WOMEN'S INTERESTS Handkerchief Travels Back Hundred And Fifty Years Ao Longer Article of Utility But of Adornment as It H a* in the Days of the Fourteenth Louis of France When a H ove of the Mouchoir Sent Ladies to the ('?uillotine By A1LEEN LAMOXT (Coni^fht. ir?. By Tht A?mmI New York, June 23?The hand kerchief has traveled back 150 years. ) It is no longer an article of utility. I It has become an article of adorn ment as it was in the day of the 14th Louis of France when a wave of the ; mouchoir sent titled ladies to the bastille or the guillotine or rescued; them from oblivion. Summer has leaped in bo sudden ly that thousands of women have been caught unawares, and all last week girls were exchanging their spring rocoons for the healthy garb of summer. Chief features of the change have been the handkerchiefs. The summer girl of 1924 is adorned with' handkerchiefs without re straint. They make lavish splashes of color on white" costumes. Her hat of .Milan or bangkok straw j has one or even two handkerchiefs of brilliant coloring woven around the brim or hanging from the edge." Another handkerchief she twines about her neck while a fourth is utilized as a sash about her waist. She ties a colorful handkerchief around her waist to hide and hold her powder puff and lipstick and, mirror while her mascot doll, which has grown since last year, has* a col ored handkerchief around its neck also. Some sport dresses are trim med with panels of handkerchiefs in squares. And whisper. Her lingerie is as likely as not to be composed almost j entirely of the linen handkerchiefs which match so beautifully the color schemes of her outer garments. Step-ins of butterfly design are far from uncommon and the more staid and conservative undergarments of radiom or chiffon are being replace.! by fanciful linens of extraordinary designs combining beasts and birds of wood and stream never seen out side a nightmare or Ben All Hagen stage setting. Lace has accompanied this fash ion and has once more returned to popularity owing chiefly to the royal reception at the Court of St. James where the presentation of American princesses of wealth has established a renewed Influence on the fashions of the world. At the moment knitted clothes hold the attention of every well dressed! woman. She has a dozen charming new styles from which she may se-J lect both in silk , rayon( \gs near silk! is called) or silk and wool. Dark! green with a knitted scarf of chur-i treuse forms a charming combina-' tion exploited by one leader of what ' Ward McAllster would have called the four hundred. Flowers form the basis of moat of the designs of these kitted frocks, which carry with them the slip-ons which no American woman seems able to abandon. Most of the sweaters, however, are closed only at the extreme edge of the hip line al though most have a contrasting g . die which serves to remove even the most comon place from mediocrity. The designs provide a soft turn dow collar which has been found suited to nearly every profile.
