SEEING Spanish Queen and Daughters to Find Native Styles Prevalent Shaw In London BY JOHN LITTLEFIELD. Staf Correspondent of The Star and the Rorth ~American _ Newspaper Alliance. LONDON, June 1.—When the Queen of Spain and her two daughters Arrive in London shortly they will find the Spanish influence prevalent in fashion In decoration, clothes. gardens and amusements one must be Spanish if one % to be really smart. and if one can attend a function where there is an opportunity to wear a shawl or & man- tlla, there one will be sure to find all the most beautiful and sought-after women in_society. The Argentine ball at the Mayfair Hotel has been one of the most popular events of the season so far. and the Velasquez-Goya ball, for which Mrs Kitty Shannon Keigwin. daughter of The late J. J. Shannon. R. A, is send- ing out invitations, promises to be & Jovely spectacle. Mrs. Kelgwin, an artist. has just res- cued her new house in Lowndes Square from monotonous mid-Victorianism by & clever method of her own. She hac transformed the conventional molded ceiling by bright paints and a moderu lighting system. The drawing rooms are gay with Venetian chandeliers. and one is furnished in Moorish fashion and decorated with some odd Indian paintings on glass, while heirlooms from the collection of Mrs. Keigwin's add distinction to what might otherwise be ordinary rooms. The vogue for Spanish gardens has probably been fostered as a result of the decision of the Spanish Ambas dor to have one made at the embassy in Belgrave square This is befng laid out by Mr. Rubio, garden designer of the King of Spain He savs that the most per fect example of formal Spanish gardens is to be found in the royal gardens at Bar- celona. In these are rows of lime trees and cypresses. paved paths. mimosa bushes. fountains and olives, and. as the Queen of Spain is still very Eng- lish in her love of flowers, roses Shaw Sale Active. While Bernard Shaw has bsen away. collectors of his work have been having A busy time. At a sale in Chancery lane no fewer than 35 G. B. S. items were offered Many of these were first editions most of them with characteristically Shavian inscriptions. There were also several autographed photographs. one f which was inscribed (in purple ink) “All that is left of him" with an accompanying postcard beginning. “The picture was only a little out of date; I am older now and no prettier.” A first edition of “The Doctor's Dilemma,” and others, is inscribed, “To Mamie O'Byrne . to begin with. You can tell me afterward whether you really want to read the others " In a typed letter Mr. Shaw refers to Pinero as “The only live wire in the establishment.” | It was Mr. Shaw. by the way, who “discovered” Miss Joyce Phipps. Lady Astor's niece, as an artist. When she Was a child Miss Phipps used to sit for hours at a time working on colored sketches of dresses at her Chelsea home. | On one of these occasions Mr. Shaw was visiting_her parents and saw her at work. He was so struck by the sketches she showed him that he told her she ought to take up designing as a profession. And now Miss Phipps is making a reputation as a designer | of theatrical costumes. | | Feminine Golf Fashions.

Writer Is Honored. An important literary event was the presentation to H. M. Tomlinson of the Femina Vie Heureuse prize which he won recently for his book, “Gallion's Reach.” This took place at the French Insiitute, and brought a notable gather- ing of literary people. Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins presented | the prize. and spoke appreciatively of the romantic spirit and excellent con- struction of the novel, while Mr. Tom- linson expressed ironic surprise that his book, which has such very slight fem- | inine interest, should have been chosen by a committee of French woman writ ers i The gathering was distinguished by the extreme: chic. of - the. woman writers present. Truly they can no longer be cslled “dowdy” or “blue stockings.” | Miss Sheila Kaye-Smith, for instance, | who presided over the meeting. wore & | three-piece suit of beige crepe madiane. | trimmed with nutria, and a “duchess of | York” hat ef felt and straw, which re- | vealed her big brown eyes. Rebecca West had lovely jade beads with her black dress, and a diamond cat pin in her hat. while G. B. Stern, s0 in black, carried a crimson walk- ing-stick to match her scarf, Lynd wore a most original toque of pheasant feathers. Royal “Interesting Event.” 1 Cora, the Prince of Wales' cairn ter- rier, who goes everywhere with him and sleeps in his room. has become the mother of five puppies. This “interest- ing event” occurred about six weeks ago. and caused the prince no little anxiety for Cora’s welfare, The little dog was sent to a nursing home, which is under the management of the King's vet, and every day her royal master paid her a visit. The prince was careful, however, to keep to | the regular visiting hours. because of the patients are fed and put to bed at 5 o'clock. Cora is now home again, and the proud possessor 0f a fine portable ken- nel, which folds up and fastens with straps into & convenient bundle like a hold-all. The kennel is intended fof | indoor use, and has rubber flooring and | a little “run” for the puppies. The prince intends to take it by car from St. James' Palace to Sunningdale on | week ends. Music With Swimming. Miss Mercedes Gleitze, who is at- tempting to swim the wash, is an em- bodiment of the saying, “She shall have music wherever she goes.” A talking machine will be onthe boat which accompanies her and she has asked the friends on board to join in the choruses of well known songs and ymns while she is swimming. After listening to 150 records, Miss | Gleitze has chosen 10 tunes to “ac-| company” her swim. One of them, ap- | propriately enough, is “For Those in Peril_on_the Sea while others in DANDRUFE AND FALLING HAIR Millions use Lacky Tiger for sealp X Fex for TICER BumsteadsWormSyru | “To children an sukel of mercy directions Tollowed, 1T Ktood sixty vears’ fest. or by mall, 50 & botfle. .
