanson the last time she was in town, and then I asked only ques- tions about the clothes she planned to buy in Paris and the sights she planned to see and when she would be back, but, in between feminine fads and foibles, we did touch on one or two topics that I think I shall write in my diary to show Gloria some time (and maybe you other fans) when we are all past talking of hats and hopes. I asked her, for one thing, whom she considered the ten greatest women in history, and she named these nine: “Joan of Arc, who is today an Inspira- tion to all women; Florence Nightin- gale. who went through unbelievable hardships in the service of others; Harriet Beecher Stowe; Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abraham, because Lincoln said that ‘Everything I am and everything that I expect to be 1 owe to my mother’; Queen Elizabeth, Susan B.
